UPJ1C272MHD

The UPJ1C272MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 2700 µF of capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 35.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Built for power filtering and energy storage in electronic systems, this Nichicon UPJ series part emphasizes low impedance, measurable ripple handling, and long life under elevated operating temperature conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance ±20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of the UPJ low-impedance series suitable for switching power supplies, providing improved AC performance compared to standard electrolytics.
• High Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C (endurance condition specified for applicable case sizes), supporting sustained operation at elevated temperature.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.791 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.99 A at 1 kHz for real-world power-line ripple and switching noise handling.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a quantifiable dissipation characteristic for thermal and AC-loss budgeting.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1296 µA, measurable for design verification and end-of-life considerations.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated from −55°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of ambient and thermal environments.
• Radial Lead Packaging — φ12.5 mm diameter can, 35.5 mm length, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for PCB assembly and prototyping.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets applicable RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance construction and rated ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for input/output filtering and hold-up in switching regulators.
• General Power Filtering — Large capacitance and 16 V rating provide bulk smoothing and decoupling in DC power rails and intermediate bus designs.
• Industrial Electronics — Wide temperature range and 5000-hour endurance at 105°C support sustained use in industrial control and power management modules.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable Ripple Handling: Specified LF and HF ripple current numbers (1.791 A at 120 Hz, 1.99 A at 1 kHz) allow designers to size capacitors against real ripple loads.
• Long-Term High-Temperature Endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life performance for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Quantified Loss and Leakage Metrics: Specified tan δ (0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1296 µA) enable thermal and leakage budgeting early in design.
• Compact Radial Can: φ12.5 × 35.5 mm radial package with 5 mm lead spacing balances capacitance density and through-hole assembly compatibility.
• Production Availability: Product is in mass production, supporting volume procurement and consistent supply for ongoing projects.
