Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SH472M010ST is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 4700 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50 mm) (exact match required)
• Diameter: 0.630" (16.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Height - Seated (Max): Acceptable range 0.846" to 0.984" (21.50 mm to 25.00 mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum lower bound of -40°C acceptable; upper bound of 105°C required
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 hours or greater at 105°C acceptable
• ESR / Impedance: Lower values acceptable (improved performance)
• Ripple Current: Higher values acceptable (improved performance)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, package configuration, and lead spacing. Variations in height, temperature range, and performance characteristics represent either equivalent or upgraded specifications suitable for direct replacement in the original application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: SEK472M010ST

The SEK472M010ST from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is the direct upgrade path from the obsolete SH472M010ST. Both components are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring design continuity and compatibility. The SEK series maintains identical electrical specifications (4700 µF, 10 V, ±20% tolerance) and physical dimensions while extending the operating temperature range to -55°C to 105°C. Product status is active with 1024 units in inventory. This selection eliminates supplier transition risk and maintains established supply chain relationships.

Secondary Recommendations for Extended Reliability:

For applications requiring enhanced reliability and extended operational lifetime, the following active products provide 10000-hour ratings at 105°C compared to the original 2000-hour specification:

• 10ZLH4700MEFC16X20 (Rubycon ZLH series): 1797 units available. Height reduced to 0.866" (22.00 mm). Highest inventory availability.
• 10ZLJ4700M16X20 (Rubycon ZLJ series): 1428 units available. Height reduced to 0.866" (22.00 mm).
• EEU-FR1A472S (Panasonic FR-A series): 1047 units available. Height reduced to 0.866" (22.00 mm).
• EKZN100ELL472ML20S (Chemi-Con KZN series): 802 units available. Height reduced to 0.846" (21.50 mm).

Automotive-Qualified Option:

The EEU-FC1A472 (Panasonic FC series) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C. Height matches original specification at 0.984" (25.00 mm). Product status is active with 1026 units in inventory. Lifetime rating is 5000 hours at 105°C.

Not Recommended for New Designs:

The UHW1A472MHD6 (Nichicon UHW series) is classified as "Not For New Designs" and should be avoided for new product development despite meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different height?

A: Yes. The original SH472M010ST has a maximum seated height of 0.984" (25.00 mm). Substitute parts with reduced heights of 0.866" (22.00 mm) or 0.846" (21.50 mm) are acceptable for through-hole mounting applications where the component is soldered to a PCB. Verify clearance in your specific application layout. The EEU-FC1A472 maintains the original height specification if exact dimensional matching is required.

Q: What is the difference between the Rubycon ZLH and ZLJ series?

A: Both 10ZLH4700MEFC16X20 and 10ZLJ4700M16X20 meet all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The ZLH series features 15 mOhms impedance with 2.275 A ripple current at 120 Hz. The ZLJ series features 21 mOhms impedance with 2.331 A ripple current at 120 Hz. Both provide 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C. Selection between these options depends on ripple current and impedance requirements of your specific circuit.

Q: Is the SEK472M010ST a direct replacement?

A: Yes. The SEK472M010ST is manufactured by the same supplier (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) and maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions as the SH472M010ST. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C) represents an improvement. This is the recommended replacement for existing designs currently using the SH472M010ST.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have lower heights?

A: Improved manufacturing processes and internal design optimization in active product lines allow manufacturers to achieve the same electrical performance in more compact form factors. The reduced height does not affect electrical performance and provides design flexibility for space-constrained applications.

Q: Can I use the EEU-FC1A472 in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The EEU-FC1A472 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for general-purpose applications. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification indicates enhanced reliability and quality assurance standards. This component is suitable for any application requiring a 4700 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial can package.

Q: What is the significance of the 10000-hour lifetime rating?

A: The original SH472M010ST provides 2000 hours of operational life at 105°C. Substitute parts offering 10000-hour ratings provide five times the operational lifetime under identical thermal conditions. This extended reliability is achieved through improved internal construction and materials. For applications with extended service life requirements or high-temperature operating environments, the 10000-hour rated components provide superior performance margins.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference are RoHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original SH472M010ST. All components are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the UHW1A472MHD6?

A: This designation indicates that while the component meets all technical specifications and is currently in inventory, the manufacturer (Nichicon) does not recommend its use in new product designs. This typically reflects a transition to newer product lines or planned discontinuation. For new designs, select from components with "Active" product status.
