Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity.

UPT2G560MHD remains the baseline specification for applications with standard voltage margins and standard operational lifespans.

UCYW6560MHD provides a 20 V voltage margin increase (420 V vs. 400 V) and doubles the operational lifetime to 12000 hours at 105°C. This part extends the lower operating temperature limit to -40°C and increases ripple current handling capacity to 570 mA at 120 Hz. REACH status is affected for this part.

450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 offers the highest voltage rating at 450 V (50 V margin above the original specification) with equivalent 12000-hour lifetime at 105°C. This Rubycon part maintains REACH unaffected status and provides 540 mA ripple current at 120 Hz. Physical height is 1.654" (42.00 mm), a 0.020" increase from the original, which must be verified for clearance in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCYW6560MHD and 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 be used interchangeably with UPT2G560MHD?

A: Yes, both parts are direct substitutes. They maintain identical capacitance (56 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and diameter (12.50 mm). All three are through-hole radial cans with ROHS3 compliance. The 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 has a maximum height of 1.654" compared to 1.634" for the original; verify clearance in your PCB layout.

Q: What is the primary advantage of upgrading to UCYW6560MHD?

A: The UCYW6560MHD provides a 20 V higher voltage rating (420 V vs. 400 V) and doubles the operational lifetime from 5000 to 12000 hours at 105°C. It also extends the lower operating temperature to -40°C and increases ripple current capacity to 570 mA at 120 Hz.

Q: What is the primary advantage of upgrading to 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40?

A: The 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 provides the highest voltage rating at 450 V, offering a 50 V safety margin above the original 400 V specification. It matches the 12000-hour lifetime of the UCYW6560MHD and maintains REACH unaffected status.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences I should consider?

A: The 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 has a maximum seated height of 1.654" (42.00 mm) versus 1.634" (41.50 mm) for both the UPT2G560MHD and UCYW6560MHD. This 0.020" difference must be verified against your PCB clearance requirements. Lead spacing and diameter remain identical across all three parts.

Q: Do all three parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status. The UCYW6560MHD is REACH affected, while the UPT2G560MHD and 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 are REACH unaffected. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your application.

Q: What ripple current specifications should I consider?

A: The UPT2G560MHD handles 420 mA at 120 Hz. The UCYW6560MHD increases this to 570 mA at 120 Hz and supports 1.14 A at 100 kHz. The 450BXW56MEFR12.5X40 provides 540 mA at 120 Hz and 1.35 A at 100 kHz. Select based on your circuit's ripple current demands at the relevant frequency.
