UPA1C102MPD3

The UPA1C102MPD3 is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series. It is a polarized, high‑reliability component designed for use in switching power supplies and general‑purpose power filtering where low impedance and compact size are required.

With a rated capacitance of 1000 µF at 16 V, low impedance (70 mΩ), and robust ripple current capability, this radial can (φ10×20 mm) delivers stable performance across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C) and a rated endurance of 4000 hours at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 1000 µF capacitance at 16 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20%, polarization suited for DC smoothing and bulk decoupling.
• Low impedance & ripple handling — Rated impedance of 70 mΩ and low‑frequency ripple current of 1.117 A (120 Hz); high‑frequency ripple current rated at 1.49 A (10 kHz), supporting demanding power‑supply ripple conditions.
• Loss characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.16 at 20 °C, 120 Hz (16 V), for predictable AC loss behavior in filtering applications.
• Reliability & endurance — Designed for 4000 hours at 105 °C (φ10 case), with leakage current specified at 480 µA and stable end‑of‑life characteristics when used within rated conditions.
• Compact radial package — φ10 × 20 mm can with radial leads, lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for compact PCB layouts where through‑hole mounting is required.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for restricted substances.
• Packaging options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering in compact SMPS designs where high ripple current and low impedance are required.
• General-purpose power filtering — DC link, bulk decoupling, and reservoir capacitance in a wide range of electronic assemblies.
• Compact electronic assemblies — Space‑constrained boards that benefit from a miniature φ10×20 mm can and radial mounting for reliable through‑hole retention.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple current capability: Supports 1.117 A at 120 Hz and 1.49 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Low impedance for improved transient response: 70 mΩ impedance helps maintain voltage stability during load transients and switching events.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ10 × 20 mm radial can offers high capacitance density in a through‑hole package that’s easy to fit into legacy and new designs.
• Wide operating range and long life: −55 °C to 105 °C operating range and 4000 hours endurance at 105 °C support long‑term reliability in elevated temperature environments.
• Predictable electrical loss: tanδ = 0.16 (16 V, 120 Hz, 20 °C) for reliable AC loss planning in filter designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental qualification and procurement.
