UPA0J822MHD6

The UPA0J822MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPA series, provided in a radial lead can. It offers high capacitance (8200 µF) at a low rated voltage (6.3 V) for general-purpose and switching power supply applications that require compact bulk energy storage and effective ripple filtering.

Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this radial-lead capacitor combines low impedance and high ripple current capability with long endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable for embedded and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• High capacitance in a compact package — 8200 µF capacitance in a φ18 × 20 mm can provides substantial bulk energy storage in a small footprint.
• Rated for low-voltage power rails — 6.3 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage DC power applications and post-regulator smoothing.
• Low impedance — 50 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple under load and improves transient response.
• High ripple current capability — 2.244 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.64 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle continuous ripple in switching supplies.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 5000 hours life rating at 105°C for reliability in high-temperature operating environments.
• Wide operating temperature range — −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• Measured dielectric loss (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.36 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC performance.
• Polarized, radial lead package — standard radial-lead can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and easy PCB placement.
• RoHS compliant and mass production status — meets RoHS requirements and is available in bulk or bag packing for production quantities.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — bulk smoothing and output-stage filtering where high ripple current capability and low impedance reduce output ripple and heat.
• Power Supply Filtering and Decoupling — bulk decoupling for low-voltage rails to support transient loads and maintain voltage stability.
• Industrial and Embedded Electronics — energy storage and filtering in control boards and embedded systems requiring long-term operation at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance solution: 8200 µF in a φ18 × 20 mm can minimizes board area while providing substantial energy storage.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents (2.244 A at 120 Hz, 2.64 A at 10 kHz) support continuous operation in switching environments, reducing lifetime stress on the capacitor.
• Low ESR/impedance: 50 mΩ impedance helps lower thermal dissipation and improves power rail stability under dynamic loads.
• Proven thermal endurance: 5000-hour rating at 105°C supports reliable performance in high-temperature applications.
• Precise leakage specification: Leakage current specified at 1549.8 µA (per 0.03CV formula) for predictable standby and no-load behavior.
• RoHS-compliant, production-ready: Mass production availability and standard packing options (bulk/bag) simplify procurement and assembly planning.
