SH470M063ST Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SH470M063ST is a 47 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The SH series capacitor is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C operating temperature with general-purpose applications. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for ongoing design support, production continuity, and system maintenance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SH470M063ST is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Core Electrical Parameters:

Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 63 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Core Mechanical Parameters:

Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.138" (3.50 mm) (exact match required)
Diameter: 0.315" (8.00 mm) (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Environmental Parameters:

Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C minimum (substitute must meet or exceed)
RoHS3 Compliance: Required

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in lifetime rating, ESR, ripple current specifications, and product status are secondary considerations that do not affect direct substitutability but may influence application suitability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs:

The EEU-FC1J470 (Panasonic) and EEU-EB1J470S (Panasonic) are the primary recommended substitutes. Both manufacturers maintain active product status and full production support. The EEU-FC1J470 is suitable for general-purpose applications with automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification. The EEU-EB1J470S offers extended lifetime rating of 5000 hours at 105°C, providing enhanced reliability for applications requiring longer operational life.

The 476CKH063M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor) maintains active status and represents a same-manufacturer alternative, maintaining design continuity with the original SH series platform.

For Legacy System Support:

The UPM1J470MPD and UPW1J470MPD (Nichicon) are classified as "Not For New Designs" but remain available for existing system maintenance and repair. These parts are suitable only for replacement in established applications where design changes are not feasible.

Height Consideration:

The EEU-EB1J470S has a maximum seated height of 0.492" (12.50 mm), and the 476CKH063M has a maximum seated height of 0.512" (13.00 mm). These exceed the original SH470M063ST height of 0.453" (11.50 mm). Space-constrained applications must verify clearance before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EEU-EB1J470S directly replace the SH470M063ST in existing circuit boards?

A: The EEU-EB1J470S is electrically and mechanically compatible with the SH470M063ST for all core parameters. However, its maximum seated height of 0.492" (12.50 mm) exceeds the original 0.453" (11.50 mm). Verify available vertical clearance on the PCB before installation.

Q: What is the difference between the EEU-FC1J470 and EEU-EB1J470S?

A: Both are Panasonic 47 µF, 63 V radial capacitors with identical electrical and mechanical core specifications. The primary difference is lifetime rating: EEU-FC1J470 is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, while EEU-EB1J470S is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C. The EEU-FC1J470 carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification; the EEU-EB1J470S is general-purpose rated.

Q: Why are UPM1J470MPD and UPW1J470MPD marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Nichicon has discontinued these series for new product development. These parts remain available for replacement in existing systems but should not be selected for new designs. Active alternatives from Panasonic are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance requirements, matching the original SH470M063ST specification.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.138" (3.50 mm) lead spacing?

A: Lead spacing is a critical mechanical parameter that determines PCB pad layout compatibility. All substitute parts maintain this exact spacing, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a higher lifetime rating in place of the original?

A: Yes. A substitute with equal or higher lifetime rating (measured in hours at 105°C) is electrically and mechanically compatible. The EEU-EB1J470S with 5000-hour rating provides enhanced reliability compared to the original 2000-hour rating.

Q: What does "Polar" polarization mean for this capacitor?

A: Polar indicates this is an electrolytic capacitor with defined positive and negative terminals. Installation polarity must be observed during circuit board assembly. All substitute parts maintain polar polarization matching the original component.
