UPJ1C271MPD6

The UPJ1C271MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series, designed for low-impedance, general-purpose power applications. It provides 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can size and 5 mm lead spacing.

With a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and a rated load life of 5000 hours at 105°C, this capacitor targets applications that require sustained ripple handling and reliable performance in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for general-purpose power filtering.
• Low Loss / Dielectric Performance: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (rated voltage 16 V), supporting stable AC performance under typical operating conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated low-frequency ripple current 245.1 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 430 mA at 200 kHz to handle switching and AC ripple stress.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current 129.6 µA, providing predictable DC leakage behavior for bias-sensitive designs.
• Reliability / Endurance: 5000 hours load life at 105°C (per UPJ series specification) for long-term thermal endurance in power applications.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, polarized aluminum can (φ10 × 12.5 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Environment: RoHS compliant and in mass production status.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Specified by the UPJ series as suited for switching power supplies—offers low impedance and ripple handling for regulator output and input filtering.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: 270 µF at 16 V and specified ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for general power-supply smoothing and energy storage tasks.
• Low-Impedance Power Sections: Low tanδ and series design focus on low-impedance performance for sections of circuits that require stable AC behavior under load.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint with strong energy density: φ10 × 12.5 mm can size (1.25 × 1.00 cm) offers high capacitance in a small radial-lead package for space-constrained boards.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, enabling sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Measured ripple specs for design confidence: Separate low-frequency (245.1 mA at 120 Hz) and high-frequency (430 mA at 200 kHz) ripple ratings support accurate thermal and reliability calculations.
• Predictable dielectric loss: tanδ of 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) at the rated voltage gives designers a clear metric for AC dissipation and impedance planning.
• Controlled leakage behavior: Specified leakage current of 129.6 µA for predictable bias performance in DC circuits.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Mass production status and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and regulatory considerations.
