UCY2C561MHD

The UCY2C561MHD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series, designed for high ripple current and long operating life in demanding environments. It delivers 560 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ18 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Targeted for applications that require robust power filtering and energy buffering—particularly in automotive electronics—the part combines elevated ripple handling, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and a rated endurance of 12,000 hours at 105°C to support long‑term system reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current — Low‑frequency ripple current of 2.13 A at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 4.26 A at 100 kHz for effective smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Endurance specification of 12,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, enabling extended service life in hot environments.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Maximum tan δ of 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 3,684 µA for design verification.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can style (φ18 × 40 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant for use in regulated applications.
• Operating Range — Specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — Energy buffering and decoupling in in‑vehicle power supplies and control modules where high ripple tolerance and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• Power Supplies and DC‑DC Converters — Bulk and output smoothing in high‑voltage power circuits benefiting from the capacitor’s high ripple current capability and long life at 105°C.
• Ballast and Lighting Power — Filtering and energy storage in ballast and lighting drivers, leveraging the UCY series’ suitability for power supply and ballast applications.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high‑temperature operation — 12,000 hours endurance at 105°C supports reliable performance in thermally demanding systems.
• High ripple capacity across frequencies — Clear low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (2.13 A at 120 Hz; 4.26 A at 100 kHz) allow predictable thermal and ripple design margins.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification — Provides a recognized level of automotive reliability for designs requiring industry qualification.
• Compact radial can format — φ18 × 40 mm radial package with standard lead spacing simplifies PCB layout for through‑hole power designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets regulatory requirements for lead‑free assemblies.
• Flexible sourcing — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to fit production and prototyping workflows.
