UHW1C332MHD6

The UHW1C332MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating. It combines a compact φ16 × 20 mm can with high ripple-current capability and low impedance for robust performance in low-voltage power systems.

Designed for general-purpose use, this component targets applications that require high ripple current handling, predictable behavior across a wide temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and long endurance (10000 hours at 105°C).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 3300 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 2.681 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.575 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), suitable for demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 45 mΩ, enabling improved high-frequency performance and reduced voltage drop under load.
• Loss Angle (tan δ): tanδ = 0.19 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (DF measurement condition), with datasheet guidance for capacitances above 1000 µF.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −40°C to +105°C with rated endurance of 10000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Form Factor & Mounting: Radial lead can, size φ16 × 20L mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), polarization indicated on sleeve.
• Leakage Current: Typical leakage current listed as 528 µA (measured under rated conditions).
• Compliance & Availability: RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing and currently in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering: High capacitance and ripple-current capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and filtering in low-voltage power supplies.
• DC–DC converter output decoupling: Low impedance and high-frequency ripple rating support stable output decoupling in converters operating near the 16 V domain.
• Industrial control electronics: Wide operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and long endurance support reliability in industrial environments.
• General-purpose electronics: The radial-lead form factor and compact φ16 × 20 mm size fit common board layouts for a variety of low-voltage, high-energy applications.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: Rated for 2.681 A at 120 Hz and 3.575 A at 10 kHz, reducing stress on the capacitor under AC load conditions.
• Compact, high-capacitance package: 3300 µF in a φ16 × 20 mm can provides significant capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Low impedance for improved dynamic response: 45 mΩ impedance supports faster transient response and lower ESR-related losses.
• Wide temperature tolerance and long life: −40°C to +105°C operating range with 10000-hour endurance at 105°C addresses demanding thermal environments and long-term reliability needs.
• Measured dissipation characteristics: tanδ = 0.19 at 20°C, 120 Hz provides a quantifiable loss metric for system-level thermal and efficiency calculations.
• Production-ready supply and compliance: RoHS compliant and available in bulk or bag packing with mass-production status for supply chain predictability.
