476BPS025M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 476BPS025M is a 47 µF, 25 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 features a 2000-hour lifetime rating at 85°C with bi-polar polarization. The part is currently active in production status. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences extended lead times, inventory constraints, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

476BPS025M (Primary Part): The 476BPS025M is the recommended primary selection. This part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It is fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. The part carries a specified ESR of 7.055 Ohm @ 120Hz and defined ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies, providing complete electrical characterization for audio applications.

UVP1E470MED (Substitute Part): The UVP1E470MED is a qualified substitute when the 476BPS025M is unavailable. This Nichicon part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. However, the UVP1E470MED carries an obsolete product status, indicating discontinued production. The substitute part is suitable for applications where inventory availability is the limiting factor. The height dimension of 0.492" (12.50mm) is 0.020" (0.50mm) lower than the primary part, which remains compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements, as both meet the functional and compliance specifications for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UVP1E470MED be used as a direct replacement for the 476BPS025M?

A: Yes. The UVP1E470MED meets all critical electrical specifications (47 µF, 25 V, ±20% tolerance, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and mechanical specifications (lead spacing, can diameter, through-hole mounting, radial package). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The height difference of 0.020" (0.50mm) does not affect PCB compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The 476BPS025M maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability from the manufacturer. The UVP1E470MED is obsolete, meaning production has been discontinued. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the 476BPS025M is the preferred choice. The UVP1E470MED is suitable for replacement or repair applications where existing inventory is available.

Q: Are there differences in ESR or ripple current ratings between these parts?

A: The 476BPS025M specifies an ESR of 7.055 Ohm @ 120Hz with ripple current ratings of 95 mA @ 120 Hz and 149.15 mA @ 50 kHz. The UVP1E470MED does not provide an ESR specification but specifies ripple current of 95 mA @ 120 Hz and 190 mA @ 10 kHz. Both parts meet the 95 mA @ 120 Hz ripple current requirement. For applications requiring specific ESR or high-frequency ripple current performance, the 476BPS025M provides complete electrical characterization.

Q: Do both parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm) and can diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm). The UVP1E470MED has a maximum seated height of 0.492" (12.50mm) compared to the 476BPS025M at 0.512" (13.00mm). This 0.020" (0.50mm) difference does not affect standard through-hole PCB layouts or component clearance requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for audio applications?

A: The 476BPS025M is specified for audio applications. The UVP1E470MED is specified for general purpose applications. Both parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for audio circuit use. The bi-polar polarization, 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C are suitable for audio signal coupling and filtering circuits.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 476BPS025M and UVP1E470MED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8532.22.0020. These certifications ensure compliance with environmental and trade regulations for electronic components.
