UHW1C562MHD

The UHW1C562MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can. It delivers 5600 µF of capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ16 × 25 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose electronic designs that require high ripple handling and low impedance in a small footprint, this Nichicon UHW series part combines long endurance (10,000 hours at 105°C) with wide operating temperature range (−40°C to 105°C) to support sustained performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, Polarized Design — 5.6 mF (5600 µF) polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power circuits.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and general-purpose circuitry.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 39 mΩ, supporting lower voltage ripple and improved transient response where low ESR is desired.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 3.239 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.81 A (10 kHz), enabling sustained AC stress handling across common switching frequencies.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — DF (tan δ) measured at 0.23 (20°C, 120 Hz), indicating dissipation characteristics important for thermal and ripple calculations.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 10,000 hours at 105°C, with post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current defined for reliability planning.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to 105°C to accommodate a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead mounting with φ16×25L can and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Use where a compact, high-capacitance polarized capacitor is required for energy storage and general smoothing tasks in consumer and industrial circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering — Suited to filter and bulk-capacitor roles where the specified ripple current (3.239 A @ 120 Hz, 3.81 A @ 10 kHz) and low impedance (39 mΩ) help reduce voltage ripple and support switching-regulator loads.
• High-Ripple Environments — Applicable in designs that experience sustained AC ripple or switching transients owing to the UHW series’ focus on high ripple current and lower high-frequency impedance.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: Rated ripple currents of 3.239 A (120 Hz) and 3.81 A (10 kHz) support robust operation under AC stress without sacrificing life expectancy.
• Compact High-Capacitance Footprint: 5600 µF in a φ16 × 25 mm can reduces board space compared with larger-case solutions while preserving bulk energy storage.
• Predictable Thermal and Frequency Behavior: Low impedance (39 mΩ) and specified tan δ (0.23 at 20°C, 120 Hz) provide measurable parameters for thermal and ripple loss calculations.
• Extended Life at Elevated Temperature: 10,000-hour endurance rating at 105°C enables planning for long-term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to 105°C operation covers typical commercial and industrial temperature profiles.
• Flexible Packaging: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory workflows.
