ULD2E5R6MPD

The ULD2E5R6MPD from Nichicon is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the ULD series designed for long-life operation. It is a polarized, radial-lead can intended for general-purpose circuits and is explicitly suited for power supplies for LED lighting.

This part offers a 5.6 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating, long-term reliability at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance, making it appropriate for designs that require compact, long-life bulk or filtering capacitance in radial-leaded form factors.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5.6 µF capacitance rated at 250 V for higher-voltage circuitry.
• Long-Life Endurance — Designed to withstand a load life of 15000 hours at +105°C, supporting extended operating lifetimes under elevated temperature stress.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40 °C to +105 °C operation.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 62 mA at 120 Hz and 124 mA at 100 kHz for AC ripple handling across low and high frequencies.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can with lead spacing of 3.5 mm and dimensions L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm for compact board-level placement.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• LED Lighting Power Supplies — Suited for use in power supply sections for LED lighting as stated in the product description.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Intended for general-purpose circuits requiring a compact, long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
• Radial-Lead Board Designs — For PCBs that accept radial lead, can-style aluminum electrolytic capacitors with 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High-Temperature Life — 15000 hours at +105 °C provides predictable endurance for applications exposed to elevated temperatures.
• High-Voltage Capability — 250 V rating supports higher-voltage supply rails without increasing case size beyond the specified dimensions.
• Compact Radial Can — Physical size of L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm with 3.5 mm lead spacing enables space-efficient placement in board layouts.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz offer measurable AC performance across common low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports regulatory and environmental requirements for product assemblies.
