UHD1C272MHD

The UHD1C272MHD is a Nichicon UHD series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for general-purpose power applications. It combines a high capacitance of 2700 µF with a 16 V rated voltage in a compact φ12.5×30.5 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing.

Built around the UHD series architecture—marketed for “High Ripple Low Impedance”—this part targets designs that require robust ripple handling, reduced impedance at higher frequencies, and a compact radial-lead form factor for through-hole mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, offering significant bulk energy storage for power rails and smoothing.
• High Ripple Current: Low-frequency ripple current 2.632 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.29 A (100 kHz), enabling use where sustained ripple handling is required.
• Low Loss / Measured Dissipation: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.18 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), helping control heating under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage and Endurance: Leakage current listed at 432 µA; endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C when operated under rated conditions.
• Temperature Range: Rated for –40°C to +105°C for operation across common industrial and commercial environments.
• Package and Mounting: Radial lead, polarized aluminum can with φ12.5×30.5 mm dimensions, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant as shown in product environmental data.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Smoothing: Bulk capacitance and high ripple current capability make it suitable for smoothing and energy storage on DC power rails.
• Decoupling for Power Converters: Low impedance at higher frequencies assists in decoupling tasks for switch-mode power supplies and converters.
• General-Purpose Industrial Electronics: Designed for general-purpose use where long endurance (5000 h at 105°C) and wide operating temperature range are required.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.632 A (120 Hz) and 3.29 A (100 kHz) reduce the need for parallel components in ripple-heavy circuits.
• Low Impedance at High Frequency: UHD series characteristics provide lower impedance in the high-frequency range, improving performance in decoupling and transient response.
• Compact Radial Can: φ12.5×30.5 mm package delivers substantial capacitance in a small through-hole footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Extended Endurance: 5000-hour rating at 105°C supports longer operating life in elevated-temperature environments.
• Clear Specification Set: Measured tanδ, leakage, and frequency ripple specifications enable engineering trade-offs to be evaluated precisely.
• RoHS Compliant & Mass Production: Environmentally compliant and available in mass production status for predictable sourcing.
