UPT2G560MHD

The UPT2G560MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package from Nichicon’s UPT series. It offers 56 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating and is designed for general-purpose circuits that require high ripple handling and extended endurance.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability (specified at multiple frequencies), long rated life at elevated temperature, a wide operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for demanding AC ripple environments such as ballast applications and other power circuits with significant ripple content.

Key Features

• Electrolytic construction: Aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package for through-hole mounting and robust power handling.
• Capacitance & voltage: 56 µF rated capacitance with a 400 V working voltage and ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High ripple current: Rated ripple current of 420 mA at 120 Hz and 672 mA at 10 kHz, with a frequency coefficient of 1.00 at 120 Hz and 1.60 at 10 kHz.
• Long-life endurance: Specified for 5000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current per UPT series endurance requirements.
• Wide operating temperature: Rated for –40°C to +105°C operation to support a range of environmental conditions.
• Leakage and loss characteristics: Leakage current defined as ≤ 0.06CV + 10 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C) and tan δ specified (max. 0.15 at 400 V, measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Radial lead, compact footprint: Radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing and a compact size of L: 4.0 cm × D: 1.25 cm for space-conscious designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated for the UPT series.

Typical Applications

• Ballast and lighting circuits: High ripple-current capability makes the capacitor suitable for ballast applications requiring sustained AC ripple performance.
• General-purpose power filtering: Use in general-purpose circuits to smooth DC rails and handle ripple in power conversion or conditioning modules.
• High-frequency ripple environments: Effective where ripple extends into kilohertz ranges, supported by specified ripple ratings at 10 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Engineered for ripple endurance: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide quantifiable capability for AC-heavy circuits.
• Proven long-life spec: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C under DC bias and rated ripple current supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Clear electrical characterization: Defined leakage current formula and tan δ limits allow predictable performance verification during design and testing.
• Compact radial package: Small can dimensions (L: 4.0 cm × D: 1.25 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing ease placement in through-hole layouts without excessive board area.
• Wide temperature operation: –40°C to +105°C rating enables use across diverse environmental conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction simplifies use in markets requiring lead-free equipment.
