UCY2C820MPD

The UCY2C820MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 82 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is a miniature-sized, high ripple current, long-life component designed for power-handling applications where stable performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Its combination of high-frequency ripple capability, 12,000-hour endurance at 105°C, and AEC-Q200 qualification make it suitable for demanding power supply, ballast and automotive electronic designs that require reliable bulk energy storage and filtering.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 82 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance -20% to +20%, rated voltage 160 V, and polarization suitable for DC applications.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Maximum tan δ of 0.20 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting stable AC performance and predictable heating characteristics.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 534 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.068 A at 100 kHz for improved performance under loaded converter conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 624.8 µA (per standard leakage test condition after 1 minute at rated voltage), allowing predictable discharge behavior in designs.
• Long Endurance and Wide Temperature Range: Rated for 12,000 hours at 105°C with operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C for extended service life in high-temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Can Package: φ10 × 30.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing, radial-lead mounting for through-hole assembly in space-constrained power modules.
• Quality and Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated and reliability-sensitive applications.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies & Ballasts: Bulk energy storage and output filtering in switching power supplies and ballast circuits where high ripple current handling is required.
• Automotive Electronics: Suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, such as onboard power modules and vehicle control electronics operating up to 105°C.
• High-Temperature Power Modules: Filtering and smoothing in assemblies exposed to elevated ambient temperatures, leveraging the 12,000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: Demonstrated ripple ratings at both low and high frequencies (534 mA at 120 Hz, 1.068 A at 100 kHz) reduce ripple-induced heating and extend system reliability.
• Long-term stability at elevated temperature: 12,000-hour life at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for designs targeting extended service intervals.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides an added level of component-level reliability assessment for applications subject to automotive-grade requirements.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 30.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing enables through-hole mounting in compact power assemblies while maintaining high capacitance.
• Predictable leakage and low dissipation: Specified leakage current (624.8 µA) and tan δ (0.20 at 120 Hz, 20°C) help engineers model standby losses and thermal performance accurately.
• Production-friendly packaging: Bulk and bag packing options support small-batch prototyping and larger-scale assembly processes.
