476BPS063M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 476BPS063M is a 47 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for audio applications. The part features bi-polar polarization, a 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C, and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Identification of suitable substitutes requires strict alignment of capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, physical dimensions, and performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 476BPS063M is permissible with components that satisfy the following criteria:

Mandatory Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 63 V (exact match or higher)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match or greater)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match or wider)

Mandatory Mechanical Parameters:

• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match)
• Diameter: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.709" (18.00mm) or less (to ensure PCB fit)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The substitute part UVP1J470MPD meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in ESR, ripple current specifications, and application classification do not disqualify substitution when core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

476BPS063M (Primary Selection): The 476BPS063M is the recommended component for new designs. It carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The part is REACH Unaffected, simplifying compliance documentation for applications subject to REACH regulations. The specified ESR of 4.233 Ohm @ 120Hz provides defined performance characteristics for audio applications. Current inventory of 889 pieces supports immediate procurement.

UVP1J470MPD (Substitute Selection): The UVP1J470MPD is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 476BPS063M and serves as a valid substitute when the primary part is unavailable. However, this component carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active development. The substitute is REACH Affected, requiring additional compliance verification for regulated applications. The substitute's height of 0.689" (17.50mm) is 0.020" shorter than the main part, ensuring improved PCB clearance. Higher inventory availability (1888 pieces) may support expedited procurement in supply-constrained scenarios. ESR data is not specified for the substitute; verification against application requirements is necessary if ESR performance is critical.

Selection Criteria:

• For new designs: Use 476BPS063M
• For legacy system maintenance or supply constraints: UVP1J470MPD is acceptable when compliance and ESR requirements are satisfied
• For REACH-regulated applications: Verify UVP1J470MPD compliance status with end-use requirements before selection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP1J470MPD be used as a direct replacement for 476BPS063M in audio applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (47 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (Bi-Polar), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, enabling direct PCB mounting. The substitute's shorter height (0.689" vs 0.709") provides additional clearance. However, the substitute carries "Not For New Designs" status; use in new designs should prioritize the 476BPS063M.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current specifications between these parts?

A: The 476BPS063M specifies 282.6 mA @ 50 kHz, while UVP1J470MPD specifies 360 mA @ 10 kHz. These measurements occur at different frequencies and cannot be directly compared. The substitute's higher ripple current rating at 10 kHz indicates superior performance at lower frequencies. For audio applications operating primarily at low frequencies, the substitute may provide equivalent or superior performance. Verification against specific application ripple current requirements is necessary.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 476BPS063M is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The UVP1J470MPD is ROHS3 Compliant but REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations must verify the substitute's compliance status. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0020) classifications.

Q: Why does the substitute have "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Nichicon) has discontinued active development and support for the UVP series. The part remains available in inventory but is not recommended for incorporation into new product designs. Existing systems using this component may continue operation; however, long-term availability cannot be guaranteed.

Q: Can I use the UVP1J470MPD if ESR performance is critical to my application?

A: The UVP1J470MPD does not provide ESR specifications. If ESR performance is a defined requirement, the 476BPS063M (ESR: 4.233 Ohm @ 120Hz) is the appropriate selection. Contact the component manufacturer for UVP1J470MPD ESR data if this parameter is necessary for application validation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions truly identical?

A: Diameter and lead spacing are identical (0.394" / 10.00mm and 0.197" / 5.00mm respectively). Height differs slightly: the 476BPS063M is 0.709" (18.00mm) maximum, while the UVP1J470MPD is 0.689" (17.50mm) maximum. The substitute is 0.020" shorter, which improves PCB clearance and does not prevent direct substitution.

Q: What inventory considerations should I evaluate?

A: The 476BPS063M has 889 pieces in stock; the UVP1J470MPD has 1888 pieces available. For immediate procurement needs, the substitute offers greater availability. For long-term supply planning, the primary part's Active status provides better assurance of continued availability.
