UPV1H6R8MFD

The UPV1H6R8MFD is a miniature radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 6.8 µF nominal capacitance at a 50 V rating. It is part of Nichicon’s UPV series, a low-impedance, high-reliability family designed for compact, general-purpose electronic applications.

Key value propositions include a small radial can package with a 2 mm lead spacing, a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to 105 °C, and a proven endurance of 5000 hours at 105 °C for reliable performance in sustained elevated-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 6.8 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 50 V rated voltage for general-purpose circuit energy storage and smoothing functions.
• Low-Impedance Design Part of the UPV low-impedance series, providing improved ripple handling relative to standard electrolytics in this form factor.
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 44.59 mA at 120 Hz and 91 mA at 200 kHz to support AC ripple and high-frequency decoupling within its ratings.
• Compact Radial Package Radial lead, can-style package with 2 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance Operating range from -55 °C to 105 °C and qualified for 5000 hours of load life at 105 °C for long-term stability under thermal stress.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant to the 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 directives.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics Suited for compact, through-hole assemblies requiring polarized capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in general circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering 50 V rating and low-impedance construction help manage ripple and provide local bulk capacitance on low to mid-voltage rails.
• High-Temperature Environments With a 5000 hour load life at 105 °C and -55 °C to 105 °C operating range, it is appropriate where long-term elevated-temperature stability is required.

Unique Advantages

• Long High-Temperature Endurance: 5000 hours rated load life at 105 °C supports reliable operation in sustained elevated-temperature conditions.
• Miniature Footprint: Physical size of 1.1 × 0.5 cm and 2 mm lead spacing enable compact board layouts and efficient density in through-hole designs.
• Defined Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and AC stress design considerations.
• Polarized, Through-Hole Form: Radial lead can package offers robust mechanical mounting for assemblies subject to handling or vibration.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements for restricted substances.

Why Choose UPV1H6R8MFD?

The UPV1H6R8MFD combines a compact radial can package with low-impedance characteristics and defined ripple ratings, making it a practical choice for engineers needing reliable polarized capacitance in space-limited, through-hole designs.
