UPH2W270MPD

The UPH2W270MPD from Nichicon is a high‑voltage, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPH series, designed for radial lead through‑hole assemblies. It provides 27 µF capacitance at a 450 V rating with a compact can-style package suited to power and ballast environments.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple conditions, this capacitor offers a long load life and RoHS compliance for use in industrial and general‑purpose high‑voltage designs.

Key Features

• High voltage capability — Rated voltage of 450 V for high-voltage circuits and power rails.
• Compact, radial can package — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and size L: 3.15 × D: 1 cm for dense board layouts.
• Capacitance and tolerance — 27 µF nominal with tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to handle elevated ambient conditions.
• High ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 300 mA at 120 Hz and 450 mA at 10 kHz to support AC and switching environments.
• Long load life — Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended operation under rated conditions.
• Polarized device — Polar capacitor for correct polarity installation in power circuits.
• Environmental compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Ballast applications — Specifically suited for ballast designs where high voltage and ripple endurance are required.
• General‑purpose high‑voltage circuits — Use where a compact 450 V, 27 µF electrolytic is needed for smoothing or energy storage.
• Through‑hole power assemblies — Radial lead and can package make it practical for power supply modules and retrofits.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage in a miniature footprint: 450 V rating combined with a compact 3.15 × 1.00 cm can enables space‑constrained high‑voltage designs.
• Designed for elevated ripple: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers size for AC and switching noise handling.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C load life provides predictable endurance under high thermal stress.
• Broad operating range: −40°C to +105°C operating temperature supports a wide variety of industrial environments.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS directives to meet regulatory and process requirements.
