UPT2G101MHD6

The UPT2G101MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPT series, rated 100 µF at 400 V. It delivers high ripple-current capability in a compact radial can package, targeting general-purpose power circuitry where elevated ripple, high-voltage handling and long operating life are required.

Designed for through‑hole radial mounting, this polarized capacitor combines a small footprint (L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing with long-term endurance at high temperature, making it suitable for equipment such as ballast circuits and other power-electronics applications that demand sustained ripple performance.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 100 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 580 mA at 120 Hz and 928 mA at 10 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple content; frequency coefficient for ripple current is 1.00 at 120 Hz and 1.60 at 10 kHz or more.
• Thermal and Reliability — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C and endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specification: after 2 minutes at 20°C, I ≤ 0.06CV + 10 (µA); tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for the 400 V rating is specified up to 0.15 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Mechanical and Mounting — Radial lead (can) package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm for efficient through‑hole PCB layout.
• Low‑Temperature Stability — Impedance stability at low temperature (measured at 120 Hz) with Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) up to 8 for the 400 V rating.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Circuits — Suited for ballast application where compact, high‑voltage capacitors with elevated ripple capability are required.
• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Fits general-purpose power filtering and smoothing tasks in equipment requiring a 400 V, 100 µF electrolytic solution with sustained ripple performance.
• High‑Ripple Environments — Appropriate for designs that need sustained ripple endurance at elevated temperatures thanks to the 5000‑hour life rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 580 mA (120 Hz) and 928 mA (10 kHz) ratings let designers manage significant AC ripple without upsizing the capacitor.
• Compact high‑voltage package: 400 V rating in a small radial can (L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm) saves PCB space in through‑hole layouts.
• Long high‑temperature life: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable aging and reliability for end‑equipment duty cycles.
• Quantified leakage and loss: Clear leakage current formula (I ≤ 0.06CV + 10 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C) and specified tan δ (0.15 at 400 V) aid in thermal and loss budgeting.
• Wide operating range: −40°C to +105°C operation supports deployment across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Standards‑aware design: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for hazardous substance limits.
