UCS2V6R8MPD

The Nichicon UCS2V6R8MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCS series, offering 6.8 µF capacitance at a 350 V rating. This miniature, polarized can is engineered for high ripple current and long life in power applications.

Designed for general-purpose power supply and ballast applications, the UCS2V6R8MPD combines a compact φ10×16 mm case with an 8000-hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for designs that require sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 6.8 µF capacitance rated at 350 V for medium-voltage power circuits.
• Long Life at High Temperature — Endurance specified as 8000 hours at 105°C (for φ10×16 case), supporting sustained operation under thermal stress.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 140 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 280 mA (100 kHz) to handle switching and line-frequency ripple loads.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Dissipation factor (tanδ) 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current of 195.2 µA, enabling predictable power-loss and standby characteristics.
• Mechanical and Mounting — Radial lead mounting with φ10×16 mm can, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), and bulk/bag packaging options for standard through-hole assembly.
• Temperature Range and Reliability — Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C and RoHS-compliant construction for environmental compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing in power supply circuits where a 350 V rating and high ripple endurance are required.
• Ballast Circuits — Suited to ballast applications that demand compact, high-ripple-capacity capacitors with long operating life at elevated temperatures.
• General-Purpose Power Modules — General-purpose use in medium-voltage power modules and assemblies that require stable capacitance and predictable leakage over long lifetimes.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support performance across low- and high-frequency power environments.
• Long-term thermal endurance: 8000-hour rated life at 105°C for the φ10×16 case ensures durability in sustained high-temperature installations.
• Compact footprint: φ10×16 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing provide a small through-hole form factor for space-constrained board layouts.
• Known electrical behavior: Specified tanδ (0.24 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current (195.2 µA) allow accurate power-loss and leakage budgeting in designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports use in environments with restricted substances requirements.
• Production readiness: Product is in mass production with standard bulk/bag packing to support volume procurement and manufacturing.
