UCPW6560MHD

The UCPW6560MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UCP series. It is a radial-lead, polarized aluminum can capacitor with a rated capacitance of 56 µF and a rated voltage of 420 V.

Designed for general-purpose use in compact high-voltage applications, the UCPW6560MHD combines long-life endurance (10,000 hours at 105°C) with measurable ripple-current capability and a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance: 56 µF nominal with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for a variety of general-purpose filtering tasks.
• High rated voltage: 420 V rated voltage provides capability for higher-voltage circuits within the UCP family.
• Long endurance: Life rating of 10,000 hours at 105°C (endurance conditions defined by the manufacturer), supporting designs that require extended operational life at elevated temperature.
• Loss and leakage characteristics: tan δ ≤ 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 1,040.8 µA, enabling predictable electrical behaviour in designs.
• Ripple current performance: Low-frequency ripple current 460 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 690 mA (10 kHz), allowing effective suppression of AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Compact radial package: Case size φ12.5 × 31.5 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), delivered in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly and hand or wave solder processes.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified for −40°C to 105°C operating range to support deployment across varied thermal environments.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing and filtering: Rated voltage and ripple-current specifications make the UCPW6560MHD suitable for smoothing and decoupling in compact high-voltage power supplies.
• Industrial control equipment: Miniature high-voltage capability and long-life endurance suit space-constrained industrial electronics requiring reliable power conditioning.
• General-purpose high-voltage electronics: Polarized radial-lead construction and standardized size support use in a range of general-purpose high-voltage circuits where long-term stability is needed.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage in a miniature package: 420 V rating with a φ12.5 × 31.5 mm case delivers high-voltage capability without a large footprint, aiding compact PCB layouts.
• Long operational life: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in applications with elevated operating temperatures.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling: Specified ripple currents for both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies provide predictable performance across common ripple conditions.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.24 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined leakage current support deterministic design margins for filtering and decoupling circuits.
• Through-hole, serviceable format: Radial leaded can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) simplifies assembly and allows for replacement or manual rework when needed.
