SH470M010ST Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SH470M010ST is a 47 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as obsolete and is used in general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers or upgraded series are necessary for new designs, production continuity, and long-term component availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SH470M010ST is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Package: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting: Through Hole (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.079" (2.00 mm) (exact match required)
Diameter: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Secondary Substitution Criteria (Allowable Variations):

Voltage Rating: 10 V or higher (higher voltage ratings are acceptable upgrades)
Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C or longer (extended lifetime is acceptable)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C or wider (extended range is acceptable)
ESR and Ripple Current: Variations acceptable if electrical performance meets or exceeds application requirements

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Direct Equivalents (10 V Rated)

SEK470M010ST (CDE, Active status, upgraded series)

Category 2: Upgraded Substitutes (25 V Rated)

UPW1A470MDD (Nichicon)
UPW1E470MDD (Nichicon)
UPS1A470MDD (Nichicon)
517D476M025JA6AE3 (Vishay Sprague)
EEU-EB1E470S (Panasonic Electronic Components, Active status)
EKZE250ELL470ME11D (Chemi-Con, Active status)

Higher voltage ratings provide additional design margin and are functionally compatible in applications designed for 10 V operation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Voltage Rating):

SEK470M010ST is the primary recommendation as a direct equivalent. It is manufactured by the same supplier (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) as the original SH470M010ST, maintains identical electrical specifications (47 µF, 10 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C), and is currently in active production status. The SEK series represents an upgraded version of the SH series with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 105°C). Physical height increases from 0.433" to 0.512", which must be verified for PCB layout compatibility.

For Upgraded Substitution (Higher Voltage Rating):

When PCB layout permits and design margins are desired, upgraded 25 V rated alternatives provide enhanced reliability:

EEU-EB1E470S (Panasonic) is recommended for new designs requiring active product status and extended lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C). This part offers superior long-term reliability compared to 2000-hour alternatives.
EKZE250ELL470ME11D (Chemi-Con) is recommended when higher ripple current capability (250 mA @ 100 kHz) is required. This part is in active production and suitable for demanding applications.

All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and maintain through-hole radial can package configuration with 0.079" (2.00 mm) lead spacing and 0.197" (5.00 mm) diameter, ensuring mechanical compatibility with the original SH470M010ST footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 25 V rated capacitor in place of a 10 V rated capacitor?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating is functionally compatible in applications designed for 10 V operation. The 25 V rated parts (UPW1E470MDD, 517D476M025JA6AE3, EEU-EB1E470S, EKZE250ELL470ME11D) provide additional design margin and are acceptable substitutes. Verify that PCB layout accommodates any height variations.

Q: What is the difference between the SH470M010ST and SEK470M010ST?

A: Both are 47 µF, 10 V, ±20% tolerance capacitors from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical performance (2000 Hrs @ 105°C). The SEK470M010ST is the active production equivalent with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C) and increased height (0.512" versus 0.433"). The SEK series supersedes the obsolete SH series.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole radial can packages?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain the radial, can package configuration with through-hole mounting, 0.079" (2.00 mm) lead spacing, and 0.197" (5.00 mm) diameter. Physical height varies between 0.433" and 0.492", which must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Q: Which substitute part has the longest operational lifetime?

A: EEU-EB1E470S (Panasonic) offers 5000 Hrs @ 105°C, compared to 2000 Hrs @ 105°C for all other alternatives. This extended lifetime is suitable for applications requiring maximum reliability and reduced maintenance cycles.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: SEK470M010ST (1021 pcs), EEU-EB1E470S (73,300 pcs), and EKZE250ELL470ME11D (11,178 pcs) are in active production with substantial inventory. UPW1A470MDD (5,782 pcs), UPW1E470MDD (35,033 pcs), UPS1A470MDD (4,305 pcs), and 517D476M025JA6AE3 (6,580 pcs) are obsolete but currently available in stock.
