UPZW6101MHD6

The UPZW6101MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPZ series, offering a high-voltage, miniature-sized solution for general-purpose applications. It combines a 420 V rated voltage with 100 µF capacitance in a compact φ18 × 30.5 mm can designed for radial PCB mounting.

Designed for power-electronics use where high voltage, defined ripple handling and elevated-temperature endurance are required, this part delivers specified electrical parameters (tanδ, leakage, ripple current) and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C for predictable performance in production designs.

Key Features

• High-voltage rating: 420 V rated voltage paired with 100 µF capacitance for high-voltage DC applications.
• Compact radial package: φ18 × 30.5 mm can (L: 3.05 × D: 1.8 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial leads for through-hole PCB mounting.
• Temperature and endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under D.C. bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple current specification: Low-frequency ripple current 610 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 915 mA at 10 kHz (product-level values).
• Electrical characteristics: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C), tanδ 0.20 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), and leakage current 1780 µA (after one minute at 20°C with rated voltage).
• Frequency coefficient data: Series frequency coefficients apply (for 400–450 V parts): 0.80 @60 Hz, 1.00 @120 Hz, 1.25 @500 Hz, 1.40 @1 kHz, 1.50 @10 kHz or more—useful for ripple budgeting across frequency.
• Packaging options: Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible inventory and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power electronics: Suitable where a compact high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is needed for DC link, smoothing or bulk energy storage in general-purpose designs.
• Space-constrained high-voltage assemblies: The miniature φ18 × 30.5 mm can and radial form factor fit tight layouts that require 420 V-rated capacitance.
• Elevated-temperature environments: Applications that require operation up to 105°C benefit from the 2000-hour endurance rating at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability in a small footprint: 420 V rating with 100 µF capacitance in a φ18 mm can enables reduced board area for high-voltage designs.
• Measured ripple performance: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings and series frequency coefficients simplify ripple current calculations and thermal design.
• Thermal endurance for stable operation: 2000-hour life at 105°C provides a defined baseline for long-term performance planning in warm operating conditions.
• Complete electrical characterization: Specified tanδ, leakage current and capacitance tolerance allow accurate electrical and reliability modeling during design and validation.
• Standard radial lead format: 7.5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing support conventional through-hole assembly and inventory workflows.
