UPT2E101MHD

The UPT2E101MHD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPT series, specified at 100 µF and 250 V. It delivers high ripple current performance in a compact, can‑style radial package for general‑purpose power applications.

Designed for elevated operating temperatures and extended endurance, this part is suitable where a small footprint must still support sustained ripple and long life: examples include ballast circuits and other power‑handling roles that require robust ripple tolerance and reliable long‑term operation.

Key Features

• Nominal Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated at 250 V with ±20% tolerance, providing predictable energy storage for power smoothing and decoupling.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 460 mA at 120 Hz (105°C) and 736 mA at 10 kHz, enabling sustained AC ripple handling in compact assemblies.
• Long Life & Wide Temperature Range — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C for extended reliability in elevated temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial, can‑style construction with 5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L: 3.55 × D: 1.25 cm, for easy through‑hole mounting and dense PCB layouts.
• Series‑Level Electrical Characteristics — As part of the UPT series, meets leakage current limits (≤ 0.06CV + 10 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C) and maintains a tan δ ≤ 0.12 at 250 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• RoHS Compliant — Meets applicable RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Circuits — Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current capability and compact size are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used for smoothing and ripple reduction in general‑purpose DC power supplies and power conversion stages.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Suitable for assemblies needing reliable energy storage and ripple endurance in a through‑hole radial package.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑ripple solution: Combines a small can footprint with rated ripple currents up to 736 mA at high frequency, allowing designers to conserve PCB area without sacrificing ripple performance.
• Extended high‑temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C supports reliable operation in thermally demanding environments and longer service intervals.
• Predictable electrical stability: Specified leakage current limit and tan δ values at rated voltage support stable behavior over temperature and time.
• Easy through‑hole integration: Radial lead and can package with 5 mm lead spacing enable straightforward mounting and mechanical robustness for wave or hand soldering processes.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance reduces regulatory burden for lead‑free product designs.
