UCY2G560MHD

The UCY2G560MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor rated at 56 µF and 400 V, designed for applications that demand sustained ripple handling and long operational life.

Typical markets and use cases include power supplies and ballast applications as well as automotive and industrial power electronics where long endurance, high-voltage capability and robust ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 400 V and a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 630 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.26 A at 100 kHz, enabling sustained AC loading.
• Long Endurance: Rated life of 12,000 hours at 105°C with specified endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current after life testing.
• Temperature Range: Operating temperature from -40°C to +105°C to support demanding thermal environments.
• Low Loss (tan δ): tan δ specified at 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, at 400 V) for controlled dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current Specification: Leakage current listed as 996 µA under the product data conditions, suitable for power applications with defined leakage budgets.
• Miniature Radial Can Package: Physical size φ12.5 × 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 × D: 1.25 cm), radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) for through-hole assemblies.
• Compliance & Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting automotive and regulatory requirements where that qualification is required.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies: Used on DC bus or output filter stages where 400 V rating and 56 µF capacitance provide energy storage and ripple smoothing under sustained load.
• Ballasts and Lighting Electronics: Suited for ballast circuits that require high-voltage capacitors with long life and stable ripple performance.
• Automotive Power Electronics: Applicable in automotive control and power systems thanks to AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range.
• Industrial Power Systems: For motor drives, converters and industrial supplies that demand durable capacitors with high ripple-handling and long endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating lets designers support higher DC bus voltages without adding series components.
• Long thermal endurance: 12,000-hour rated life at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in thermally stressed applications.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents reduce heating and extend service life under AC-loaded conditions.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status enables use in automotive and transportation designs requiring supplier-qualified components.
• Compact radial package: Miniature φ12.5 × 35.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing fits through-hole layouts while delivering high-voltage and high-ripple performance.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious design and sourcing requirements.
