UPJ1C102MPD

The UPJ1C102MPD is a Nichicon UPJ series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can. It delivers 1000 µF at 16 V with low impedance characteristics specifically targeted for switching power supplies and general-purpose power circuits. Designed for long-term reliability, this part supports operation from -55°C to +105°C and a 5000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low-loss Performance — tan δ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, delivering low dissipation for efficient filtering in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 931.7 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.21 A (200 kHz) to support demanding switching outputs.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA to help maintain charge integrity in power-rail applications.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C (φ10 case), with endurance criteria that include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ up to 200% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ10 × 30.5 mm, lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm); available in bulk/bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple current capability make this capacitor suitable for output smoothing and decoupling in switching regulators.
• DC‑DC Converters — 1000 µF capacitance and robust ripple handling support stable voltage regulation and transient suppression on converter rails.
• General-Purpose Power Rails — Through-hole radial package and long life at elevated temperature suit industrial and embedded power sections where reliability is required.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for High-Ripple Environments — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies enable reliable operation in switching circuits and reduce the need for oversized capacitors.
• Long-Term Thermal Reliability — 5000-hour rating at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior and supports designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor — φ10 × 30.5 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies board layout for through-hole assemblies while conserving board area.
• Controlled Losses — Measured tan δ of 0.16 at 20°C/120 Hz offers lower dissipation for efficient filtering and improved thermal performance under AC ripple.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets current RoHS requirements for use in regulated product lines.
