UPZW6560MHD

The UPZW6560MHD is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPZ series. It is a radial‑lead, polarized capacitor specified at 56 µF and 420 V, designed for general‑purpose use where a compact high‑voltage capacitor is required.

Key engineering attributes include a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C, a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105 °C, and measured ripple current and leakage characteristics useful for power‑supply and high‑voltage circuit design considerations.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Nominal capacitance of 56 µF with a rated voltage of 420 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• High‑Reliability Lifecycle — Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current with defined post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C, supporting elevated‑temperature applications within that range.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current of 430 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 645 mA (10 kHz) for handling AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Electrical Losses & Leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified at 0.20 (20 °C, 120 Hz) and a leakage current figure of 1040.8 µA for predictable bias behavior.
• Form Factor & Mounting — Radial lead, can‑type package with dimensions φ12.5 × 40 mm and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Production Status — Part is in mass production, facilitating predictable availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose — Intended for general‑purpose electronic applications that require a compact, high‑voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
• High‑Voltage, Miniature Designs — Suited where a 420 V rated, miniature capacitor footprint is needed and space constraints are a consideration.
• Through‑Hole Assemblies — Radial lead format and standard 5 mm lead spacing support through‑hole PCB mounting and straightforward assembly or repair.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage in a compact package: 420 V rating with a φ12.5 × 40 mm can provides high‑voltage capability while minimizing board area.
• Defined endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105 °C establishes predictable long‑term behavior under thermal stress.
• Frequency‑aware ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz give designers measurable performance across low and high frequencies.
• Transparent electrical parameters: Published tan δ and leakage current values allow engineers to size margins and predict bias losses accurately.
• Practical mounting and packaging: Standard radial lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options simplify integration into through‑hole assemblies and production workflows.
• Production availability: Mass production status supports procurement and supply‑chain planning for volume programs.
