UHV0J122MPD

The UHV0J122MPD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UHV series optimized for low impedance and high ripple handling. With a 1200 µF capacitance at 6.3 V and a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can, it targets general-purpose electronic designs that require high ripple current capability and stable performance across a wide temperature range.

Designed for applications where reduced high-frequency impedance and extended endurance are important, this polarized capacitor offers a long-life rating and RoHS compliance for reliable integration into volume production assemblies.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 1.2 mF (1200 µF) provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and decoupling tasks in power rails.
• Rated Voltage & Polarization: 6.3 V rated, polarized design suitable for DC applications requiring electrolytic capacitance.
• Low Impedance at High Frequency: UHV series characteristic of lower impedance in the high-frequency range, helping to improve ripple suppression where frequency-sensitive performance matters.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 816 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.36 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling robust handling of switching and ripple conditions.
• Long Endurance: 6000 hours at 105 °C endurance rating for sustained operation under elevated temperature and ripple stress.
• Controlled Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.21 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing a quantifiable dissipation factor for thermal and stability calculations.
• Compact Radial Package: φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies and manual or automated insertion.
• Low Leakage: Leakage current listed as 75.6 µA; datasheet defines leakage test condition as ≤0.01CV (µA) after 2 minutes at 20 °C.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant.
• Packaging Options: Bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing for flexible handling in production environments.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment: For designs requiring polarized electrolytic capacitance where reliable, high-capacity decoupling is needed.
• Power filtering and decoupling: Lower high-frequency impedance and specified ripple current ratings help stabilize DC rails and suppress switching ripple.
• High-ripple environments: Suitable for circuits that experience significant AC ripple or switching noise, leveraging the UHV series’ high ripple current capability.

Unique Advantages

• High energy density in a small can: 1200 µF in a φ10 × 12.5 mm package reduces board space compared with larger radial capacitors.
• Designed for high-frequency performance: Lower impedance at higher frequencies supports effective decoupling of switching regulators and fast transient currents.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and lifetime budgeting under realistic operating conditions.
• Long-term reliability: 6000-hour endurance at 105 °C gives predictable life performance for designs operating in elevated-temperature environments.
• Production-friendly packaging: Bulk and bag options allow flexibility for manual assembly or automated processes without additional terminal forming.
