UPA1C102MPD

The UPA1C102MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, optimized for power filtering and decoupling in compact designs. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low impedance and elevated ripple-current capability for demanding power-supply environments.

Designed for general-purpose and switching power-supply applications, the UPA1C102MPD combines a compact φ10 × 16 mm case, wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C) and a 4000-hour endurance at 105 °C to support robust, long-lived designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 98 mΩ, reducing voltage ripple under load and improving transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 930 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.24 A at 10 kHz to support switching and DC‑DC converter duties.
• Electrical Loss — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (for the 16 V rating).
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 4000 hours at 105 °C under rated DC bias plus ripple current, with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and easy placement in dense assemblies.
• Polarized, RoHS Compliant — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic construction and compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and elevated ripple capability improve regulation and reduce heat.
• DC‑DC Converters — Input and output decoupling in compact converters requiring high ripple current handling in a small footprint.
• General Power Filtering — Smoothing and energy storage for general-purpose electronic equipment operating across −55 °C to 105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling in a small can — Combines 930 mA (120 Hz) and 1.24 A (10 kHz) ripple ratings with a φ10 × 16 mm case to save board space without sacrificing performance.
• Low series impedance — 98 mΩ impedance supports tighter voltage regulation and lower ripple on power rails.
• Extended operating temperature and endurance — −55 °C to 105 °C range and 4000-hour life at 105 °C support reliable operation in thermally challenging environments.
• Flat loss characteristics at operating frequency — tan δ of 0.16 (16 V, 120 Hz, 20 °C) provides predictable dissipation for thermal design.
• Through-hole robustness — Radial lead mounting with defined 5 mm lead spacing simplifies mechanical retention and assembly for wave-solder or manual insertion processes.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory compliance.
