UPJ2A270MPD6

The UPJ2A270MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series, engineered for low impedance and reliable performance in power applications. It provides 27 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with polarized construction and ±20% tolerance.

Designed for general-purpose and power-supply use, this part offers measurable benefits for designs requiring sustained high-temperature endurance, controlled loss (tanδ), and defined ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Low-impedance UPJ series: Built for switching power supplies and power filtering where lower impedance improves transient and ripple performance.
• Rated capacitance & voltage: 27 µF at 100 V with ±20% tolerance, providing defined energy storage for DC filtering and decoupling.
• Loss angle (tanδ): 0.08 maximum at 20°C and 120 Hz, indicating low dissipation factor for reduced AC loss in the intended frequency range.
• Ripple current capability: 72.5 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 145 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective handling of both mains-frequency and switching ripple.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage of 81 µA, useful for predicting standby and quiescent current in power systems.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation under sustained thermal stress.
• Package & mounting: Radial lead can, size φ10 × 12.5L, lead spacing 5.0 mm with a lead-spacing tolerance of 0.5 mm; supplied Bulk (No Terminal Forming) / Bag Packing.
• Environmental compliance & availability: RoHS compliant and in mass production.
• Operating range & polarity: Polarized capacitor with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Use as output or input smoothing capacitors where low impedance and specified ripple currents improve regulation and reduce voltage ripple.
• General-purpose power filtering: Bulk and decoupling applications in industrial and commercial power electronics that require polarized electrolytic capacitance.
• DC-DC converters: Energy storage and ripple attenuation in converter stages benefiting from the UPJ series' low loss and defined high-frequency ripple rating.
• Industrial power modules: Filtering and smoothing in equipment designed for sustained elevated temperatures, supported by a 5000-hour rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Measured high-temperature reliability: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for thermally demanding designs.
• Defined ripple handling across frequencies: Separate ripple-current specifications at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance for both mains and switching noise.
• Low dissipation factor: 0.08 tanδ at 20°C/120 Hz reduces AC losses and supports efficiency in power conversion circuits.
• Compact radial can: φ10 × 12.5L radial package with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies PCB layout for through-hole designs while retaining usable capacitance and voltage rating.
• Predictable leakage: Specified leakage current (81 µA) aids in stand-by current budgeting and system power management.
• Compliance and production readiness: RoHS compliant and available in mass production for straightforward procurement and compliance planning.
