Overview of UDB1H6R8MHM – Bi-Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor for Speaker Networks
The UDB1H6R8MHM is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package, designed specifically for crossover networks in Hi‑Fi speaker systems. Its 6.8 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating, compact 12.5 × 20 mm case and radial lead configuration make it suitable for board-mounted passive audio networks and other general-purpose audio circuitry.
This component is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and is characterized for audio-focused electrical performance including low loss angle and defined leakage and ripple current ratings. Products in this series are scheduled for discontinuation and are not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Bi‑Polarized Design Enables AC coupling in speaker crossover networks and passive audio filters without polarity constraints.
- Capacitance & Voltage 6.8 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, matching common crossover design targets.
- Audio‑Focused Electricals Low loss tangent (tan δ ≤ 0.10 at 1 kHz, ≤ 0.15 at 5 kHz) and specified leakage current (≈10.2 μA at 20 °C after 5 minutes) to support predictable audio performance.
- Ripple and Continuous Current Ratings Rated ripple current 540 mArms and allowable continuous current characterized at 2.9 kHz, suitable for handling crossover band currents within specified limits.
- Mechanical & Mounting Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact 12.5 × 20 mm dimensions for straightforward through‑hole board mounting and mechanical stability.
- Operating Temperature Specified for –40 °C to +85 °C to cover typical environmental ranges for indoor audio equipment.
- Identification Marked with white lettering on a black sleeve for easy part recognition during assembly and service.
- Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Hi‑Fi Speaker Crossover Networks Designed for use in passive crossover sections where bi‑polarized capacitors are required for AC coupling and filter sections.
- Passive Audio Filters Suitable for board-mounted filter elements in consumer and professional audio equipment that accept radial lead capacitors.
- General‑Purpose Audio Circuits Use in a variety of general-purpose audio circuits where the combination of 6.8 µF at 50 V and low loss tangent is desired.
Unique Advantages
- Bi‑Polar construction: Eliminates polarity constraints in AC‑coupled crossover designs, simplifying layout and component selection.
- Audio‑oriented electrical specs: Low tan δ and defined leakage current support stable, predictable performance in audible frequency ranges.
- Compact radial can: 12.5 × 20 mm case with 5 mm lead spacing offers a compact footprint for through‑hole assemblies while maintaining adequate ripple handling.
- Clear part identification: White printing on a black sleeve aids fast visual verification during assembly and servicing.
- RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS directives for environmentally regulated assemblies.
