UCYW6101MHD6

The UCYW6101MHD6 is a miniature, high ripple‑current aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the UCY series. It provides a 420 V rated voltage with 100 µF capacitance in a compact radial‑lead can designed for through‑hole mounting.

Engineered for demanding power applications, this polarized capacitor targets power supplies, ballast circuits and automotive electronics where high ripple tolerance, long endurance and reliable high‑voltage performance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C). Rated voltage: 420 V.
• Low Loss Characteristic — tan δ = 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, suitable for stable AC performance at the rated voltage.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 1780 µA after 1 minute at rated voltage (20°C).
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple handling of 835 mA at 120 Hz and 1.67 A at 100 kHz, with frequency coefficients defined in the UCY series data.
• Long Endurance — Load life rated for 12000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ18 × 35.5L) with lead spacing 7.5 mm ±0.5 mm; supplied bulk packaged with no terminal forming.
• Environmental & Industry Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive‑grade components.
• Marking — White lettering on a dark brown sleeve for straightforward identification.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Use in high‑voltage DC bus and smoothing stages where 420 V rating and high ripple capability improve system stability.
• Ballasts and Lighting Drivers — Suited to ballast circuits and other lamp driver topologies requiring compact, high‑voltage electrolytic filtering.
• Automotive Power Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification makes this part appropriate for automotive electronic modules and power systems that demand endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage and Capacitance in a Compact Can — 420 V / 100 µF in a φ18 can delivers high energy density for space‑constrained designs.
• Designed for High Ripple Environments — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (835 mA at 120 Hz; 1.67 A at 100 kHz) help manage AC stress in power conversion stages.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — 12000‑hour endurance at 105°C supports longer maintenance intervals and predictable aging in high‑temperature installations.
• Automotive‑Ready Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified for use in automotive electronics where industry qualification is required.
• Compliance and Identification — RoHS compliance plus clear white marking on a dark brown sleeve ease regulatory adherence and assembly verification.
