UPH2W101MHD

The UPH2W101MHD from Nichicon is a high-voltage, miniature-sized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding high-voltage and high-ripple applications. It is a polarized, radial-lead, can-style capacitor with a 100 µF capacitance and a 450 V rated voltage.

Built for long-term operation at elevated temperatures, the UPH2W101MHD offers a 2000 hour load life at 105°C and is suited for ballast applications and other general-purpose high-voltage circuits. The part is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF capacitance with a 450 V rated voltage for high-voltage DC applications.
• High Ripple Capability — Rated ripple current of 730 mA at 120 Hz and 1.095 A at 10 kHz, supporting heavy AC ripple conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C when operated under rated conditions, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package for through-hole mounting; lead spacing of 7.5 mm simplifies board layout for radial components.
• Operating Range & Tolerance — Specified operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Physical Size — Compact footprint with dimensions L: 3.55 × D: 1.6 cm for space-constrained designs.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Device — Intended for polarized circuit topologies; observe polarity during assembly and operation.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Applications — Suited for lighting ballast circuits where high-voltage handling and reliable ripple performance are required.
• General-Purpose High-Voltage Circuits — Used where a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is needed for energy storage or filtering in general-purpose designs.
• High-Temperature Environments — Appropriate for equipment operating at elevated ambient temperatures given its 105°C rating and 2000 hour load life.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 450 V rated voltage enables use in high-voltage DC and AC-coupled circuits without stacking multiple capacitors.
• Strong Ripple Performance: Defined ripple ratings (730 mA at 120 Hz; 1.095 A at 10 kHz) reduce thermal stress in ripple-intensive applications.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance under elevated temperature load conditions.
• Compact Form Factor: Miniature radial can (L: 3.55 × D: 1.6 cm) saves PCB space while delivering 100 µF at high voltage.
• Through-Hole Familiarity: Radial lead configuration and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing ease assembly and mechanical retention for through-hole designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted-substance conformance.
