Overview of UHW1K271MHD6 – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead, 270 µF, 80 V
The UHW1K271MHD6 is a Nichicon UHW-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, offering 270 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating. It combines miniature sizing and a high-ripple capability with specifications tuned for general-purpose electronic applications.
Designed for environments requiring long endurance and stable high-frequency performance, this polarized radial-lead capacitor delivers low impedance, elevated ripple-current handling, and extended life at elevated temperatures.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- High Ripple Current — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 875 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.75 A at 10 kHz to support demanding power-stage conditions.
- Low Impedance & Loss — Specified impedance of 180 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.09 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for efficient high-frequency performance.
- Long Endurance — Life rating of 12,000 hours at 105°C, meeting UHW-series endurance criteria for prolonged operation under elevated temperature and bias.
- Temperature Range — Operates across −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental applicability.
- Radial Lead Can Package — φ12.5 × 20 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward assembly; available in bulk or bag packing.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 216 µA.
- Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Suited for designs that require a 270 µF, 80 V polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead format.
- High-ripple power stages — Appropriate where elevated ripple-current handling is needed, supported by 875 mA (120 Hz) and 1.75 A (10 kHz) ratings.
- High-temperature endurance scenarios — Applicable where continuous operation at elevated temperatures is expected, backed by a 12,000-hour rating at 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- Compact, high-ripple solution: φ12.5 × 20 mm radial can delivers substantial ripple-current capability (up to 1.75 A at 10 kHz) in a small footprint.
- Measured low impedance: 180 mΩ impedance combined with tan δ = 0.09 at 20°C/120 Hz supports improved high-frequency performance where low loss matters.
- Extended high-temperature life: 12,000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior under continuous elevated-temperature bias.
- Through-hole, polarized convenience: Radial lead configuration and standard lead spacing simplify placement and soldering for through-hole assemblies.
- Specified leakage and tolerance: Defined leakage current (216 µA) and ±20% capacitance tolerance allow for predictable design margins.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports environmental requirements for many electronic products.
