The ULH2E120MNL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's ULH series designed for high‑voltage, high‑reliability applications. It combines a 12 μF capacitance with a 250 V rating in a compact surface‑mount radial can package compatible with automated carrier‑tape assembly.

Engineered for demanding thermal environments, this part is rated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C and offers a load life of 4000 hours at +125 °C. It is AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for use in regulated applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 12 μF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C for predictable charge storage and decoupling.
• Voltage Rating — 250 V rated voltage suitable for higher‑voltage board‑level circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to +125 °C with a specified load life of 4000 hours at +125 °C to support extended high‑temperature operation.
• Reliability Qualifications — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, meeting industry expectations for reliability and regulatory compliance.
• Package & Mounting — Chip type radial can SMD designed for surface mounting; compatible with automatic mounting machines using carrier tape and a 1.03 × 1.03 cm recommended land size.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple current: 45 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 67.5 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling handling of both low‑ and higher‑frequency ripple components.
• Polarized Device — Polarized electrolytic construction for correct polarity installation and predictable performance in DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive subsystems that require AEC‑Q200 qualified, high‑voltage capacitors capable of extended operation at elevated temperatures.
• High‑voltage power filtering — Board‑level smoothing and decoupling on higher‑voltage rails where a 250 V rating and 12 μF capacitance are required.
• Compact surface‑mount assemblies — Designed for automated, high‑volume assembly using carrier tape; ideal where a chip‑type radial can reduces assembly complexity.
• High‑temperature electronics — Circuits exposed to elevated ambient temperatures or long duty cycles benefit from the 4000‑hour endurance at +125 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature endurance: Rated for 4000 hours at +125 °C, providing predictable lifetime performance in elevated‑temperature applications.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Enables use in designs that require recognized component qualification for reliability.
