UPJ1J101MHD6

The UPJ1J101MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated at 100 µF and 63 V. It is part of the UPJ series optimized for low impedance and reliable operation in switching power supply and general-purpose power applications.

Packaged in a compact 12.5 mm diameter × 15 mm length radial can, this polarized capacitor combines a wide operating temperature range and long load life to support robust power-filtering, decoupling and energy-storage needs in electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Impedance Design — Specified as low impedance in the UPJ series, with rated ripple current performance of 239.2 mA at 120 Hz and 460 mA at 200 kHz to support switching regulator environments.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial can construction with 5 mm lead spacing suitable for through-hole PCB mounting and manual or wave assembly workflows.
• Compact Size — 12.5 mm diameter × 15 mm length (φ12.5 × L15 mm), providing a small footprint for space-constrained power sections.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to accommodate a broad set of ambient conditions.
• Long Load Life — Designed to withstand 5000 hours at +105°C under rated bias and ripple current (typical endurance for φ12.5 case sizes in the UPJ series).
• Polarized, General-Purpose — Polarized aluminum electrolytic suited for general-purpose power applications and switching power supplies.
• RoHS Compliant — Complies with RoHS directives as stated for the UPJ series.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing where low impedance and specified ripple current handling are required.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Local energy storage and transient suppression for DC-DC converters and regulator outputs.
• General Power Electronics — Use in consumer and industrial power circuits that need compact, reliable electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance performance: The UPJ series designation and provided ripple current specs support effective filtering in switching environments.
• Compact radial can: φ12.5 × 15 mm package balances capacitance and size for space-limited PCB layouts.
• High-voltage rating: 63 V rating gives headroom for many intermediate bus and higher-voltage rail applications.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000 hours at +105°C (for φ12.5 case) provides predictable long-term performance under thermal stress.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C supports operation across a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental and regulatory sourcing requirements.
