UPJ2C010MPD

The UPJ2C010MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series, designed for low-impedance power applications. It provides 1 µF of capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can and is intended for general-purpose use including switching power supplies.

Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C, specified ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies, and endurance under elevated temperature loading (3000 hours at 105°C for the φ8 case size).

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1 µF capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20%, rated at 160 V, providing a compact high-voltage bulk/decoupling option.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — tanδ (dissipation factor) specified as 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz (measured at 160 V), supporting efficient power filtering in switching supplies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 19 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 30.4 mA at 1 kHz, enabling use in both mains-frequency and high-frequency DC-DC applications.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current rated at 56 µA, suitable for power circuits where controlled leakage is required.
• Mechanical / Package — Radial lead (can) package, dimensions φ8 × 11.5 mm (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm), lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Reliability and Lifetime — Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C for the φ8 case size; meets series-level objectives for low impedance and long-term performance under load.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance characteristics and rated voltage make this capacitor suitable for output filtering and decoupling in switch-mode power supplies.
• DC-DC Converters — Compact φ8 can and 160 V rating support use in board-level power regulator stages requiring high-voltage decoupling.
• General Power Filtering — Useful for general-purpose smoothing and ripple reduction in industrial and consumer power circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage package — Delivers 1 µF at 160 V in a small φ8 × 11.5 mm can, helping save PCB real estate in through-hole designs.
• Measured low dissipation — tanδ specified at 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides predictable AC loss for thermal and efficiency planning.
• Frequency-aware ripple performance — Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 1 kHz support design decisions across both low- and high-frequency applications.
• Designed for elevated-temperature operation — Rated for operation from −40°C to 105°C with 3000-hour endurance at 105°C for the φ8 size, supporting reliability under sustained thermal stress.
• Through-hole mounting convenience — Radial lead format with 3.5 mm lead spacing simplifies prototyping and repair in legacy and industrial boards.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for modern assemblies.
