UPZ2D271MHD

The UPZ2D271MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPZ series, designed for high-voltage, miniature-sized applications. It delivers 270 µF at a 200 V rating in a compact φ16 × 30.5 mm can, offering a balance of capacitance, ripple handling and thermal endurance for general-purpose electronic designs.

Engineered for through-hole assemblies, this part targets general-purpose power applications where robust ripple current capability, a wide operating temperature range and proven endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating – 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 200 V rated voltage with tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Low Loss Performance – tanδ 0.12 maximum measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy handling in AC ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Capability – Rated ripple current 870 mA at 105°C/120 Hz and specified high-frequency ripple capability of 1.218 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under varying frequency conditions.
• Leakage Current – Specified leakage current of 2260 µA (measured after 1 minute at 20°C), consistent with the UPZ series characteristics and sizing.
• Thermal and Endurance – Operates from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Package and Mounting – Radial lead, can-style package (φ16 × 30.5 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options, suitable for through-hole assembly and manual or automated insertion processes.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering – Smoothing and decoupling on high-voltage rails in general-purpose power supplies and converters.
• Power Conversion – Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in DC–DC converters and intermediate bus applications.
• Industrial Electronics – General-purpose power conditioning in control and automation equipment requiring high-voltage, compact capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage in a compact package: 200 V rating in a φ16 × 30.5 mm can lets you maintain capacitance without increasing board footprint.
• Measured low-loss behavior: tanδ 0.12 at 120 Hz/20°C supports efficient AC ripple handling and predictable ESR-related performance.
• Designed for ripple stress: Rated ripple current of 870 mA (120 Hz) and 1.218 A (10 kHz) provides margin for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Extended thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides a defined reliability baseline for thermal stress environments.
• Through-hole convenience: Radial-lead form factor with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies mounting for prototyping and legacy PCB designs.
• Flexible packaging: Available in bulk/no terminal forming and bag packing for volume assembly or manual handling workflows.
