UPJ1C101MED

The UPJ1C101MED is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the Nichicon UPJ series, offering 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial‑lead can package. It is part of a low‑impedance family designed for power applications and is suitable for general‑purpose use where a compact, through‑hole electrolytic capacitor is required.

Key attributes include a −55 °C to 105 °C operating range, defined endurance at elevated temperature, measurable ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance. Packaging options include bulk and bag formats to support prototyping and manual assembly workflows.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF capacitance rated at 16 V with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low Loss Characteristic — Specified tan δ of 0.16 (DF measurement condition 20 °C, 120 Hz) for controlled dissipation.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current 91 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 175 mA at 200 kHz.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 48 µA after rated voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C with a life/endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Compact Radial Package — Can package with dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm and lead spacing 2.5 mm (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm), optimized for through‑hole mounting.
• Packaging & Compliance — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing; RoHS‑compliant.
• Product Status — End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Part of the UPJ low‑impedance series, making it appropriate for filtering and decoupling in switching regulator circuits.
• General‑Purpose Power Circuits — Suitable where a 100 µF / 16 V polarized electrolytic is required for bulk capacitance or smoothing.
• Prototyping and Manual Assembly — Bulk and bag packing options support prototyping, repairs, and low‑volume assembly processes.

Unique Advantages

• Low‑impedance series design: Enables improved ripple performance in power conversion circuits, as indicated by the UPJ series characteristics.
• Measurable ripple capability at multiple frequencies: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clear design limits for both low‑ and high‑frequency switching environments.
• Compact radial footprint: Small diameter (φ6.3 mm) and short length (11 mm) help save board space in through‑hole designs.
• Wide operating temperature range: −55 °C to 105 °C supports use across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Defined endurance specification: 2000 hours at 105 °C offers a predictable lifespan parameter for thermal stress planning.
• RoHS compliance and practical packaging: Environmentally compliant materials and bulk/bag packing make inventory and handling straightforward for production and prototyping.
