Overview of UHD1C560MDD – 56 µF, 16 V Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UHD1C560MDD is a Nichicon UHD-series radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 56 µF and a rated voltage of 16 V. It is a compact, polarized can-type capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require moderate capacitance in a small radial package.
Key characteristics include low impedance at higher frequencies (series design), specified ripple current capability, a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C, and RoHS compliance. Note: this part is listed as End Of Life.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low Loss (tan δ) — Rated tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.16 at 20 °C, 120 Hz for 16 V units, supporting efficient performance in AC ripple environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Supports 175 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 250 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling handling of AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
- Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of approximately 8.96 µA (measured after 2 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C).
- Temperature and Endurance — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
- Compact Radial Package — Small can dimensions φ5 × 11 mm (L), lead spacing 2.0 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance, and radial lead mounting for through-hole assembly.
- Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Suitable where a polarized 56 µF, 16 V radial electrolytic capacitor is required for smoothing, decoupling or energy storage in small form-factor assemblies.
- Power supply ripple handling — Sized for moderate ripple currents at both low and high frequencies, helping manage AC ripple in compact power sections.
- Consumer and industrial PCBs — Compact radial footprint and 2 mm lead spacing make it appropriate for through-hole mounting in space-constrained boards used across general-purpose devices.
Unique Advantages
- Compact footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can size and 2.0 mm lead spacing minimize board area for designs needing moderate capacitance in tight spaces.
- Frequency-aware ripple performance: Separate ripple current ratings for 120 Hz (175 mA) and 100 kHz (250 mA) support designers addressing both low- and high-frequency ripple sources.
- Robust temperature range: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range supports deployment across varied ambient conditions.
- Measured low leakage: ~8.96 µA leakage after 2 minutes at 20 °C helps preserve circuit performance in bias-sensitive applications.
- RoHS compliant: Meets applicable RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing processes.
- Through-hole convenience: Radial lead mounting simplifies prototyping and repair compared with surface-mount components.
