UPZ2G121MHD6

The UPZ2G121MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPZ series, offering 120 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating. It is engineered for high-voltage, miniature-sized, general-purpose applications that require a compact through-hole electrolytic solution.

Key value comes from its combination of high-voltage capability, compact φ18 × 30.5 mm can, defined ripple-current performance across low and high frequencies, and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C — providing predictable behavior in demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — Rated capacitance 120 µF at 400 V with tolerance -20% to 20%; tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz and rated voltage.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 670 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.005 A at 10 kHz, giving defined performance across the frequency spectrum.
• Leakage and Loss — Specified leakage current of 2020 µA (measured per product conditions) and controlled tanδ to support stable electrical behavior.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating temperature range -40°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions.
• Mechanical Package — Compact radial can package: φ18 × 30.5 mm with lead spacing 7.5 mm (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB assembly.
• Polarized, Through-Hole Mounting — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable for standard radial-lead PCB layouts.
• Packaging & Availability — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Suited to general-purpose circuits that require a 400 V, 120 µF polarized radial-lead capacitor.
• High‑Voltage Miniature Designs — Intended for designs where high voltage rating and a compact footprint (φ18 × 30.5 mm) are required.
• Through‑Hole PCB Assemblies — Designed for conventional radial-lead through-hole mounting and assembly flows.

Unique Advantages

• 400 V Rated Voltage: Enables use in higher-voltage circuits while maintaining a compact can size.
• Compact Footprint: φ18 × 30.5 mm case provides a miniature high-voltage solution for space-constrained PCBs.
• Defined Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz (670 mA) and 10 kHz (1.005 A) allow designers to size devices for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• High-Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C endurance rating supports reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Controlled Loss and Leakage: tanδ = 0.15 (20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current (2020 µA) give predictable electrical loss and leakage behavior for system-level design.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing and listed as mass production, simplifying procurement and assembly planning.
