UPA1C821MPD6

The UPA1C821MPD6 is a radial lead, aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for miniature, low-impedance power applications. It belongs to Nichicon's UPA series, optimized for switching power supplies and general-purpose electronic equipment.

With an 820 µF capacitance at 16 V and a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C, this polarized can offers high ripple-current capability and long-term endurance for demanding power-filtering and smoothing roles.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 820 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with tolerance of −20% to +20% and a rated impedance of 98 mΩ.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles 930 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.24 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), with frequency coefficients defined by the UPA series.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 393.6 µA as supplied for the part.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated lifetime of 4000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (polarized) aluminum can, size φ10 × 16 mm, lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple-current handling make the UPA1C821MPD6 suitable for output filtering and smoothing in switch-mode converters.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Useful for bulk capacitance and decoupling on DC rails in a wide range of electronic equipment.
• Through-Hole/Board-Level Designs — Radial lead package and compact φ10 × 16 mm footprint for easy placement in through-hole assemblies.
