UPT2D820MHD

The UPT2D820MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPT series. It is a miniature, radial-lead polarized can designed for general-purpose electronic equipment, offering a nominal capacitance of 82 µF and a rated voltage of 200 V.

Engineered for high ripple environments and extended operation, the part provides measured ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, a long endurance rating at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 82 µF capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current values of 410 mA at 120 Hz and 656 mA at 10 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple stress.
• Long life & endurance — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, with capacitance change and leakage current limits defined for reliable long-term use.
• Wide operating temperature range — Specified for operation from –40°C to +105°C.
• Compact radial package — Radial lead can with 5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L 2.5 × D 1.25 cm for space-conscious through-hole designs.
• Polarized, through-hole mounting — Polarized configuration with radial leads for conventional PCB mounting and replacement workflows.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts — Suited for ballast applications that require capacitors capable of handling elevated ripple currents.
• General-purpose power electronics — Used for smoothing and filtering duties in general-purpose equipment where a 200 V, 82 µF polarized capacitor is appropriate.
• High-frequency ripple environments — Applicable where ripple extends into kHz ranges, supported by the part’s specified high-frequency ripple current rating.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for ripple-heavy conditions — Specified ripple-current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz reduce the risk of overheating and performance degradation under AC ripple.
• Space-saving form factor — The compact L 2.5 × D 1.25 cm can and 5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for dense through-hole layouts.
• Proven long-term endurance — 5000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports applications requiring extended operational life.
• Broad temperature capability — Operation from –40°C to +105°C addresses a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Simple through-hole replacement — Radial-lead, polarized construction eases assembly and maintenance on legacy and industrial PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained designs.
