Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UES1C470MPM is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60 mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Diameter: 0.315" (8.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or higher than 16 V
• Operating Temperature Range: May be equal to or wider than -40°C ~ 85°C
• Lifetime @ Temperature: May be equal to or longer than 1000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Height: Minor variations acceptable within standard manufacturing tolerances

The substitute parts listed below maintain identical mechanical and electrical core specifications while offering enhanced performance characteristics in voltage rating, temperature range, or operational lifetime.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UEP1V470MPD (Nichicon): This part maintains Nichicon manufacturing continuity while upgrading voltage rating to 35 V and extending the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 105°C. However, it retains Not For New Designs status. Selection is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs where Nichicon sourcing is preferred and higher voltage margin is acceptable.

476BPS035M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor): This part holds Active product status, indicating current production and long-term availability. It provides 35 V voltage rating, extended lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C, and maintains the same operating temperature range as the original. Height is 0.531" (14.60 mm), a 0.019" increase from the original. This part is suitable for new designs and applications requiring extended component lifecycle.

50NXA47MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon): This part offers the highest voltage rating at 50 V with Active product status and extended operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C. It maintains the original height specification of 0.512" (13.00 mm). Selection is appropriate for applications requiring maximum voltage margin and temperature performance within the same physical footprint.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UEP1V470MPD be used as a direct replacement for UES1C470MPM?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (47 µF), tolerance (±20%), package type (radial, can), lead spacing (0.138"), diameter (0.315"), and height (0.512"). The UEP1V470MPD provides higher voltage rating (35 V vs. 16 V) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C), making it a compatible upgrade. However, both parts carry Not For New Designs status.

Q: What is the physical difference between 476BPS035M and the original UES1C470MPM?

A: The 476BPS035M has a height of 0.531" (14.60 mm) compared to the original 0.512" (13.00 mm), a difference of 0.019". All other dimensions—diameter (0.315"), lead spacing (0.138")—remain identical. This minor height increase must be verified against PCB layout constraints before selection.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new designs?

A: Both 476BPS035M and 50NXA47MEFC8X11.5 carry Active product status, indicating current production and suitability for new designs. The 476BPS035M offers extended lifetime (2000 hours at 85°C) and is manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. The 50NXA47MEFC8X11.5 offers the highest voltage rating (50 V) and widest temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and is manufactured by Rubycon. Selection depends on specific application requirements for voltage margin and temperature performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed—UEP1V470MPD, 476BPS035M, and 50NXA47MEFC8X11.5—are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original UES1C470MPM.

Q: Can a 50 V rated capacitor be used in a circuit designed for 16 V?

A: Yes. A higher voltage-rated capacitor can be used in applications with lower voltage requirements. The 50NXA47MEFC8X11.5 (50 V rating) is electrically compatible with circuits designed for the 16 V UES1C470MPM. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not negatively affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current handling between the substitute parts?

A: The 476BPS035M specifies ripple current of 120 mA @ 120 Hz and 188.4 mA @ 50 kHz. The 50NXA47MEFC8X11.5 specifies ripple current of 78 mA @ 120 Hz and 117 mA @ 10 kHz. The UEP1V470MPD specifies ripple current of 86 mA @ 120 Hz and 172 mA @ 10 kHz. Selection should be based on the specific ripple current requirements of the application circuit.
