UPT2E561MRD

The UPT2E561MRD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package designed for general-purpose use where compact size, high ripple handling and extended operating life are required. This polarized radial-lead capacitor provides 560 µF of capacitance at a 250 V rating and is RoHS compliant.

Engineered for applications that demand sustained ripple performance and thermal endurance, the UPT2E561MRD is specified for operation from –40°C to 105°C and is suitable for ballast applications and other circuits exposed to continuous AC ripple and DC bias.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 560 µF nominal capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High ripple current capability: Rated ripple current of 1.55 A at 120 Hz and 2.48 A at 10 kHz, enabling use in high-ripple environments.
• Long life and endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current; after endurance testing capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current remains within initial specified value.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified operating range from –40°C to 105°C for reliable performance across typical industrial temperature extremes.
• Radial lead, compact can package: Radial, can-style package with lead spacing of 1.25 cm and overall size L: 5 × D: 2.5 cm for board-mounted power applications.
• Leakage and dissipation characteristics: Leakage current after 2 minutes at 20°C is specified as not more than 0.06CV + 10 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max. for 250 V is 0.12 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• RoHS compliant: Manufactured in compliance with the RoHS directive.

Typical Applications

• Ballast applications: Suited for ballast circuits where continuous ripple current and thermal endurance are required.
• High-ripple power circuits: Use as a smoothing/filtering capacitor in power supplies and converters that present significant ripple at both low and high frequencies.
• General-purpose industrial electronics: Fits compact board layouts requiring radial-lead mounting and dependable long-term operation up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Measured ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide quantifiable capability for designs with significant AC ripple content.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C maintains capacitance within ±20%, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or early replacement.
• Compact radial can footprint: Small L × D dimensions and standard lead spacing simplify integration into existing radial-mount layouts.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ and leakage formulas enable accurate thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployment in markets requiring restricted-substance conformity.
