UCY2W560MHD3

The UCY2W560MHD3 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series, delivering 56 µF at a 450 V rating in a compact φ18 × 25 mm can. Designed for high-ripple, long-life applications, the part is targeted at power-supply and ballast circuits and is suitable for automotive applications where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.

Key advantages include high voltage capability, specified ripple-current performance across low and high frequencies, and a long endurance rating of 12,000 hours at 105°C, all in a through-hole radial package available in bulk or bag packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance rated at 450 V with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%; polarized radial lead construction for through-hole mounting.
• High Ripple Current Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 560 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.12 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.24 when measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation performance.
• Long Endurance: Load-life endurance specified at 12,000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after test.
• Wide Operating Range & Qualification: Operating temperature -40°C to +105°C; AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated, high-reliability designs.
• Physical & Packaging Details: Can size φ18 × 25L, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; mass production status.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems: Use in vehicle power electronics and auxiliary circuits where AEC-Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance are required.
• Power supplies: Smoothing and decoupling in high-voltage power supplies and converters, leveraging the 450 V rating and robust ripple-current capability.
• Ballasts: Suited for ballast applications as indicated by the UCY series design for power-supply and ballast use.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables deployment in higher-voltage circuits without series stacking.
• Specified ripple performance across frequencies: Explicit low-frequency (560 mA @120 Hz) and high-frequency (1.12 A @100 kHz) ripple-current ratings help control heating and extend service life under AC load.
• Proven long-life rating: 12,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging behavior for thermal-stressed designs.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Meets automotive-grade reliability expectations for designs requiring industry-recognized qualification.
• Compact radial form factor: φ18 × 25 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing make the part easy to integrate into through-hole PCB layouts.
• Regulatory and production readiness: RoHS compliant and available in mass-production quantities with bulk or bag packaging options.
