UPT2P271MHD

The UPT2P271MHD is a Nichicon UPT series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, offering 270 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating. It is designed as a high‑ripple‑current, long‑life component for general purpose applications and is explicitly suited for ballast applications.

This polarized radial device provides a compact φ16×40 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing, a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C, and a life rating of 5000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable where sustained ripple handling and long endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 220 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for general purpose filtering and energy storage tasks.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple currents of 880 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.408 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support circuits with significant AC ripple stress.
• Long operational life — Endurance specified at 5000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple current applied; capacitance and leakage meet defined limits after endurance testing.
• Thermal range — Operates across −40°C to 105°C, supporting demanding ambient conditions.
• Electrical loss and leakage — tanδ (DF) specified at 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and a leakage current value of 3574 µA (per product specification), enabling predictable performance budgeting.
• Compact radial package — φ16 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (lead diameter φ0.8 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for PCB through‑hole assembly.
• RoHS compliant — Complies with applicable RoHS directive requirements as stated in the product series information.

Typical Applications

• Ballast circuits — Suited for ballast application where high ripple current capability and long life are required.
• General purpose power filtering — Provides smoothing and ripple suppression in general purpose circuits that operate up to 220 V.
• Compact through‑hole assemblies — Radial lead package and φ16 can size make it suitable for designs that require through‑hole electrolytic capacitors with defined lead spacing.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified 880 mA at 120 Hz and 1.408 A at 10 kHz supports circuits with significant AC ripple demands.
• Long life under elevated temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and reliability over extended service periods.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and documented leakage current (3574 µA for this part) enable accurate design margins.
• Compact radial form factor: φ16×40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies board layout for through‑hole assemblies while maintaining necessary capacitance and voltage rating.
• RoHS compliance: Meets applicable RoHS requirements per series documentation for regulatory alignment.
