475BPS100M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 475BPS100M is a 4.7 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor in the BPS series. This radial, through-hole component is designed for audio applications and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C. The part is currently active in production status with 879 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion, or when design flexibility permits equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified tolerances.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 475BPS100M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Rated voltage: 100 V (exact match required)
• Ripple current capability: 47 mA @ 120 Hz (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Lead spacing: 0.098" (2.50 mm) (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• REACH Unaffected status (required)

The substitute part UVP2A4R7MED meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Physical dimension variation in height (0.512" maximum for 475BPS100M versus 0.492" maximum for UVP2A4R7MED) remains within acceptable through-hole PCB layout tolerances and does not affect functional compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

475BPS100M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor):

• Product Status: Active
• Recommended for new designs and applications requiring long-term supply continuity
• ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Current inventory: 879 units

UVP2A4R7MED (Nichicon):

• Product Status: Obsolete
• Suitable for replacement in existing designs or legacy system maintenance
• ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Higher inventory availability: 2966 units
• Shorter maximum seated height (0.492" vs 0.512") accommodates space-constrained PCB layouts

Selection between these parts depends on application context. For new production designs, the 475BPS100M is the primary choice due to active status. For legacy system support or inventory optimization, the UVP2A4R7MED provides functional equivalence with superior stock availability despite obsolete designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP2A4R7MED replace 475BPS100M in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 4.7 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 100 V rating, 2000 hour lifetime at 85°C, bi-polar polarization, and identical lead spacing (2.50 mm). Through-hole PCB footprints are compatible. The UVP2A4R7MED has a slightly shorter maximum height (0.492" vs 0.512"), which does not affect compatibility and may provide layout advantages in space-constrained applications.

Q: What is the difference in ESR between these parts?

A: The 475BPS100M specifies ESR of 35.274 Ohm @ 120 Hz. The UVP2A4R7MED does not provide ESR specification in the available data. Both parts meet the 47 mA ripple current requirement at 120 Hz, indicating functional equivalence for the intended application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both 475BPS100M and UVP2A4R7MED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is UVP2A4R7MED marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by Nichicon. However, it remains functionally equivalent to the active 475BPS100M and is suitable for replacement applications. Inventory availability (2966 units) indicates continued market supply despite production discontinuation.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in audio applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for audio applications and share identical electrical specifications: 4.7 µF, 100 V, ±20% tolerance, and 2000 hour lifetime at 85°C. The bi-polar polarization of both parts supports audio signal coupling and filtering circuits without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.020" height difference?

A: The UVP2A4R7MED maximum seated height of 0.492" is 0.020" shorter than the 475BPS100M at 0.512". This difference is negligible for standard through-hole PCB designs and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. In applications with vertical space constraints, the UVP2A4R7MED provides a minor layout advantage.
