UCY2G6R8MPD

The UCY2G6R8MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCY series, specified at 6.8 µF and 400 V. It is a miniature, high-ripple-current, long-life polarized capacitor designed for demanding DC applications where high voltage, sustained ripple and extended endurance are required.

Key attributes include a compact φ10 × 16 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing, rated operating range of −40 °C to +105 °C, a 10,000-hour load life at 105 °C, and AEC-Q200 qualification. Packaging is available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 6.8 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 400 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High Ripple Current — Designed for elevated ripple handling: 140 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 280 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency).
• Long Life & Endurance — Rated for 10,000 hours at +105 °C under rated voltage plus ripple current, with defined endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current after test.
• Temperature Range — Operates across −40 °C to +105 °C for broad thermal margins in harsh environments.
• Low Leakage — Typical leakage current is specified (208.8 µA for this part), and the datasheet defines the leakage current limit formula (0.04CV + 100 µA after 1 minute at 20 °C).
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 mm aluminum can with 16 mm body length and 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in radial lead form for through-hole mounting.
• Industry & Environmental — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for applications requiring recognized quality and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electrical Systems — Suitable for automotive applications that require AEC-Q200 qualification and high-voltage electrolytic filtering.
• Power Supply and Ballast — Designed specifically for power-supply smoothing and ballast circuits where high ripple and long endurance are required.
• High-Ripple Current Circuits — Fits circuits exposed to sustained ripple at both low and high frequencies, leveraging specified ripple current ratings and frequency coefficients.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability at multiple frequencies: Rated ripple currents of 140 mA (120 Hz) and 280 mA (100 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency filtering requirements.
• Long operational life at elevated temperature: 10,000 hours endurance at +105 °C provides predictable aging and long-term performance for sustained-load applications.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets automotive-grade reliability screening for designs that require recognized component-level qualification.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 16 mm radial can and 5.0 mm lead spacing allow space-efficient through-hole placement while retaining high-voltage capability.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental requirements for reduced hazardous substances.
• Controlled leakage and dissipation: Specified leakage current (208.8 µA) and tan δ (0.24 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) help designers budget leakage and ESR-related losses.

Why Choose UCY2G6R8MPD?
