Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for UHE1C472MHT?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the required electrical specifications (4700 µF, 16 V, ±20%, 10000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical form factor (radial can, 0.295" lead spacing, through-hole mounting). Verify PCB layout clearance for height variations, as some substitutes range from 0.984" to 1.299" seated height.

Q: What is the difference between UHE1C472MHD and UHE1C472MHD6?

A: Both are Nichicon UHE series parts with identical electrical ratings. UHE1C472MHD6 has a larger diameter (0.709" vs 0.630") and shorter height (0.984" vs 1.240"), resulting in slightly higher impedance (19 mOhms vs 17 mOhms). Select based on available PCB space.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. EEU-FR1C472, EKY-160ELL472MLN3S, and 478KBM016M are ROHS3 compliant. UHE1C472MHD is ROHS3 compliant. KY16VB472M16X31LL is not RoHS compliant. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best electrical performance?

A: EEU-FR1C472 provides the lowest impedance (14 mOhms) and highest ripple current capability at high frequency (3.75 A @ 100 kHz), making it optimal for applications requiring superior AC performance.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit?

A: Yes, provided all parts meet the circuit's electrical requirements. However, for consistency in performance and reliability, use the same part number throughout a design or repair batch.

Q: What should I verify before substituting?

A: Confirm PCB layout accommodates the substitute's physical dimensions, particularly height and lead spacing. Verify the substitute's product status meets your supply chain requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance aligns with your application's regulatory environment.
