UCS2G6R8MPD

The UCS2G6R8MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCS series designed for high ripple current applications. It is a polarized radial-lead can rated at 6.8 µF and 400 V, engineered for general-purpose use including power supplies and ballast circuits where long endurance at elevated temperature is required.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 6.8 µF capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for high-voltage DC smoothing and filtering.
• High Ripple Current — Ripple current capability specified as 140 mA at 120 Hz and 280 mA at 100 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 8,000 hours at +105°C under specified load conditions, enabling extended service in hot operating environments.
• Compact Radial-Lead Package — Radial can package with lead spacing of 5 mm and overall size L: 1.6 cm × D: 1.0 cm for space-conscious PCB layouts.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Low Leakage Characteristic (series datum) — Datasheet specifies leakage current after 1 minute at 20°C of not more than 0.04CV + 100 μA (as specified for the UCS series).
• Regulatory — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — DC filtering and smoothing in high-voltage power rails where high ripple tolerance and long life at 105°C are required.
• Ballasts — AC ripple handling and energy storage for lamp ballast circuits as indicated in product description.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Polarized capacitor for a variety of general-purpose high-voltage applications requiring compact radial-lead components.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple endurance: Specified ripple currents (140 mA at 120 Hz, 280 mA at 100 kHz) support robust operation under continuous AC stress.
• Durable at elevated temperature: 8,000-hour load life at +105°C provides predictable longevity in hot environments.
• Space-efficient form factor: Small can dimensions (L: 1.6 cm × D: 1.0 cm) and 5 mm lead spacing help minimize board footprint in compact designs.
• Clear electrical specification: 6.8 µF at 400 V with ±20% tolerance allows straightforward selection for high-voltage filter networks.
• RoHS compliance: Meets applicable RoHS directives for environmental regulatory requirements.
• Proven series characteristics: UCS series data includes defined leakage and endurance metrics for reliable specification and verification.
