UPA1A822MHD6

The UPA1A822MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series designed for low-impedance, high-reliability power applications. It delivers 8.2 mF (8200 µF) at a 10 V rating in a compact φ18 × 25 mm can.

Targeted use includes switching power supplies and general-purpose low‑voltage power filtering where high ripple handling, long operating life, and a wide temperature range are required. Key value comes from low impedance, elevated ripple-current capability, and 5000 hours endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage – 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage, with a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance – Rated impedance of 36 mΩ supports low-loss energy storage and fast transient support in power rails.
• High Ripple Current Capability – Low-frequency ripple current of 2.422 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.85 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under varying switching conditions.
• Operating Temperature Range – Rated for −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental use.
• Long Endurance – 5000 hours life at 105°C when subjected to DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting extended service in continuous‑duty power systems.
• Leakage and Loss – Leakage current listed at 2460 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.19 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; useful for predicting dissipation and standby drain.
• Compact Radial Package – φ18 × 25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant – Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead‑free compliance.
• Packaging Options – Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies – Bulk energy storage and output filtering to handle ripple from converters and provide stable low-voltage rails.
• Low‑Voltage Power Filtering – Smoothing and decoupling in 10 V-class systems where high ripple current and low impedance improve transient response.
• Industrial Power Modules – General-purpose filtering and energy buffering in industrial power assemblies operating across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: The specified 2.422 A (120 Hz) and 2.85 A (10 kHz) ripple ratings reduce heating and extend system reliability under switching conditions.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 36 mΩ impedance lowers losses and improves voltage stability during load transients.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports continuous operation in demanding environments.
• Wide temperature range: −55°C to +105°C rating enables deployment across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact radial can: φ18 × 25 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient solution for through‑hole designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into lead‑free product lines.
