Overview of UPJ1K270MED – 27 µF, 80 V Low-Impedance Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPJ1K270MED is an aluminum electrolytic, radial-lead capacitor designed for low-impedance power applications. It delivers 27 µF at 80 V with a polarized can package optimized for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.
With a compact φ6.3 × 15 mm can, a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, this part targets through-hole designs that require reliable ripple handling and compact high-voltage decoupling.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 27 µF rated capacitance at 80 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
- Low-Impedance Performance — Specified for low impedance use in switching power supplies; tangent of loss angle (tanδ) is 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) at this voltage class.
- Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 40 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 80 mA (200 kHz) for effective smoothing under switching conditions.
- Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 64.8 µA, supporting predictable DC bias behavior in power circuits.
- Thermal & Endurance — Rated for -55°C to 105°C operation with a life/endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and compact size φ6.3 × 15 mm (L: 1.5 cm × D: 0.63 cm) for through-hole assemblies.
- Packaging & Compliance — Supplied in bulk / bag packing (no terminal forming) and RoHS-compliant.
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Input/output smoothing and decoupling where low impedance and defined ripple handling are required.
- General-Purpose Power Filtering — Through-hole decoupling and bulk filtering in industrial and consumer power electronics.
- Through-Hole Power Rails — Radial-lead format suited for PCB designs that prefer or require through-hole components for power rail stability.
Unique Advantages
- Compact high-voltage solution: 80 V rating in a φ6.3 × 15 mm can provides high-voltage capability while minimizing board area.
- Designed for switching environments: Low tanδ and specified ripple currents (40 mA / 80 mA) help manage AC stress from switching supplies.
- Predictable lifetime at elevated temperature: Rated 2000 hours at 105°C for clear end-of-life planning in thermal designs.
- Through-hole assembly friendly: Radial leads with 2.5 mm spacing and bulk/bag packaging support straightforward manual or wave solder assembly processes.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports use in RoHS-directed products and assemblies.
