UPJ1K271MHD6

The UPJ1K271MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPJ series, designed for low-impedance power applications. It provides 270 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating in a compact φ16 × 20 mm can.

Targeted for general-purpose and switching power supply designs, this device combines a wide operating temperature range and long endurance to support reliable bulk filtering and decoupling on higher-voltage rails.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 270 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance measured at 120 Hz, 20°C; rated for 80 V operation.
• Low Loss / Low Dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.08 under the 80 V rating (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), helping to limit heating under AC ripple.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 422.94 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 742 mA (200 kHz) as specified for the part.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 648 µA (consistent with 0.03CV measurement condition at 20°C), for predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours of load life at +105°C, supporting extended service in thermally demanding applications.
• Mechanical / Package — Radial can package, size φ16 × 20L with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and 0.8 mm lead diameter for robust through-hole mounting and assembly.
• Wide Temperature Range & Compliance — Operating temperature from -55°C to +105°C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing where low impedance and long endurance at elevated temperatures are required.
• Power Rail Decoupling — Decoupling and energy storage on higher-voltage DC rails in industrial and commercial equipment.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Through-hole radial mounting for repairable assemblies, bench equipment, and legacy platforms needing reliable electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance design: Series UPJ is specified as low impedance, making this part well suited to applications with significant ripple currents and fast load transients.
• High-voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use on higher-voltage rails where many electrolytics are not specified.
• Measurable ripple tolerance: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (422.94 mA at 120 Hz and 742 mA at 200 kHz) let designers size parts with confidence.
• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at +105°C provides predictable endurance for thermally challenging designs.
• Compact, through-hole package: φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and 0.8 mm lead diameter for straightforward PCB mounting and mechanical stability.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regulated assemblies.
