UPZ2W101MHD

The UPZ2W101MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPZ series designed for high-voltage, miniature-sized applications. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 450 V with a polarized radial can package (φ18 × 35.5 mm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Intended for general-purpose electronic designs, the capacitor combines high rated voltage, a wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C) and defined endurance (2000 hours at 105 °C) to meet demanding power and high-voltage circuit requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz and 20 °C, providing predictable bulk capacitance for design calculations.
• High Rated Voltage — 450 V working voltage suitable for high-voltage circuits within the UPZ series’ rated range.
• Radial Lead Package — Polarized radial-lead, can-style package (φ18 × 35.5 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Temperature and Endurance — Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified low-frequency ripple current of 650 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 975 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple handling across common frequencies.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 1900 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.2 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for predictable loss and self-heating behavior.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly and handling.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic designs — Provides bulk capacitance and high-voltage rating for circuits classified as general purpose within the UPZ series scope.
• High-voltage, compact power modules — Miniature-sized radial can and 450 V rating suit compact high-voltage power circuitry where board space is limited.
• Power ripple management — Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support use where AC ripple filtering and smoothing are required.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in elevated DC bus and high-voltage designs within the product’s rated limits.
• Compact, through-hole form factor: φ18 × 35.5 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a space-efficient through-hole option for PCB layouts.
• Defined high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions provides predictable aging and life-cycle planning for thermal-stressed applications.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling: Separate ripple current specifications for 120 Hz and 10 kHz support engineers addressing both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Clear loss and leakage specs: tan δ = 0.2 and leakage current = 1900 µA (specified) help quantify dissipation and standby current in power budgets.
• Flexible packing: Bulk or bag packing options simplify procurement for prototype runs or medium-volume assembly.
