UPZ2G101MHD

The UPZ2G101MHD from Nichicon is a radial‑lead, high‑voltage miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPZ series. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with a compact φ16 × 30.5 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing, designed for general‑purpose high‑voltage applications that require reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling in a small package.

Key value comes from its high working voltage, defined ripple current capability at low and high frequencies, and an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C—attributes aimed at designs where voltage margin, thermal endurance and compact packaging are important.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage, suitable for high‑voltage bulk capacitance needs.
• Loss and Tolerance — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current Performance — Low frequency ripple current 580 mA (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 870 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective ripple handling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1700 µA (measured at 20°C after 1 minute), providing predictable bias behavior for design margin calculations.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can package, dimensions φ16 × 30.5 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm, available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C for wide ambient conditions.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power electronics — Provides high‑voltage bulk capacitance and ripple filtering where 400 V DC ratings are required.
• Industrial equipment — Compact high‑voltage energy storage and smoothing in equipment that operates across a wide temperature range (−40°C to +105°C).
• Power conversion circuits — Supports DC bus smoothing and ripple management in converters and inverters that demand both high voltage rating and defined ripple tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage in a small footprint: 400 V rating combined with a φ16 × 30.5 mm body lets designers retain capacitance without large board real estate.
• Tuned ripple capability: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current specs (580 mA at low frequency, 870 mA at high frequency) help match capacitor selection to expected ripple spectra.
• Thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports long‑term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Predictable electrical parameters: Specified tan δ and leakage current values (0.15 and 1700 µA respectively) enable accurate performance budgeting in designs.
• Standard radial lead form factor: Simple through‑hole mounting and 7.5 mm lead spacing ease PCB layout and assembly for prototyping and production.
