UHW2A560MPD

The UHW2A560MPD is a radial-lead, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UHW series designed for high ripple current and high reliability applications. It provides 56 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Built for demanding power-electronics and general-purpose circuits, this part combines low impedance, substantial ripple-current capability, and long-term endurance across a −40°C to +105°C operating range.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 56 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 100 V; low impedance of 660 mΩ for effective decoupling and bulk energy storage.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 512 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.28 A (10 kHz) for robust performance in switching and power-supply environments.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 56 µA, providing predictable dissipation and low standby leakage.
• Thermal and Lifetime Reliability — Rated for −40°C to +105°C operation with an endurance of 12,000 hours at 105°C to support long-life applications.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 12.5 mm can, radial lead mounting with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.
• RoHS Compliance — Manufactured in accordance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies and DC–DC Converters — Bulk and output filtering at up to 100 V with high ripple-current handling to manage switching transients and reduce voltage ripple.
• Industrial Control Electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in motor drives and control modules that require long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Power Conditioning and Filtering — Decoupling and local energy storage where low impedance and low loss (tanδ) improve voltage stability across frequency ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current density: Supports up to 1.28 A at 10 kHz, enabling reliable filtering in high-frequency switching environments.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 12.5 mm radial can provides significant capacitance in a small package for space-constrained designs.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified tanδ (0.08) and defined leakage current (56 µA) allow straightforward thermal and power-loss budgeting.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 12,000 hours at 105°C offers extended field life for industrial and continuous-operation applications.
• Flexible handling options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to accommodate different assembly workflows.
