UCY2C560MPD

The UCY2C560MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 56 µF and 160 V, designed for applications requiring high ripple handling and extended life at elevated temperatures.

Typical use cases include power-supply filtering and ballast circuits, and the part is qualified to AEC-Q200 and RoHS-compliant for demanding environments, including automotive electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF rated capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20%.
• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 380 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 760 mA (100 kHz), enabling robust smoothing in power circuits.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — Rated for 10,000 h at +105 °C under rated conditions for extended operational life.
• Low losses and leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.2 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 458.4 µA.
• Compact radial package — Can diameter φ10 mm × 20 mm length with 5 mm lead spacing (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm) for space-constrained layouts.
• Automotive-grade and environmental compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated and automotive system integration.
• Mounting and packaging options — Radial lead mounting; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where high ripple current capability and long life at 105 °C are required.
• Ballast circuits — Energy storage and ripple attenuation in ballast-type power designs.
• Automotive electronics — Designed for use in automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualified components and temperature endurance from −40 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents of 380 mA (120 Hz) and 760 mA (100 kHz) support demanding filtering duties across frequency ranges.
• Extended high-temperature life: 10,000-hour endurance at 105 °C reduces maintenance and replacement cycles in thermally stressed applications.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification provides documented reliability for automotive and similarly demanding systems.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 20 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing fits tight PCB layouts while maintaining performance.
• Controlled electrical characteristics: Low tan δ (0.2 at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and a defined leakage current (458.4 µA) allow predictable behavior in precision power designs.
• Compliance and handling options: RoHS compliance and availability in bulk or bag packing simplify procurement and assembly processes.
