UBX2C560MHL

The UBX2C560MHL is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UBX series, engineered for sustained operation at elevated temperatures. This part delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can, with radial leads and 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Designed for heavy‑duty and high‑temperature environments — including automotive electronics — the device combines high ripple capability, controlled loss (tan δ), low leakage and a 1000‑hour endurance at 150°C, making it suitable for power filtering and decoupling in demanding applications. The part is mass production ready and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 56 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage: 160 V DC rating for higher-voltage power rails.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −40°C to +150°C with a specified life of 1000 hours at 150°C.
• Ripple Current Capability: 270 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 405 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting both linear and switching power applications.
• Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), suitable for stable performance in AC ripple environments.
• Leakage Current: 458.4 µA measured after 1 minute at 20°C and rated voltage (per datasheet condition).
• Package & Mounting: Radial can, φ12.5 × 25 mm, lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
• Reliability & Compliance: AEC‑Q200 compliant and RoHS compliant; supplied in bulk/bag packing and available in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Power filtering and smoothing on higher-voltage vehicle modules where elevated ambient temperatures and long‑term endurance are required.
• DC/DC Converters: Output smoothing and decoupling on 160 V rails in compact, high‑temperature converter designs.
• Motor Control Electronics: Bulk decoupling and ripple suppression for motor driver power stages operating in harsh thermal environments.
• Sensor & ECU Power Conditioning: Local energy storage and transient suppression on control units exposed to wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature capability: Specified operation up to +150°C with 1000‑hour endurance at that temperature, enabling reliable use in hot environments.
• High‑voltage rating in a small package: 160 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can balances voltage handling with PCB space constraints.
• Frequency‑versatile ripple performance: Distinct ripple current ratings for low and high frequencies (270 mA @ 120 Hz, 405 mA @ 100 kHz) support both linear and switching power designs.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Meets automotive electronic component stress test requirements, supporting use in vehicle systems requiring component-level qualification.
• Controlled dielectric loss and leakage: tan δ = 0.20 and measured leakage (458.4 µA after 1 minute at 20°C) enable predictable behavior in precision power circuits.
• Through‑hole robustness: Radial lead form and standard 5.0 mm lead spacing simplify mechanical mounting and repairability in serviceable designs.
