Part Overview

The UCZ1C471MCS1GS is a 470 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. For new applications or ongoing production requiring equivalent functionality, direct substitutes with active product status are available from alternative manufacturers including Rubycon and Panasonic Electronic Components.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UCZ1C471MCS1GS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (470 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - SMD), case diameter (10.00 mm), land size (10.30 mm × 10.30 mm), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as ESR, ripple current ratings, and product series do not disqualify substitution when primary parameters remain equivalent. The substitute parts are grouped as follows:

Direct Equivalents (Active Status):

16TGV470M10X10.5 (Rubycon TGV series)
EEE-TC1C471P (Panasonic TC series)

Upgrade Options (Enhanced Features, Active Status):

EEE-TC1C471V (Panasonic TC series with anti-vibration)
EEE-TP1C471AV (Panasonic TP series with anti-vibration)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, select from parts with Active product status. The 16TGV470M10X10.5 (Rubycon TGV series) offers the lowest ESR at 120 mOhm and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The EEE-TC1C471P (Panasonic TC series) provides direct electrical equivalence with AEC-Q200 certification and active status. The EEE-TC1C471V and EEE-TP1C471AV represent upgrade options with anti-vibration construction, both carrying AEC-Q200 ratings and active product status, suitable for automotive and high-temperature reflow applications.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes. Height variations between 10.50 mm and 10.80 mm remain within typical PCB layout tolerances for radial can packages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCZ1C471MCS1GS be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 470 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, ±20% tolerance, identical case diameter (10.00 mm), and matching land size (10.30 mm × 10.30 mm). PCB layout modifications are not required.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the UCZ1C471MCS1GS?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded by the manufacturer and is no longer recommended for new product development. Existing inventory may be available, but active alternatives should be prioritized for new designs to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current handling between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The UCZ1C471MCS1GS specifies 250 mA @ 120 Hz and 500 mA @ 100 kHz. The 16TGV470M10X10.5 provides 330 mA @ 120 Hz and 550 mA @ 100 kHz. The Panasonic TC and TP series offer 487.5 mA @ 120 Hz and 750 mA @ 100 kHz. Higher ripple current ratings provide additional design margin but do not affect basic substitution compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the EEE-TC1C471V and EEE-TP1C471AV?

A: Both are Panasonic anti-vibration variants with identical electrical specifications. The EEE-TC1C471V belongs to the TC series, while the EEE-TP1C471AV belongs to the TP series. Both carry AEC-Q200 certification and active product status. Selection between them depends on existing design qualification and supply chain preferences.

Q: Do all substitutes meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: The 16TGV470M10X10.5 and all Panasonic variants (EEE-TC1C471P, EEE-TC1C471V, EEE-TP1C471AV) carry AEC-Q200 certification. The original UCZ1C471MCS1GS does not list AEC-Q200 qualification. For automotive applications, the substitute parts provide enhanced qualification coverage.

Q: Are there height clearance concerns when substituting?

A: The UCZ1C471MCS1GS and EEE-TC1C471V and EEE-TP1C471AV have a maximum height of 10.80 mm. The 16TGV470M10X10.5 and EEE-TC1C471P have a maximum height of 10.50 mm. Both heights are standard for radial can SMD packages. Verify PCB layout clearance for your specific application.
