UPA0J122MPD

The UPA0J122MPD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for compact power and filtering applications. It delivers a 1.2 mF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with a polarized radial‑lead package for through‑hole assembly.

Engineered for switching power supplies and general‑purpose power modules, the device combines low measured impedance and robust ripple‑current capability with a compact L × D footprint for space‑constrained PCB designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1.2 × 10⁻³ F) rated at 6.3 V for bulk decoupling and energy storage in low‑voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 126 mOhm, enabling efficient suppression of voltage ripple in switching supplies.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 765 mA at 120 Hz and 900 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency power stages.
• Compact Radial Lead Package — Radial, can style with 5 mm lead spacing and a compact footprint (L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm) for tight layouts and through‑hole mounting.
• Wide Temperature Range & Long Life — Operating range −55 °C to +105 °C with a lifetime rating of 4000 hours at 105 °C for stable performance under elevated temperature stress.
• Capacitance Tolerance & Polarization — Polarized capacitor with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable design margins.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Local bulk and output filtering in DC–DC converters where low impedance and high ripple handling improve regulation.
• Point‑of‑Load Power Modules — Energy storage and ripple suppression in compact power modules for industrial and consumer electronics.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and smoothing in embedded systems and control electronics that require through‑hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient footprint: Small can dimensions (L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm) help reduce board area in compact designs.
• Improved ripple performance: Low impedance (126 mOhm) combined with high ripple current ratings supports tighter voltage regulation under switching loads.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with a 4000‑hour life at 105 °C, providing predictable long‑term behavior in elevated temperatures.
• Through‑hole reliability: Radial lead can construction with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies mechanical retention and wave/manual assembly processes.
• Design predictability: Clear specifications for capacitance tolerance (±20%), impedance, and ripple current make it straightforward to model in power designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status reduces material compliance concerns for commercial product development.
