UPA1C562MHD

The UPA1C562MHD is a radial-lead, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series, offering a high-capacitance 5.6 mF value in a compact φ16×30.5 mm can. Engineered for power applications, it delivers low impedance and robust ripple-current handling for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering in industrial and embedded systems.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Voltage: 5600 μF at a rated voltage of 16 V, providing substantial energy storage for smoothing, decoupling, and hold-up functions.
• Low Impedance: Rated impedance of 35 mOhm, improving transient response and reducing voltage ripple under load.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Supports 2.389 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.81 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling reliable operation under heavy AC ripple conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance: Specified for −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated life of 5000 hours at 105 °C, suited for demanding thermal environments.
• Radial Lead Package: φ16×30.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk/no terminal forming or bag packing for flexible assembly processes.
• Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz is 0.24 for this part, allowing engineers to account for dissipation in thermal and AC performance calculations.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple current capability reduce voltage ripple and improve regulation.
• DC-DC Converters: Input/output decoupling to stabilize converter operation and handle transient currents from load steps.
• Industrial Power Electronics: Energy storage and filtering in control systems and power modules that operate across a wide temperature range.
• Embedded and General-Purpose Electronics: Power rail stabilization and hold-up in compact designs requiring high capacitance in a small radial-can package.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Energy Density: 5600 μF in a φ16 can concentrates capacitance for designs constrained by board area.
• Improved Ripple Handling: Combined low impedance (35 mOhm) and multi-kilohertz ripple current ratings reduce heating and improve long-term reliability under AC stress.
• Durable across Temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C operating range and a 5000-hour endurance rating at 105 °C support demanding thermal environments and longer service life.
• Design-Friendly Packaging: Radial leads with 7.5 mm spacing simplify through-hole assembly and prototyping; available bag or bulk packaging options ease procurement and production planning.
• Measured Dissipation Data: Known tan δ (0.24 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current allow predictable thermal and standby current budgeting in power designs.
