Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent Selection (Direct Replacement)

The Nichicon MABA044470KHL and MABA044470KHS parts provide parametric equivalence to the obsolete 475MABA04KHS. Both Nichicon alternatives maintain identical electrical specifications (4.7 µF, 370V DC, 160V AC) and physical dimensions (1.260" x 0.551" x 1.102" height, 27.50mm lead spacing). Both parts carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance. Selection between MABA044470KHL and MABA044470KHS depends on specific packaging and inventory requirements, as both are functionally identical.

Functional Substitute Selection (Higher Voltage Rating)

The KEMET R46KR447050M2K provides a functional substitute with elevated voltage ratings (560V DC, 275V AC) while maintaining the 4.7 µF capacitance and polypropylene metallized dielectric. This part is suitable for applications where higher voltage margin is required or where circuit redesign permits accommodation of increased physical dimensions (0.709" width, 1.303" height). The R46KR447050M2K carries active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C). Lead spacing remains compatible at 27.50mm.

All substitute parts maintain through-hole radial mounting configuration and PC pin termination, ensuring compatibility with existing printed circuit board layouts designed for the original 475MABA04KHS component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Nichicon MABA044470KHL or MABA044470KHS be used as direct replacements for the 475MABA04KHS?

A: Yes. Both Nichicon parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (4.7 µF), voltage ratings (370V DC, 160V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C), and physical dimensions (1.260" x 0.551" x 1.102" height). Lead spacing of 27.50mm matches the original specification. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between MABA044470KHL and MABA044470KHS?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon and are parametric equivalents to the 475MABA04KHS. The specifications provided indicate both maintain identical electrical and physical parameters. Selection between these two variants should be based on packaging format and inventory availability specific to your procurement requirements.

Q: Can the KEMET R46KR447050M2K be used in place of the 475MABA04KHS?

A: The KEMET R46KR447050M2K is a functional substitute with the same 4.7 µF capacitance and polypropylene metallized dielectric. However, it features elevated voltage ratings (560V DC versus 370V DC; 275V AC versus 160V AC) and increased physical dimensions (0.709" width versus 0.551" width; 1.303" height versus 1.102" height). This part is suitable only if the circuit design permits the higher voltage rating and if board layout accommodates the larger package dimensions. Lead spacing remains compatible at 27.50mm.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 475MABA04KHS and all listed substitute parts (MABA044470KHL, MABA044470KHS, and R46KR447050M2K) carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the lead spacing for all these parts?

A: All parts, including the original 475MABA04KHS and all substitutes, maintain a lead spacing of 1.083" (27.50mm), ensuring compatibility with existing printed circuit board hole patterns.

Q: Does the KEMET R46KR447050M2K fit in the same physical space as the 475MABA04KHS?

A: No. While the length (1.260") and lead spacing (27.50mm) are identical, the KEMET part has increased width (0.709" versus 0.551") and height (1.303" versus 1.102"). Board layout must be evaluated to confirm adequate clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The 475MABA04KHS, MABA044470KHL, and MABA044470KHS all operate from -40°C to 100°C. The KEMET R46KR447050M2K extends this range to -40°C to 110°C, providing additional thermal margin in high-temperature applications.
