UPJ1C561MHD6

The UPJ1C561MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series. It is a radial-leaded, polarized capacitor designed for general-purpose use with particular suitability for switching power supply applications.

With a rated capacitance of 560 µF at 16 V, low dissipation factor, and specified ripple handling at both low and high frequencies, this part targets board-level power filtering and decoupling where compact size and long-term endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient AC performance in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 484.25 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 745 mA (200 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 268.8 µA, measured per product test conditions.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C (endurance condition listed for the UPJ series), supporting extended operation under elevated temperature and bias.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational from −55°C to +105°C to cover demanding thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Package — Can-style radial package with diameter φ12.5 mm and length 15 mm, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for board-level assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified for the UPJ series.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Smoothing and decoupling of switching rails where low impedance and specified ripple current capability are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Board-level filtering and bulk decoupling in general electronic circuits.
• DC–DC Converter Output Stages — Output smoothing where a compact, radial electrolytic with high ripple handling and long life is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for switching environments — Series-level low-impedance characteristics and the part’s measured ripple currents make it suitable for switching power supply filtering.
• Long high-temperature endurance — 5000 hours at 105°C supports durability under sustained elevated temperature and bias conditions.
• Compact radial form factor — φ12.5 × 15 mm can-style body with 5 mm lead spacing enables space-efficient placement on through-hole PCBs.
• Measurable AC performance — Specified tan δ at 20°C/120 Hz provides a clear indicator of dissipation behavior for design verification.
• Dual-frequency ripple data — Provided ripple current values at 120 Hz and 200 kHz help designers assess suitability across both low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Packaging flexibility — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match production and prototyping workflows.
