UPJ1C122MHD6

The UPJ1C122MHD6 is a high-reliability, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor with 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance rated at 16 V, designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling.

Built for applications that require low impedance and extended endurance, this part offers high ripple-current capability and long life at elevated temperature, making it well suited for switching power supplies and industrial power modules.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1200 µF (1.2 mF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Low Impedance Design — UPJ series low-impedance construction optimized for switching power supply use, supporting stable filtering under dynamic loads.
• High Ripple Current — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 1000.4 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1220 mA at 200 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in power stages.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating, supporting predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 576 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C), useful for system-level leakage budgeting.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C with operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C for reliable long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Can Package — Size φ16 × 15 mm (D × L), seated height 15 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm with 0.5 mm tolerance, and lead diameter 0.8 mm (φd) for robust through-hole mounting. Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple-current capability improve voltage stability and reduce ripple on rails.
• Industrial Power Modules — Energy smoothing and decoupling in converters and power assemblies that operate across −55°C to +105°C with long endurance requirements.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — General DC rail decoupling and hold-up capacitance for embedded systems and commercial electronics.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Supports over 1 A of ripple current (120 Hz) and ~1.22 A at high frequency to address demanding power-stage filtering needs.
• Long elevated-temperature life: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Low-impedance construction: UPJ series design reduces ESR and supports stable performance in switching environments.
• Compact through-hole form factor: φ16 × 15 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint for robust soldered mounting and mechanical stability.
• Measured electrical parameters: Specified tanδ (0.16 at 20°C/120 Hz) and defined leakage current (576 µA) allow accurate simulation and BOM-level selection.
• Supply and packaging flexibility: Available in bulk or bag packing to support prototype through production workflows.
