ULD2E6R8MPD

The ULD2E6R8MPD from Nichicon is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 6.8 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating in a compact φ8×11.5 mm footprint with through‑hole mounting.

Key attributes include long life at elevated temperature, measurable ripple current performance at both low and high frequency, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for compact power supplies and other general‑purpose circuits that require a small, robust electrolytic capacitor.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics — 6.8 µF nominal capacitance with capacitance tolerance −20% to +20%; polarized design rated at 250 V.
• Loss and leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current 168 µA (product data).
• Ripple current performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 68 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 129.2 mA at 100 kHz, specified for application filtering and smoothing tasks.
• Endurance and temperature range — Life/endurance specified as 15,000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead, can package (φ8×11.5 mm); lead spacing 3.5 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance for reliable through‑hole placement.
• Compliance and packing — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing options.

Typical Applications

• LED lighting power supplies — Suitable for filtering and energy storage in compact LED driver circuits where long life at elevated temperature is important.
• General-purpose power supplies — Used for smoothing and decoupling in through‑hole power supply designs at medium voltage (250 V rated).
• Compact through‑hole assemblies — Small φ8×11.5 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing fit space-constrained boards requiring reliable electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 250 V rating enables use in higher‑voltage supply rails without changing topology.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 15,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for continuous‑use power applications.
• Dual‑frequency ripple data: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support designers addressing both mains‑frequency and switching‑frequency ripple.
• Compact through‑hole form factor: φ8×11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing simplifies replacement designs and small PCBs.
• RoHS compliant and packaged for production: Environmentally compliant and available in bulk or bag packing for manufacturing workflows.
