UPJ2A120MED

The UPJ2A120MED from Nichicon is a low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package designed for switching power supplies and other general-purpose power applications. It provides 120 µF capacitance at 100 V with a ±20% tolerance and is optimized for power filtering where low impedance and stable performance across frequency are important.

Engineered for reliability, this radial-lead capacitor is RoHS compliant and rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance for power filtering and bulk storage.
• Low Impedance Construction — Designed for low impedance to support switching power supply applications and reduce ripple effects across frequency.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and polarized leads for through-hole mounting in standard power assemblies.
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Specified operating range of -55°C to +105°C and a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C for reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Proven ripple handling with 28.5 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 57 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency) for real-world switching conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current ≤ 0.03 × C × V (μA) after one minute at 20°C as specified in the series datasheet.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directives for lead-free manufacturing and environmental compliance.
• Compact Footprint — Small can dimensions (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm) and a seated height of 1.1 cm enable placement in space-constrained power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and decoupling capacitor for smoothing and ripple suppression in SMPS front-ends and output stages.
• Power Conversion Modules — Energy storage and transient support in DC–DC converters and auxiliary power modules.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and stabilization in motor drives, control units, and general-purpose industrial power circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for Switching Environments: Low-impedance construction and frequency-specific ripple current ratings make it suitable for switching regulator applications.
• Temperature-Rated Reliability: Wide operating range (-55°C to +105°C) with a defined 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C supports sustained performance in hot operating conditions.
• Clear Electrical Limits: Specified leakage current and tolerance provide predictable behavior for engineering calculations and BOM selection.
• Compact, Through-Hole Form Factor: Radial-can package with tight footprint and 2.5 mm lead spacing eases integration into existing through-hole power assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for commercial and industrial products.
