UPJ1A682MHD6

The UPJ1A682MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications and is noted in the UPJ series for low impedance and suitability for switching power supplies.

This part delivers 6800 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating with a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C and a rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, making it appropriate for demanding power-filtering and bulk-energy-storage roles in electronics designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 6800 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20% for robust bulk storage.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of the UPJ series characterized as low impedance, supporting switching power supply applications and efficient ripple handling.
• Measured Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ of 0.29 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 10 V, providing clear specification for AC-loss considerations in design.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.052 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.28 A at 200 kHz to support high-dynamic power rails.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C for extended reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Mechanical and Mounting — Radial lead mounting with a can size of φ18 × 30.5 mm (length) and lead spacing of 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk/bag packaging for through-hole assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2040 µA for predictable hold-up and bias behavior.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and specified ripple current make this capacitor suitable for output filtering and bulk smoothing in switch-mode power supplies.
• General Purpose Power Electronics — High capacitance and 10 V rating support bulk energy storage and decoupling in a wide range of consumer and industrial circuits.
• High Ripple Environments — With defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, this part is appropriate where dynamic current handling is required.

Unique Advantages

• Large Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can — 6800 µF in a φ18 × 30.5 mm package provides substantial energy storage while keeping board footprint manageable.
• Specified Ripple Performance — Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz let designers quantify thermal and lifetime impact under expected operating conditions.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 5000 hours at 105°C provides a measured lifetime metric for designs that operate in hot environments.
• Clear Electrical Loss Characterization — Published tanδ (0.29 at 20°C, 120 Hz, 10 V) and leakage current figures enable accurate AC-loss and leakage budgeting in power designs.
• Radial Lead Through-Hole Packaging — Traditional leaded can construction simplifies prototyping, hand assembly, and replacement in existing through-hole assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant and Mass Production Status — Environmentally compliant and available in mass production for predictable sourcing.
