UPHW6560MHD

The UPHW6560MHD is a high-voltage, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPH series designed for radial-lead through-hole assemblies. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating in a compact can package, with a small footprint and 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward PCB integration.

Targeted at general-purpose and ballast applications, the UPHW6560MHD combines high ripple-current capability and an extended load life at elevated temperature to support demanding power-conditioning and filtering roles in industrial and lighting electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 56 µF nominal capacitance rated for 420 V, suitable for high-voltage filtering and energy-storage tasks.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 460 mA at 120 Hz and 690 mA at 10 kHz, supporting higher AC stress and ripple handling in power circuits.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, demonstrating sustained performance in hot operating environments.
• Wide Operating Range: Specified operating temperature from −40°C to +105°C to accommodate a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Radial lead construction with 5 mm lead spacing and physical size L: 3.15 × D: 1.25 cm for space-constrained boards.
• Polarized Design & Tolerance: Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Circuits: Suited for ballast applications requiring high-voltage capacitors with robust ripple handling and thermal endurance.
• Power Filtering: General-purpose DC-link and smoothing applications where 420 V rating and elevated ripple capability improve ripple suppression.
• Industrial Power Modules: Compact, high-voltage filtering in industrial power electronics that operate at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 420 V rating enables use in circuits where standard low-voltage capacitors cannot be applied.
• Elevated ripple tolerance: Measured ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors for both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Proven high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides a clear metric for long-term reliability in hot environments.
• Space-efficient footprint: 3.15 × 1.25 cm can size with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing helps conserve PCB real estate while remaining easy to mount.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regulated markets and systems requiring restricted-substance conformance.
