UCY2C330MPD

The UCY2C330MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series. It is a radial‑lead, polarized capacitor specified at 33 µF and 160 V, designed for high ripple current and long operational life in demanding power applications.

Typical use cases include power supply filtering and ballast applications where elevated temperature endurance and stable ripple performance are required. The part is AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, and is available in mass production with bulk or bag packing.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 33 µF capacitance at 160 V rated voltage with capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low loss — Tan δ (DF) 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient AC performance for filtering and decoupling.
• High ripple current capability — 260 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 520 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple in power circuits.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 311.2 µA for predictable quiescent behavior.
• Long life and thermal rating — Rated endurance of 10,000 hours at 105°C for sustained high‑temperature operation.
• Compact radial can — Package diameter φ10 mm × length 16 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assembly.
• Compliance and production — AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and available in mass production quantities.
• Packaging options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly preferences.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies: Bulk and output filtering where compact size, high ripple capability, and 160 V rating support supply smoothing and decoupling.
• Ballast circuits: Designed for ballast applications requiring stable capacitance and long life under continuous ripple stress.
• Automotive electronics: AEC‑Q200 qualification and a −40°C to +105°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for selected automotive systems and modules.
• Industrial control: Filtering and energy storage in control and drive circuits exposed to elevated temperatures and continuous ripple currents.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Dual ripple current specs (260 mA at 120 Hz and 520 mA at 100 kHz) allow designers to address both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple in power stages.
• Long operational life at elevated temperature: 10,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable service life in thermally demanding environments.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require industry‑recognized reliability standards.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10×16 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing offer a small footprint for through‑hole layouts while maintaining sufficient capacitance and voltage rating.
• Controlled leakage and low dissipation: Specified leakage current (311.2 µA) and tan δ 0.20 (120 Hz) enable stable performance in DC and AC conditions.
• Production readiness: RoHS compliance and mass production status simplify sourcing for volume designs.
