UPJ1A822MHD6

The UPJ1A822MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series designed as a low-impedance radial-lead solution for power applications. It delivers high capacitance (8.2 mF) at a 10 V rating and is intended for general-purpose use, including switching power supplies and power-rail smoothing where high ripple handling and long-term reliability are needed.

Built for sustained operation up to 105°C with a 5000 hour rated life, this part brings a combination of high ripple-current capability, wide operating temperature range, and compact radial-can packaging (φ18 × 35.5 mm) for through-hole designs.

Key Features

• High Capacitance & Voltage: 8.2 mF (8200 µF) at a 10 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk energy storage and decoupling on low-voltage rails.
• Low-Impedance Design: UPJ series specification states low impedance tailored for switching power supplies, improving ripple attenuation and transient performance.
• High Ripple Current Handling: 2.178 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.42 A at 200 kHz (high frequency) to withstand switching currents common in DC–DC and SMPS designs.
• Long Endurance: 5000 hours rated life at 105°C under specified load conditions, providing longevity in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C supports a broad set of industrial and general-purpose ambient conditions.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Size φ18 × 35.5 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and radial lead mounting for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Electrical Characteristics: ±20% capacitance tolerance and specified tan δ of 0.33 (20°C, 120 Hz); leakage current listed as 2460 µA.
• Compliance & Availability: RoHS compliant and in mass production; packaged bulk/no terminal forming or bag packing for procurement flexibility.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Low-impedance profile and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for input/output filtering and energy buffering in SMPS designs.
• DC–DC Converters: Bulk decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage rails where 8.2 mF at 10 V improves transient response and reduces ripple.
• Power-Rail Filtering for Industrial and Consumer Electronics: Through-hole radial package provides a compact solution for board-level power conditioning and long-term operation at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Energy Density at Low Voltage: 8.2 mF in a φ18 × 35.5 mm can provides substantial capacitance for hold-up and smoothing without excessive board area.
• Designed for Switching Environments: Low impedance and rated ripple current values address the demands of switching supplies and high-frequency power conversion.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours at 105°C under load gives predictable long-term performance in heated enclosures and industrial applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C supports reliable operation across diverse ambient conditions and deployment environments.
• Procurement-Ready Packaging: Bulk or bag packing options and mass-production status simplify sourcing and assembly planning.
