ULD2C5R6MED

The ULD2C5R6MED from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the ULD series. It delivers 5.6 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ6.3×11 mm can designed for general-purpose electronic assemblies.

Engineered for extended operation across a wide temperature range, this polarized capacitor is suitable for general-purpose power circuitry and is indicated by the series for use in power supplies such as LED lighting. The part is RoHS compliant and designed to provide predictable performance through defined leakage, loss, and ripple current specifications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 µF rated capacitance with a 160 V working voltage for higher-voltage power rails.
• Tolerance & Loss — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and tanδ (DF) of 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Ripple Current Specifications — Low-frequency ripple current of 52 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 104 mA at 100 kHz, allowing assessment for both mains-frequency and high-frequency switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 129.6 µA to support bias current budgeting in power designs.
• Long-Life Endurance — Rated life of 12,000 hours at 105°C for extended service in thermal-stressed applications.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3×11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in radial-lead format for through-hole mounting; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• LED Power Supplies — Suitable for power supply sections in LED lighting designs as indicated for the ULD series.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Use in general-purpose circuits requiring a polarized aluminum electrolytic with defined leakage and ripple specs.
• Compact Power Modules — Small can size and radial lead form factor fit space-constrained PCB layouts and module assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Extended operational life — 12,000 hours at 105°C helps reduce maintenance and replacement frequency in thermally demanding applications.
• High-voltage capability — 160 V rating supports designs with elevated DC rails without moving to larger package types.
• Predictable AC performance — Specified tanδ and dual-frequency ripple current values aid in accurate thermal and ripple loss calculations.
• Low leakage for bias-sensitive designs — Defined leakage current simplifies bias and standby current budgeting.
• Small footprint, through-hole convenience — Compact φ6.3×11 mm can and standard radial leads enable easy integration into conventional through-hole assemblies.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious product designs.
