UPJ1C562MHD

The UPJ1C562MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series, featuring 5600 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is a low-impedance, polarized can-style capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications, with performance characteristics targeted for switching power supplies and related power systems.

Key design attributes include a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C, a long rated life under load (5,000 hours at 105 °C), and packaging options for bulk or bag packing suitable for manual or automated assembly processes.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 5600 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage for power rails and supply smoothing.
• Low Impedance Design — UPJ series low-impedance construction optimized for switching power supply applications to support stable operation under ripple load.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.277 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.53 A (200 kHz), enabling effective performance across a range of switching frequencies.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance — Specified life of 5,000 hours at +105 °C; operating temperature range −55 °C to +105 °C for reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.30 and a measured leakage current of 2688 µA, allowing engineers to evaluate dissipation and standby losses.
• Radial Lead Package — φ16 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole designs; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and specified ripple current make the UPJ1C562MHD suitable for output filtering and energy storage in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk capacitance and 16 V rating support smoothing and decoupling on 12 V and similar power rails in industrial and consumer equipment.
• Embedded Power Modules — Radial-leaded can package and long endurance at elevated temperature support use in compact power modules and converters that require durable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for switching environments — Low-impedance UPJ construction is intended for switching power supplies, helping reduce output ripple and improve regulator stability.
• High ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (200 kHz) frequencies enable performance across a range of converter topologies and switching speeds.
• Long thermal life — 5,000-hour endurance at 105 °C provides predictable aging characteristics for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Wide operating temperature — −55 °C to +105 °C range supports deployment in environments with significant thermal variation.
• Through-hole robustness — Radial lead configuration and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify PCB integration for durable, serviceable assemblies.
• RoHS compliant — Meets regulatory requirements for restricted substances to support environmentally conscious designs.
