UCPW6101MHD

The UCPW6101MHD is a 100 µF, 420 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCP series, designed for high‑voltage, general‑purpose applications. It is a polarized, radial‑lead can style capacitor that combines a compact footprint with long life performance for industrial and power‑electronics circuits.

Key value propositions include high working voltage (420 V), long endurance at elevated temperature (10,000 hours at 105°C), and robust ripple handling across low and high frequencies—making it suitable where compact high‑voltage bulk or filter capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 420 V rated voltage for high‑voltage energy storage and filtering.
• Long Life Endurance — Rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C with performance criteria that include capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current at or below initial specified value after endurance testing.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of industrial temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 1.035 A at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided in the series datasheet for scaling ripple by frequency.
• Leakage and Dissipation Characteristics — Series leakage current follows I = 0.04CV + 100 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C); tan δ (loss tangent) maximum 0.24 at the 420 V rating.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can‑type construction with 7.5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through‑hole mounting and mechanical robustness.
• Tolerance and Polarization — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%); polarized device for DC applications.
• Compact Size — Physical dimension L: 3.15 × D: 1.6 cm for space‑constrained PCB layouts while still delivering high voltage capability.

Typical Applications

• High‑Voltage Power Supplies — Bulk and filtering capacitance for DC bus and high‑voltage supply rails where 420 V rating is required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and energy storage in industrial converters and control equipment operating across a wide temperature range.
• High‑Voltage DC Link Circuits — Supporting DC link and smoothing functions that demand sustained ripple performance and long‑term thermal endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High Working Voltage: 420 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage circuits without stacking multiple lower‑voltage units.
• Long‑Term Reliability: 10,000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and lifecycle planning for deployed equipment.
• Frequency‑Aware Ripple Handling: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz with series frequency coefficients allows designers to size capacitors for both mains‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact, Through‑Hole Package: Radial can construction with 7.5 mm lead spacing makes the part easy to mount and mechanically robust in PCB assemblies.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Leakage current formula and tan δ specification at rated voltage give measurable parameters for quality control and acceptance testing.
• Wide Temperature Range: –40°C to +105°C rating supports a broad set of industrial ambient conditions.
