UPJ1V271MHD6

The UPJ1V271MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPJ series designed for low impedance and reliable operation in power applications. It provides 270 µF capacitance at 35 V in a compact radial-can package, optimized for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.

With a rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C, wide temperature range and measurable ripple-handling figures, this part targets designs that need durable bulk capacitance in a small footprint.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 270 µF at 35 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss / Impedance — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.12 (max) for 35 V units, supporting efficient energy transfer and reduced heating in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 393.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 690 mA (1 kHz), enabling effective smoothing of power rails under dynamic loads.
• Leakage Current — Product measured leakage current 283.5 µA; datasheet limit is 0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20°C, providing predictable standby loss characteristics.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C for this case size, supporting long-term reliability in continuously loaded power systems.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −55°C to +105°C to cover demanding environmental ranges.
• Compact Radial Package — φ12.5 × 15 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial leads for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB assembly; packaging available in bulk or bag.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Output smoothing and bulk energy storage where low impedance and high ripple capability help maintain stable rails under switching transients.
• DC–DC Converters — Bulk decoupling and intermediate smoothing for converter stages that demand a compact, high-capacitance radial solution.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Power supply filtering and smoothing in industrial and consumer electronics that require extended high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High-Temperature Endurance — 5000-hour life at +105°C for the φ12.5 case ensures sustained performance under continuous thermal stress.
• Designed for Low Impedance — Series-level design intent and a specified tanδ of 0.12 at 35 V reduce losses and improve ripple suppression in switching applications.
• Measurable Ripple Handling — Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 1 kHz let engineers size the capacitor with confidence for real-world AC stress.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor — Radial-can construction with 5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient bulk capacitor for board-level power management without complex mounting.
• Regulatory & Production Readiness — RoHS compliance and Mass Production status support procurement and regulatory needs.
