UPJ2C100MPD

The UPJ2C100MPD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPJ series, designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling. It is a low-impedance, polarized can-style capacitor with a 100 µF capacitance and 16 V rated voltage, intended for applications such as switching power supplies and other DC power rail smoothing tasks.

Packaged as a φ10 × 16 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk packaging, this part delivers high-temperature endurance—specified to withstand 5000 hours at +105 °C—and is RoHS compliant. Note: this part is listed as End of Life.

Key Features

• Low-impedance construction – Series design targets low impedance for improved performance in switching power supply and power-filter applications.
• Rated electricals – 100 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 16 V rated voltage, suitable for DC rail decoupling and smoothing.
• Thermal endurance – Rated operating temperature to +105 °C and specified lifetime of 5000 hours at 105 °C (φ10 case), supporting sustained high-temperature operation.
• Ripple current capability – Specified ripple current values of 90 mA at 120 Hz and 144 mA at 200 kHz for handling AC components on DC rails.
• Compact radial can package – φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB assembly and straightforward mechanical retention.
• Polarized, can-style construction – Standard polarized electrolytic design for DC applications.
• Compliance and packaging – RoHS compliant and supplied in bulk packaging.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies – Low-impedance capacitance for output smoothing and stability in DC–DC converters and switch-mode power supplies.
• Power rail decoupling – Local energy storage and ripple attenuation on PCB power rails in consumer and industrial electronics.
• General-purpose power filtering – Bulk and local filtering in control boards, instrumentation, and power-management circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for switching environments – Low impedance and specified ripple ratings support reliable filtering in high-frequency switching applications.
• High-temperature durability – 5000-hour load life at +105 °C (φ10) provides predictable long-term performance in thermally demanding installations.
• Space-efficient form factor – φ10 × 16 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing enables compact through-hole placement without sacrificing capacitance.
• Clear specification set – Manufacturer-provided values for capacitance, tolerance, ripple current, and operating temperature allow straightforward engineering selection and verification.
• RoHS compliant – Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing environments.
• Bulk packaging – Economical supply format for production-volume assembly.
