UHW1E562MHD

The UHW1E562MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHW series, designed for high ripple current and long-term reliability in compact can packages. It delivers 5600 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with polarized radial leads for through-hole mounting.

Targeted at general-purpose power applications, this part combines low impedance, high ripple capability and extended endurance to support filtering, bulk energy storage and power-supply smoothing in industrial and consumer designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 5600 µF (5.6 mF) rated at 25 V, with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage behavior.
• High ripple current handling — Low-frequency ripple current 3.57 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 4.2 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under heavy AC components.
• Low impedance — Rated impedance of 30 mΩ supports lower voltage drop and improved transient response in power circuits.
• Loss characteristic — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified as 0.21 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling designers to assess dissipation behavior.
• Long endurance — 10,000 hours life rating at 105°C, suitable for applications requiring extended operational lifetime at elevated temperatures.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Radial can package — Compact φ16 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB layouts; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 1400 µA for design margin in power applications.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Large 5600 µF capacitance and low impedance make this capacitor suited for bulk filtering and smoothing of DC rails in power supplies.
• DC link and energy storage — High ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies supports DC-link buffering and short-term energy hold-up in converters and inverters.
• Industrial control electronics — Long endurance at 105°C and wide operating temperature range support continuous operation in industrial control and automation systems.
• Audio and amplifier power rails — Low impedance and high ripple handling help maintain stable supply rails under dynamic load conditions in audio and amplifier circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 3.57 A at 120 Hz and 4.2 A at 10 kHz reduce heating and improve reliability under AC stress.
• Compact radial can: φ16 × 35.5 mm package provides a high capacitance-per-volume solution for through-hole designs.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 10,000 hours endurance at 105°C supports designs that must remain stable under continuous thermal stress.
• Low ESR/impedance: 30 mΩ impedance helps minimize voltage ripple and improves transient response on power rails.
• Clear electrical characterization: Specified tan δ, leakage current and tolerance values provide measurable parameters for reliable design margins.
• RoHS compliance: Enables use in products that require restricted-substance conformity.
