UPJ2A101MHD6

The UPJ2A101MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series, presented in a radial-lead can for through-hole mounting. Designed for low impedance operation, this 100 µF, 100 V polarized capacitor targets switching power supplies and general-purpose electronic applications that require stable capacitance and defined ripple handling.

Key value propositions include high-temperature endurance up to 105°C, a 5000‑hour rated load life at 105°C, measurable ripple current ratings at low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance with a 100 V voltage rating and ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance Series — Part of the UPJ low-impedance series optimized for switching power supply environments and applications requiring reduced ripple.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C and specified for 5000 hours load life at 105°C to support thermally demanding designs.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple handling: 247 mA at 120 Hz and 475 mA at 200 kHz, enabling design validation across frequency ranges.
• Radial Lead Package — 16 mm diameter × 15 mm length can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for reliable through-hole placement.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specification of ≤0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20°C and defined tan δ limits by rated voltage for predictable losses.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Output smoothing and decoupling where low impedance and validated ripple handling reduce output ripple and improve regulator stability.
• Power Conversion Circuits — DC link and filter capacitor roles in converters and inverters requiring a 100 V rating and high-temperature endurance.
• General‑Purpose Electronic Equipment — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in industrial and consumer electronics operating across -55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Life — 5000 hours at 105°C provides designers with predictable lifetime behavior for thermally stressed systems.
• Low Impedance Design — UPJ series characteristics reduce impedance, aiding ripple suppression in switching environments.
• Frequency‑Aware Ripple Specs — Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz support verification of performance across mains and switching frequencies.
• Through‑Hole Reliability — Radial-lead can construction with defined lead spacing simplifies PCB layout and mechanical attachment for robust assemblies.
• Quantified Leakage & Loss — Leakage formula (≤0.03CV µA) and tan δ limits provide measurable parameters for thermal and loss calculations.
• Regulatory Alignment — RoHS compliance helps meet environmental requirements in manufactured products.
