USV1C470MFD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The USV1C470MFD is a 47 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial through-hole configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring polar capacitive storage. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical equivalence in capacitance, voltage rating, and thermal performance while accommodating different mounting technologies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the USV1C470MFD is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 47 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Thermal Performance: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The identified substitute part UUL1C470MCL1GS maintains all critical electrical parameters while differing in mounting technology (surface mount versus through-hole) and physical dimensions. This substitution is valid where circuit board design accommodates the alternative mounting method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UUL1C470MCL1GS is electrically equivalent to the USV1C470MFD and is suitable as a direct substitute where mounting technology can be accommodated. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by Nichicon, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity.

The primary consideration for substitution is the transition from through-hole to surface-mount technology. The UUL1C470MCL1GS is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and features a reduced height profile (6.10mm versus 8.00mm), making it compatible with modern automated assembly processes. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UUL1C470MCL1GS replace the USV1C470MFD in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The UUL1C470MCL1GS maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and thermal performance. However, circuit board layout must accommodate surface-mount technology. Through-hole designs require PCB redesign or use of adapter solutions.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current handling between these parts?

A: Yes. The USV1C470MFD is rated for 102 mA @ 10 kHz, while the UUL1C470MCL1GS is rated for 75 mA @ 10 kHz. Circuit designs dependent on higher ripple current capacity must verify the substitute part meets application requirements.

Q: What is the impact of the height difference?

A: The UUL1C470MCL1GS has a maximum seated height of 6.10mm compared to 8.00mm for the USV1C470MFD. This 1.90mm reduction is beneficial for space-constrained applications and is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly clearances.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the USV1C470MFD and UUL1C470MCL1GS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is the substitute supplied in?

A: The UUL1C470MCL1GS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for surface-mount component automation. The main part USV1C470MFD uses through-hole packaging appropriate for manual or selective soldering processes.
