UPJ2A6R8MED

The UPJ2A6R8MED is a miniature, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, high-reliability type designed for low-impedance power circuits and general-purpose power filtering.

Key electrical characteristics include 6.8 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating, a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to 105 °C, and compact dimensions (φ6.3 × 11 mm). Note: this part is marked End Of Life.

Key Features

• Low-impedance UPJ series: Series design emphasizes low impedance suitable for power-supply applications.
• Rated voltage 100 V: High-voltage rating for more demanding DC link and power filtering applications.
• Capacitance and tolerance: 6.8 µF with tolerance −20% to +20% for predictable filtering performance.
• Dielectric loss (tan δ): tan δ = 0.08 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 100 V, supporting low dissipation in AC conditions.
• Ripple handling: Low-frequency ripple current 20.5 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 41 mA at 200 kHz, enabling use in both line-frequency and switched-mode environments.
• Leakage current: 20.4 µA, minimizing standby losses in DC circuits.
• Robust temperature and life rating: Operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C for this part.
• Compact radial can package: Size φ6.3 × 11 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), ideal for through-hole mounting in space-constrained layouts.
• Packaging options: Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) and Bag Packing for flexible procurement and assembly needs.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Low-impedance construction and specified ripple currents make it suitable for output filtering in switching regulators.
• General-purpose power filtering: Use for decoupling, smoothing, and bulk storage in compact through-hole power circuits.
• Compact power modules: Small-diameter radial can and short profile support tight PCB layouts and module-level power designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance series characteristics: Helps reduce ripple voltage and improve dynamic response in power supplies.
• High-voltage capability: 100 V rating extends applicability to higher-voltage rails without series stacking.
• Small footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm case provides a space-efficient solution for through-hole designs.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to evaluate behavior across common operating frequencies.
• Wide temperature range: −55 °C to 105 °C supports operation across demanding thermal environments.
• Multiple packing options: Bulk and bag packing support flexible inventory and assembly workflows.
