UHW1A562MHD6

The UHW1A562MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHW series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 5600 µF and 10 V, designed for general-purpose power applications that require high ripple current handling and low impedance in a compact can.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, a broad operating temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), and a rated endurance of 10,000 hours at 105°C for sustained reliability in demanding systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF at 10 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.239 A at 120 Hz and 3.81 A at 10 kHz supports high-frequency switching applications and reduces heating under AC stress.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 39 mΩ for improved filtering performance and lower voltage drop under load.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current listed at 560 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.26 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operating range –40°C to 105°C with an endurance (life) rating of 10,000 hours at 105°C to support long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Mechanical / Package — Radial-lead can, size φ16 × 25L with lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm) for straightforward through-hole mounting and secure mechanical retention.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant, supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and smoothing for DC output rails where high ripple current and low impedance are required.
• DC-DC Converters — Input/output decoupling for converters operating at both low and high switching frequencies, leveraging the specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Energy storage and filtering in control modules and power conditioning circuits operating across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Rated 3.239 A (120 Hz) and 3.81 A (10 kHz) enables effective handling of AC stress in switching environments, reducing temperature rise.
• Compact, high-capacitance package: 5600 µF in a φ16 × 25L can saves board space while delivering bulk energy storage.
• Proven endurance at elevated temperature: 10,000-hour life at 105°C supports long-term reliability in hot operating conditions.
• Low impedance: 39 mΩ characteristic improves transient response and reduces ripple voltage under load.
• Practical through-hole form factor: Radial leads with 7.5 mm spacing simplify prototyping and robust mechanical mounting for PCB assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant construction supports environmental requirements.
