UPJ1C271MPD

The UPJ1C271MPD is a Nichicon UPJ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, rated 270 µF at 16 V. It delivers low-impedance performance and compact sizing for general-purpose power filtering and switching power supply applications.

Key value comes from its low loss factor (tanδ), specified ripple current capability at both low and high frequency, and a proven endurance rating for the φ8 case at elevated temperature, making it suitable for compact, reliable power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance: tanδ = 0.16 (max) specified at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating, supporting effective AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 233.7 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 410 mA (200 kHz) for improved smoothing and decoupling performance.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 129.6 µA.
• Endurance: 3000 hours load life at +105°C for the φ8 case size (specified life/endurance in product data).
• Temperature Range: Operates from −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead can, size φ8 × 15 mm (L), lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through‑hole mounting and hand or machine insertion.
• Polarized Design: Polarized aluminum electrolytic type for DC power applications.
• Packaging Options & Availability: Supplied in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag Packing; status: Mass Production.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Low-impedance construction and ripple current capability make it suitable for output and bulk smoothing in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Used for decoupling and smoothing in a wide range of general-purpose electronic circuits.
• Compact Through-Hole Designs: Small φ8 × 15 mm can and radial leads fit space-constrained PCBs requiring through-hole components.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance performance: Specified tanδ and series design support effective ripple attenuation in power circuits.
• Dual-frequency ripple specifications: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz give clear guidance for low- and high-frequency filtering design.
• Compact, serviceable package: φ8 radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing fits compact through-hole layouts while remaining easy to handle.
• Proven endurance for φ8 case: 3000-hour rating at 105°C for long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines.
• Production-ready supply: Mass production status and standard bulk/bag packing options simplify procurement and assembly planning.
