UCY2D270MPD

The UCY2D270MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCY series, offering a compact φ10 × 16 mm can for space-conscious power designs. It provides 27 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating with polarized radial leads and is designed for high ripple environments and long-term endurance.

Targeted use cases include automotive and power-supply applications where elevated ripple current capability, temperature endurance, and industry-grade qualification are required. The part combines high ripple handling, proven lifetime at elevated temperature, and AEC‑Q200 qualification for demanding applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 27 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Rated Voltage — 200 V DC rating suitable for higher-voltage power rails and filtering tasks.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 235 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 470 mA (100 kHz) for robust AC load handling.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 316 µA to support stable bias performance.
• Long Life and Temperature Range — Endurance rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C and operating range −40°C to +105°C for extended reliability in hot environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing and radial lead format for through-hole assembly in compact layouts.
• Quality and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated environments and automotive-grade designs.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Systems — Designed for automotive applications where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required for DC filter, auxiliary power, and power conditioning circuits.
• Power Supplies — Suited for smoothing and decoupling in power-supply stages and DC/DC converters subjected to continuous ripple and elevated temperatures.
• Ballasts and Lighting Drivers — Appropriate for ballast and lighting power circuits that demand high ripple current handling and long life at elevated operating temperatures.
• Space-Constrained Power Designs — Miniature φ10 can and radial lead form factor fit compact, through-hole assemblies where board space is limited.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow reliable filtering under AC-loaded conditions.
• Long-Term Thermal Reliability: 10,000‑hour endurance at 105°C supports product longevity in high-temperature environments, reducing replacement interventions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating enables use in regulated automotive designs that require component-level qualification.
• Predictable Electrical Losses: Low tanδ at standard test conditions provides stable dissipation characteristics for thermal and circuit design considerations.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor: Small φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies integration into existing through-hole power designs without large footprint penalties.
• RoHS Compliant: Materials and manufacturing comply with RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory needs.
