UPT2P101MHD

The UPT2P101MHD is a Nichicon UPT‑series aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 100 µF and 220 V in a radial‑lead, can package. It combines a compact footprint with high allowable ripple current and an extended high‑temperature lifetime, making it suitable for general‑purpose power circuits and ballast applications.

Designed for through‑hole mounting, this polarized capacitor offers designers a balance of high ripple capability, predictable leakage behavior, and stable operation across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Electrical: 100 µF, 220 V — Rated capacitance and voltage for DC applications requiring moderate energy storage and filtering.
• High ripple current — Rated ripple current of 430 mA at 120 Hz and 688 mA at 10 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC ripple in power circuits.
• Miniature radial can — Compact dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.25 cm with 5.0 mm lead spacing for space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• Long life at elevated temperature — Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current for predictable long‑term performance.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for −40 °C to +105 °C operation to cover typical industrial and commercial environments.
• Polarized, radial‑lead mounting — Through‑hole radial lead format and polarized construction for straightforward board assembly and orientation.
• Leakage current specification — Leakage after 2 minutes at 20 °C is defined as ≤ 0.06CV + 10 μA, enabling quantifiable insulation performance.
• Loss factor (tan δ) — Specified tan δ ≤ 0.12 (120 Hz, 20 °C) for the 220 V rating, supporting predictable ESR/ dissipation characteristics.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts and lighting gear — Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current capability and compact size are required.
• General‑purpose power circuits — Useful for DC filtering and decoupling in a variety of electronic equipment labeled as general purpose.
• Compact power modules — Small can size and radial lead format fit space‑limited through‑hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents (430 mA at 120 Hz, 688 mA at 10 kHz) reduce stress on the capacitor in ripple‑heavy circuits.
• Predictable long‑term endurance: 5000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions provides a measurable reliability baseline for design planning.
• Compact footprint with standard lead spacing: L: 3.05 × D: 1.25 cm and 5.0 mm lead spacing simplify PCB layout in tight designs.
• Quantified leakage and dissipation: Leakage current formula (≤ 0.06CV + 10 μA) and tan δ specification (≤ 0.12 at 220 V) support predictable electrical behavior.
• Polarized radial can for easy assembly: Through‑hole radial mounting streamlines insertion and soldering in conventional manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted‑substance adherence.
