UPA1C332MHD

The UPA1C332MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 3.3 mF (3300 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is part of Nichicon’s UPA series of miniature, low-impedance, high-reliability capacitors designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power electronics.

With a compact φ12.5 × 30.5 mm can, 5 mm lead spacing, low impedance and high ripple-current capability, this capacitor is intended where bulk capacitance, ripple handling and elevated-temperature endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 3.3 mF capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and measured impedance of 36 mΩ for low-loss filtering.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.312 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.72 A at 10 kHz for robust AC stress handling.
• Leakage and Loss — Specified leakage current of 1584 µA and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under endurance conditions defined for the series, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for applications with broad temperature demands.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ12.5 mm diameter × 30.5 mm length) with 5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified for the UPA series.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Designed for use in switching power supply outputs and input filtering, providing bulk capacitance and low impedance for stable regulation.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Suitable for smoothing and decoupling on 16 V circuits where high capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• High-Temperature Electronics — Use in systems that must operate reliably across −55°C to +105°C and under long-duration thermal stress (endurance rated to 5000 h at 105°C).

Unique Advantages

• Compact, High-Capacitance Form Factor: 3.3 mF in a φ12.5 × 30.5 mm can provides substantial bulk capacitance while keeping PCB space and profile minimized.
• Low-impedance Design: 36 mΩ impedance reduces ripple voltage and power loss, improving efficiency in power-conditioning applications.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.312 A (120 Hz) and 2.72 A (10 kHz) allow effective AC stress management across common power frequencies.
• Extended High-Temperature Endurance: 5000-hour rating at 105°C supports longevity in thermally demanding environments and improves system reliability.
• Radial-Lead Convenience: Through-hole radial leads with 5 mm spacing simplify prototyping, repair, and mechanical robustness in vertical mounting applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with lead-restriction requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
