UPJ1C560MDD

The UPJ1C560MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series, offering 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a ±20% tolerance. Designed as a general-purpose power component, it provides low-loss characteristics (tanδ = 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and ripple-handling capability for compact power filtering and decoupling applications.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include a -55°C to 105°C operating range, a compact φ5 × 11 mm can, radial lead mounting with 2 mm lead spacing, and RoHS compliance. Note: this part is designated End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable charge storage and decoupling performance.
• Low Loss (tanδ) — Tangent of loss angle 0.16 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting efficient operation in power circuits where reduced dissipation is required.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 53.55 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 105 mA (200 kHz) to support smoothing in switching and high-frequency power stages.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 26.88 µA after 1 minute at rated voltage and 20°C, enabling predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C for thermal robustness in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Can — Mechanical size φ5 × 11 mm (D × L) with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial-lead mounting for through-hole, hand-assembly, or basic automated insertion processes.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and inventory handling.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for material compliance.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Acts as an output or intermediate smoothing capacitor where low impedance and defined ripple performance are needed.
• Point-of-Load Filtering — Useful for localized decoupling on power rails in compact consumer and industrial electronics.
• General Power Electronics — Applicable for bulk decoupling, bias filtering, and energy storage in low-voltage circuits up to 16 V.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable, application-ready specifications — Provided values for tanδ, leakage current, and ripple current let designers validate thermal and ripple budgets precisely.
• Compact footprint for through-hole designs — φ5 × 11 mm can and 2 mm lead spacing help preserve PCB area while maintaining radial-lead robustness.
• High-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C supports designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures with defined end-of-life behavior.
• Versatile ripple handling — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings support mixed-frequency power stages commonly found in switching power systems.
• RoHS compliance — Facilitates use in designs targeting restricted-substance conformity.
