UHW1E272MHD6

The UHW1E272MHD6 is a radial-lead, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHW series. It delivers 2700 µF capacitance at a 25 V rated voltage in a compact φ16 × 20 mm can, optimized for circuits that require high ripple handling and low impedance across a wide frequency range.

Designed for general-purpose electronic assemblies, the part combines long endurance (10,000 hours at 105°C), RoHS compliance, and bulk/bag packing options for production use.

Key Features

• High capacitance density — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) with a tolerance of −20% to +20%, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power systems.
• Rated voltage and polarization — 25 V rated, polarized aluminum electrolytic construction suitable for DC applications.
• Low impedance — Specified impedance of 45 mΩ, supporting improved performance at higher frequencies and reducing voltage ripple.
• High ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.681 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.575 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under heavy ripple conditions.
• Long endurance — 10,000 hours life rating at 105°C when operated within rated conditions, for robust thermal reliability.
• Compact radial-lead package — φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assemblies.
• Loss and leakage characteristics — tan δ of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 675 µA to support predictable AC and DC behavior.
• Operating range and compliance — Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing in DC power rails where high ripple current and low impedance reduce output ripple.
• Voltage decoupling — Local decoupling for converters and regulators that benefit from the part’s low impedance at higher frequencies.
• Industrial and general-purpose electronics — General-purpose use in electronic equipment requiring long endurance at elevated operating temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help maintain stable voltage under varying load conditions.
• Predictable loss characteristics: tan δ value specified at 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports design margining for AC losses and thermal considerations.
• Compact footprint with radial leads: φ16 × 20 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing allow dense yet serviceable through-hole placement.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 10,000-hour rating at 105°C provides long-term reliability in thermally demanding environments.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for lead-free assembly requirements.
• Production-ready packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory workflows.
