UPA0J272MPD

The UPA0J272MPD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series, engineered for miniature, low‑impedance bulk capacitance in switching power supplies and general‑purpose DC power circuits. It delivers 2.7 mF of capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact radial can package (L: 2.5 × D: 1 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding ripple and thermal environments, this part combines low impedance (66 mΩ), rated ripple handling at both low and high frequencies, and long operating life at elevated temperature for reliable performance in power conversion and energy‑storage roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF capacitance rated at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in low‑voltage DC systems.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 66 mΩ to reduce AC voltage drop and improve transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Ripple current ratings of 1.428 A at 120 Hz and 1.68 A at 10 kHz support switching and high‑frequency converter environments.
• Radial Can Package — Radial lead mounting and a compact can (L: 2.5 × D: 1 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole PCB layouts.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating range from –55°C to +105°C for extended environmental compatibility.
• Long Endurance — Rated lifetime of 4000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained performance under elevated temperature and ripple stress.
• Polarized — Designed for DC applications requiring polarized electrolytic capacitance.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after 1 minute at 20°C; tan δ (max.) 0.22 at 6.3 V, 120 Hz, 20°C.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple capability make the UPA0J272MPD suitable for output smoothing and decoupling in switch‑mode power supplies.
• DC‑DC Converters — Compact bulk capacitance and high ripple current support hold‑up and transient demands in board‑level converters.
• Embedded Power Circuits — Small radial can and 5 mm lead spacing enable easy integration into through‑hole and mixed‑technology PCBs for general‑purpose DC power filtering.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Bulk Energy Storage: 2.7 mF in a small radial can (L: 2.5 × D: 1 cm) reduces board space dedicated to bulk capacitance.
• Improved Power‑Rail Stability: 66 mΩ impedance helps lower AC voltage drops and improves transient performance on low‑voltage rails.
• Frequency‑Versatile Ripple Handling: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz accommodates low‑frequency and high‑frequency converter environments.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: 4000 hours rated life at 105°C provides predictable long‑term behavior under thermal and electrical stress.
• Wide Operating Range: –55°C to +105°C operation enables use across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in assemblies targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
