UPH2G101MHD

The UPH2G101MHD is a 100 µF, 400 V polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package designed for high-voltage applications. It delivers high ripple current capability and a long load life, making it suitable for ballast and general-purpose power filtering in compact power designs.

Key engineered characteristics include a wide operating temperature range (–40°C to +105°C), a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, and RoHS compliance, providing documented performance for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 100 µF nominal capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage for energy storage and smoothing in high-voltage circuits.
• High ripple current performance: Rated ripple current of 710 mA at 120 Hz and 1.065 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective filtering under AC ripple loads.
• Thermal endurance: Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C—measured endurance after D.C. bias plus rated ripple current with peak voltage not exceeding rated voltage.
• Package & mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 7.5 mm and compact dimensions (L: 3.15 × D: 1.6 cm) for space-constrained boards.
• Wide temperature range: Specified for –40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of operating environments.
• Regulatory compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Lighting ballasts: Suited for ballast applications where high-voltage smoothing and reliable ripple handling are required.
• High-voltage power supplies: Energy storage and output filtering in compact high-voltage converter circuits.
• General-purpose power filtering: Decoupling and smoothing in systems that require a 400 V polarized capacitor with high ripple tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 710 mA at 120 Hz and 1.065 A at 10 kHz provide measurable headroom for AC ripple in power applications, improving voltage stability at the load.
• Documented thermal life: 2000-hour load life at 105°C gives clear endurance expectations for thermal-stressed designs.
• Compact radial can: Small footprint (3.15 × 1.6 cm) and radial lead construction simplify PCB layout in compact, high-voltage assemblies.
• Wide operating range: –40°C to +105°C operation enables use across diverse environmental conditions without changing capacitor type.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports product launches in regions requiring restricted substances adherence.
