UPT2P820MHD

The UPT2P820MHD is a Nichicon UPT series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating in a compact, miniature footprint for general-purpose electronics.

Designed for applications that demand high ripple current and long operational life, this polarized radial-lead capacitor is well suited for ballast applications and other general-purpose circuits where stability and endurance at elevated temperatures are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance — 82 µF with ±20% tolerance measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage rating — Rated for 220 V DC operation.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current of 390 mA at 120 Hz (105°C) and 624 mA at 10 kHz, enabling robust handling of AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Long endurance — Designed for 5000 hours of operation at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after test.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C.
• Low leakage current specification — Leakage current upper limit defined as I ≤ 0.06CV + 10 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C (where C is µF and V is rated voltage).
• Loss angle (tan δ) — Maximum tan δ of 0.12 at 120 Hz, 20°C for the 220 V rating.
• Compact radial-can package — Radial lead mounting with 5.0 mm lead spacing and case dimensions approximately 12.5 mm diameter × 30.5 mm length; lead diameter follows series lead sizing rules for this case/length combination.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts — Suited for ballast application where high ripple current capability and long life at elevated temperature are required.
• General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling in a compact radial-can form for a variety of general-purpose designs.
• Power modules and assemblies — Useful where a polarized, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is needed in a small footprint with reliable long-term endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz demonstrate capability across low and high frequency ripple environments.
• Long-life rating: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports designs that require extended operational lifetime.
• Compact footprint: Small case diameter and short length allow placement in space-constrained assemblies without sacrificing voltage or ripple performance.
• Wide temperature range: −40°C to +105°C operation accommodates varied ambient conditions.
• Measured reliability parameters: Defined limits for leakage current, tan δ, and endurance make it straightforward to qualify in production designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status ensures alignment with environmental regulatory requirements.
