UPA0J102MPD6

The UPA0J102MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series, designed for miniature, low-impedance capacitance in power-electronic applications. It provides 1000 µF at 6.3 V in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing, making it suitable for space-conscious power designs.

Targeted use cases include switching power supplies and general-purpose power electronics where high ripple handling, long endurance at elevated temperatures, and low impedance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance rated at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and power-rail smoothing in low-voltage systems.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 126 mΩ supports efficient decoupling and reduced voltage ripple in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 675 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 900 mA (100 kHz) to handle both line-frequency and switching-frequency ripple.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ (DF) of 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for thermal and lifetime planning.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55°C to 105°C with a rated endurance of 4000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Physical & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can (φ10 × 12.5L) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly and ease of placement.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 189 µA for initial leakage consideration in low-current designs.
• Packaging & Status — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing; part is in mass production. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering to reduce ripple and stabilize DC rails in compact switch-mode power supplies.
• DC/DC Converters — Energy storage and decoupling at input and output stages where space and ripple handling are constrained.
• General Power Electronics — Smoothing and transient suppression on board-level power rails in consumer and industrial electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, space-saving package — φ10 × 12.5 mm can delivers 1000 µF in a small footprint for tight board layouts.
• High ripple capability across frequencies — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (675 mA and 900 mA) support mixed-frequency power environments.
• Predictable loss and dissipation — tanδ of 0.22 at 20°C/120 Hz enables engineering of thermal margins and ESR-related losses.
• Wide operating temperature and proven endurance — −55°C to 105°C range and 4000 hours at 105°C help ensure long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Production-ready packaging — Bulk and bag packing options support prototype through volume production planning.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction aligns with environmental requirements.
