UPT2P560MPD

The UPT2P560MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPT series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 56 µF and 220 V, designed for applications that require sustained ripple handling and long operational life.

This part targets general-purpose power applications and ballast circuits, offering a compact φ10 × 30.5 mm can and a rated operating range of −40 °C to +105 °C with a 5000-hour endurance at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical rating — 56 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C; rated voltage 220 V.
• High ripple capability — Rated ripple current 290 mA (105 °C / 120 Hz) and 464 mA at 10 kHz to support circuits with significant AC ripple.
• Loss characteristics — tanδ (dissipation factor) nominally 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing a defined dielectric loss figure for design calculations.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current 749.2 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20 °C), allowing predictable bias current budgeting.
• Long life and reliability — Endurance rated 5000 hours at 105 °C with specified limits on capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current after the test.
• Mechanical and mounting — Radial-lead can, case size φ10 × 30.5 mm, lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole mounting.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction.
• Packaging options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.
• Frequency ripple coefficient — Series frequency coefficients for rated ripple current are provided (50 Hz: 0.80, 120 Hz: 1.00, 300 Hz: 1.25, 1 kHz: 1.40, ≥10 kHz: 1.60), useful for scaling ripple limits by operating frequency.

Typical Applications

• Ballast circuits — Suited for ballast applications that require compact capacitors with high ripple endurance and long life.
• Power supply filtering — Use in general-purpose AC/DC and DC/DC converter output or smoothing stages where 220 V ratings and defined ripple handling are needed.
• High-ripple industrial circuits — Applicable where sustained ripple current at varying frequencies must be supported while maintaining capacitance stability over life.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 290 mA (120 Hz) and 464 mA (10 kHz) help manage AC stress in power circuits without oversizing the capacitor.
• Defined loss and leakage specs: tanδ = 0.12 (120 Hz, 20 °C) and specified leakage current provide predictable performance for tight analog and power designs.
• Long-term endurance: 5000 hours at 105 °C specified endurance supports reliability targets for extended duty applications.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 30.5 mm can and 5.0 mm lead spacing deliver a small through-hole solution for space-constrained assemblies.
• RoHS-compliant: Environmentally compliant construction suitable for a wide range of procurement requirements.
