UPJ1C182MHD6

The UPJ1C182MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series designed for power filtering and energy storage in general-purpose and switching power supply applications. It delivers 1800 µF at a 16 V rating in a compact φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing, combining high capacitance density with low impedance and a long rated life.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1.8 mF (1800 µF) nominal capacitance at ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V, suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage rails.
• Loss Characteristics — Specified tan δ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 16 V), providing a clear measure of dissipation for design margin calculations.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.377 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.53 A (200 kHz), supporting high ripple environments in switching supplies.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified as 864 µA, enabling predictable standby and bias current planning.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C and an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C for long-term thermal reliability.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with φ16 × 20 mm dimensions and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming), RoHS compliant.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of the UPJ series specified for low impedance and use in switching power supplies, enabling efficient energy transfer and stable rail performance.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple handling are required to maintain stable converter output.
• DC-DC Converters — Input/output decoupling for intermediate rails and synchronous converters operating at high ripple frequencies.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Power smoothing and energy buffering in controllers and power distribution modules operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long Rated Life at Elevated Temperature: 5000 hours at +105°C gives predictable end-of-life planning for designs exposed to sustained thermal stress.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents allow designers to select this capacitor with confidence for both line-frequency and switching-frequency applications.
• Compact, Through-Hole Form Factor: φ16 × 20 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing fits common through-hole layouts while providing large capacitance per package.
• Quantified Dissipation: Defined tan δ at standard test conditions (20°C, 120 Hz, 16 V) supports loss and thermal rise calculations during system design.
• Predictable Leakage: Specified leakage current figure aids in low-current and standby power budgeting.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for regulated markets.
