UCY2V120MPD

The UCY2V120MPD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series designed for high-reliability power applications. It delivers 12 µF at a 350 V rating in a compact φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part offers high ripple-current capability and long load life at elevated temperature, making it suitable for power supply and ballast applications and for designs requiring AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 12 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Voltage Rating — Rated for 350 V DC for blocking and energy storage in high-voltage circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 320 mA at 100 kHz; designed to handle real-world ripple stress.
• Loss and Leakage — tan δ (max.) of 0.24 at 120 Hz, 20°C and specified leakage current of 268 µA for predictable dissipation and leakage characteristics.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated life of 10,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; meets endurance limits for long-term operation.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated applications and controlled materials.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Radial lead can: φ10 mm × 16 mm length, 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for production handling.
• Operating Temperature — Rated for −40°C to +105°C to cover broad environmental ranges.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage, smoothing and ripple suppression in high-voltage power supply stages.
• Ballast and Lamp Drivers — Suitable for ballast circuits where high-voltage capacitance and ripple endurance are required.
• Automotive Electronics — Applicable to automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualified components for high-voltage power conditioning.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies support stable operation under real switching and AC conditions.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for sustained thermal stress.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint for space-constrained high-voltage circuits.
• Quality and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance ensure traceable quality and regulatory conformity for constrained markets.
• Production-ready availability: Listed as mass production with standard packaging options to support volume assembly and procurement.
