UPTW6101MHD

The UPTW6101MHD from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPT series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can designed for general-purpose, high-voltage applications with a rated capacitance of 100 µF and rated voltage of 420 V.

Engineered for high ripple environments and long operational life, this part delivers specified performance across a wide temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and is specified for 5,000 hours of endurance at 105°C. Its compact φ18 × 35.5 mm can, 7.5 mm lead spacing and mass-production availability make it suitable for volume designs that require durable high-voltage capacitance.

Key Features

• Electrical rating: 100 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 420 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High ripple current capability: Specified low-frequency ripple current of 610 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 976 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple and switching-related stresses.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Rated for 5,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits on capacitance change, dissipation factor, and leakage current after the test.
• Thermal and stability characteristics: Operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C; dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage current spec: Leakage current measured at 20°C after 2 minutes is 2,530 µA for this part.
• Mechanical/package details: Radial-lead aluminum can, size φ18 × 35.5 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance and availability: RoHS compliant and listed as in mass production for production-level sourcing.

Typical Applications

• Ballast circuits: Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current handling is required.
• High-voltage general-purpose circuits: Provides DC smoothing and energy storage in circuits up to 420 V where compact, polarized electrolytic capacitance is needed.
• High-temperature, long-life equipment: Useful in equipment that requires sustained operation at elevated temperatures, supported by the 5,000-hour endurance rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Explicit ripple current ratings at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies support designs exposed to AC ripple and switching noise.
• Proven long-life specification: 5,000 hours endurance at 105°C gives designers a measurable reliability baseline for lifetime and maintenance planning.
• Compact radial can: φ18 × 35.5 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing balances board-space efficiency with through-hole mounting robustness.
• Clear electrical characterization: Specified tan δ (0.20 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current provide designers with verifiable parameters for thermal and leakage budgeting.
• Production-ready supply: RoHS compliant and in mass production for predictable sourcing at scale.
