Overview of UTH2W121MND – 120 µF, 450 V Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UTH2W121MND is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UTH series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor with a rated capacitance of 120 µF and a rated voltage of 450 V.
Designed for general-purpose electronic equipment that requires high-voltage handling in a compact package, the UTH2W121MND combines long-life endurance and defined ripple and leakage characteristics for dependable performance in demanding operating conditions.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High Rated Voltage — Rated for 450 V to support high-voltage circuit requirements.
- Low Loss (tan δ) — tan δ (DF) of 0.20 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing predictable AC loss performance.
- Ripple Current Specs — Low-frequency ripple current of 810 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.296 A at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for other frequencies.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2260 µA at the stated measurement condition.
- Long Endurance — Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ increase, and leakage current after the endurance test.
- Operating Temperature Range — Specified for -40°C to +105°C operation.
- Compact Radial Package — φ16 × 36 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies. Available in bulk or bag packing.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic equipment — Suited for general-purpose assemblies where a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is required.
- High-voltage circuit modules — Applicable where 450 V rating is needed in a miniature radial-lead form factor.
- Long-life, elevated-temperature environments — Designed for applications requiring defined endurance at up to 105°C for extended periods.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 450 V rating enables use in circuits requiring substantial DC voltage handling.
- Defined long-term reliability: 5000 h endurance at 105°C with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current supports predictable lifespan planning.
- Compact footprint: φ16 × 36 mm can minimizes board area while retaining high-voltage performance.
- Clear AC performance specs: Specified tan δ and ripple current values (both low and high frequency) simplify thermal and ripple budgeting in designs.
- Radial-lead convenience: Through-hole radial leads with 7.5 mm spacing simplify manual assembly and wave solder processes for board-level implementations.
- Production-ready packaging: Available in bulk (no lead forming) or bag packing to accommodate different assembly workflows.
