UPJ1C102MHD6

The UPJ1C102MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can designed for general-purpose use and is specified for use in switching power supply applications.

Key value is delivered through a low-impedance design with rated capacitance of 1000 µF at 16 V, compact φ16 × 15 mm packaging, and a 5000-hour endurance rating at 105°C for sustained performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF (1 mF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low-loss Electrical Performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 839.3 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.09 A at 200 kHz, supporting robust ripple conditions in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA.
• High Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours life under load at 105°C (with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tanδ and leakage current).
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — φ16 × 15 mm can, radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Suited for applications that require low-impedance capacitors for smoothing and energy buffering in switch-mode circuits.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Use where a 16 V, 1000 µF polarized capacitor is required for decoupling, bulk storage, or ripple absorption.
• Embedded Power Modules — Compact radial can and high ripple capability make it suitable for space-constrained power modules and board-level power designs.
