477BPS016M Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 477BPS016M is a 470 µF, 16 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 maintains an active product status with 676 units currently in stock.

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. The identification of suitable alternatives requires strict alignment of capacitance, voltage rating, physical dimensions, mounting type, and performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 477BPS016M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 470 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Height (seated, max): 0.866" (22.00 mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required for new designs)

The substitute part UVP1C471MPD manufactured by Nichicon meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. However, product status differences and regulatory compliance variations must be evaluated for specific application contexts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs:

The 477BPS016M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor) is the primary selection. This component maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The part is REACH Unaffected, simplifying regulatory compliance documentation for new product development.

For Existing Inventory or Legacy System Maintenance:

The UVP1C471MPD (Nichicon) is electrically and mechanically equivalent and meets all functional requirements. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active development. The REACH Affected designation requires additional regulatory documentation and supply chain verification for applications subject to REACH compliance requirements.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for through-hole PCB assembly with identical lead spacing and physical dimensions, ensuring direct footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP1C471MPD be used as a direct replacement for 477BPS016M in new product designs?

A: UVP1C471MPD meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for functional equivalence. However, the "Not For New Designs" status indicates the manufacturer does not recommend this part for new development. For new designs, 477BPS016M is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and maximum seated height (0.866" / 22.00 mm). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected status?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates the component does not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) requiring regulatory documentation. REACH Affected indicates the component may contain SVHC substances, requiring additional compliance verification and documentation for supply into European markets.

Q: Do both parts have identical electrical performance?

A: Both parts meet the specified capacitance (470 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), and lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 85°C). ESR data is provided for 477BPS016M (776 mOhm @ 120 Hz) but not specified for UVP1C471MPD. Ripple current ratings differ slightly at high frequency (722.65 mA @ 50 kHz vs. 727.5 mA @ 10 kHz), reflecting different test conditions rather than functional incompatibility.

Q: Is through-hole mounting required for both parts?

A: Yes. Both 477BPS016M and UVP1C471MPD are through-hole mounted radial capacitors. Surface mount alternatives are not available in this comparison set.
