ULH2C270MNL1GS

The ULH2C270MNL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s ULH series, engineered for high voltage and high reliability applications. It delivers 27 µF at a 160 V rating in a compact surface‑mount radial can package suitable for automated placement.

Designed for demanding thermal and endurance requirements, this capacitor is AEC‑Q200 qualified and rated for operation from ‑40 °C to +125 °C with a specified load life of 4000 hours at +125 °C, making it appropriate for systems that require long‑term stability under elevated temperature stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 27 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑Temperature Endurance: Load life specified at 4000 hours at +125 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance within ±30% and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after test.
• Automotive Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualified, indicating suitability for designs requiring that qualification level.
• Operating Range: Rated for use from ‑40 °C to +125 °C to support high‑temperature environments.
• Surface‑Mount, Carrier Tape Compatible: Chip‑type radial can designed for automatic mounting machines using carrier tape to streamline assembly.
• Electrical Characteristics: Leakage current specified as I ≤ 0.04CV + 100 µA (after 1 minute at 20 °C); tan δ (dissipation factor) max 0.20 at 160 V (120 Hz, 20 °C); frequency coefficient for ripple current available in the datasheet.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current 65 mA at 120 Hz and 97.5 mA at 10 kHz (part‑specific values).
• Compact Footprint: Package dimensions L: 1.35 × D: 1.00 cm with recommended land pattern L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for PCB layout.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: For vehicle systems and modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance are required.
• High‑Temperature Power Electronics: Board‑level smoothing and decoupling in power envelopes exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Compact High‑Voltage Designs: Applications that require a 160 V rated SMD electrolytic capacitor with a small footprint for space‑constrained PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Life: 4000 hours at +125 °C provides predictable aging behavior for designs with prolonged thermal stress.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require established automotive test standards.
• Assembly‑Friendly Package: Chip type and carrier‑tape compatibility enable automated surface‑mount placement to reduce assembly complexity.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Defined leakage current formula, tan δ limits, and ripple current ratings allow precise thermal and electrical design tradeoffs.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40 °C to +125 °C rating ensures usable performance across common industrial and automotive temperature ranges.
