UPHW6101MHD

The UPHW6101MHD from Nichicon is a miniature, high‑voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package designed for high ripple current and extended load life. With a rated capacitance of 100 µF at 420 V and a compact 3.15 × 1.6 cm size, it is targeted at high‑voltage circuitry where space, ripple handling and long operational life at elevated temperature are required.

This polarized radial‑lead capacitor is suited for general‑purpose and ballast applications, offering a combination of high ripple capability, RoHS compliance, and endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 420 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• High ripple capability — Rated ripple current of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 1.035 A at 10 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple environments.
• High‑temperature endurance — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; designed to meet endurance criteria after the test.
• Temperature range — Rated for operation from –40 °C to +105 °C to cover a wide range of operating conditions.
• Miniature radial package — Radial can, radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions L: 3.15 cm × D: 1.6 cm for space‑constrained designs.
• Electrical characteristics — Tan δ max for 420 V is 0.20; leakage current specified as not more than 0.04CV + 100 µA after 1 minute at 20 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Lighting ballasts — Designed and specified for ballast applications where high voltage and ripple tolerance are required.
• High‑voltage power filtering — Compact high‑voltage smoothing and decoupling in designs that require 420 V capacitors with strong ripple performance.
• General‑purpose high‑voltage circuitry — Suitable for a range of general purpose applications demanding reliable performance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple endurance: Explicit ripple ratings of 690 mA at 120 Hz and 1.035 A at 10 kHz allow confident design of circuits with significant AC stress.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 hours load life at 105 °C demonstrates endurance under continuous elevated temperature and bias conditions.
• Miniature footprint for high voltage: 3.15 × 1.6 cm can size and radial mounting deliver a space‑efficient solution for 420 V applications.
• Defined electrical limits: Clear specifications for tan δ (0.20 at 420 V) and a leakage current formula (0.04CV + 100 µA) support predictable electrical design margins.
• Frequency scaling for ripple: Series frequency coefficients (120 Hz = 1.00, 10 kHz or more = 1.50) and the provided ripple currents simplify ripple budgeting across frequencies.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental compatibility.
