Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1800 μF rated capacitance at 10 V provides bulk energy storage for decoupling and filtering in low‑voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance UPJ Series — Part of Nichicon’s UPJ family optimized for low impedance, making it suitable for switching power supply output and input filtering.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 1.143 A at 120 Hz and 1.27 A at 200 kHz supports sustained AC ripple in power circuits.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C (series specification), supporting reliable operation under high temperature stress.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −55°C to +105°C for use across a broad environmental range.
• Electrical Loss (tan δ) — Loss tangent (DF) specified at 0.19 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for this rated voltage, aiding prediction of dissipation in design.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 540 μA, helping to define standby and bias characteristics.
• Compact Radial Package — φ16 × 15 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead construction for through‑hole mounting in compact assemblies. Available packaged in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free manufacturing environments.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple current capability make this capacitor well suited for input/output filtering and smoothing in switching regulators.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — 1800 μF capacitance at 10 V supports bulk decoupling and transient suppression on low‑voltage power rails.
• Space‑Constrained Power Modules — Compact φ16 × 15 mm can and radial lead form factor fit tightly packaged power circuitry where board space is limited.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for Low Impedance — UPJ series construction provides lower impedance characteristics to improve ripple handling and voltage stability in power circuits.
• Proven High‑Temperature Endurance — 5000‑hour rating at +105°C offers predictable longevity for sustained high‑temperature operation.
