UCP2G101MHD

The UCP2G101MHD from Nichicon is a high-voltage, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCP series designed for high-reliability, general-purpose applications. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor offering 100 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage in a compact φ16×31.5 mm can.

Engineered for long endurance and stable performance under DC bias and ripple, the UCP2G101MHD is specified for up to 10,000 hours at 105°C and provides defined ripple-handling characteristics across low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing predictable charge storage for high-voltage circuits.
• High Voltage Rating — Rated at 400 V to support high-voltage designs within the specified series range (400–450 V).
• Long Life / Endurance — Specified life of 10,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; capacitance change remains within ±20% after endurance testing.
• Ripple Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 710 mA at 120 Hz (rated condition) and high-frequency ripple current 1.065 A at 10 kHz, suitable for defined ripple filtering needs.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.24 (maximum) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — 1700 µA (measured after 1 minute at 20°C), aligning with the series leakage specification I = 0.04CV + 100 (µA) and table values.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C, covering a wide thermal range for demanding environments.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Radial lead mounting with φ16×31.5 mm can, 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Designs — Suitable where a 100 µF, 400 V polarized capacitor with long endurance is required.
• High-Voltage Power Modules — Applicable in designs that require defined ripple handling at 120 Hz and elevated temperatures up to 105°C.
• Industrial Electronics — Use in assemblies that need predictable leakage and loss characteristics over long operating periods.

Unique Advantages

• High-Voltage Capability: 400 V rating enables use in elevated-voltage circuits within the UCP series range (400–450 V).
• Compact Miniature Package: φ16×31.5 mm can size delivers 100 µF capacitance in a space-efficient radial-lead form factor.
• Defined Endurance: 10,000 hours at 105°C with specified post-test limits (±20% capacitance change, tan δ ≤ 200% of initial spec, leakage ≤ initial value) supports life-limited designs.
• Frequency-Aware Ripple Handling: Documented ripple ratings at 120 Hz (710 mA) and at 10 kHz (1.065 A) help match the component to both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Clear Electrical Characterization: Specified tan δ, leakage current, and measurement conditions (20°C, 120 Hz) provide verifiable parameters for design validation.
• Standard Radial Mounting: Lead spacing (7.5 mm ±0.5 mm) and radial can package simplify PCB layout and through-hole assembly processes.
