UPJ2C330MHD

The UPJ2C330MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPJ series, engineered for power applications that require low impedance and extended load life. With a rated voltage of 160 V and a nominal capacitance of 330 µF (±20%), it is designed for general-purpose use including switching power supplies and power-filtering applications.

Key performance attributes include low dissipation (tanδ measured at 0.2 at 20°C/120 Hz), measurable ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and rated endurance under high-temperature load conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher-voltage power rails.
• Low Loss — Dissipation factor (tanδ) of 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage and reduced heating in filter and decoupling roles.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 175 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 280 mA at 200 kHz to support switching and DC‑DC converter environments.
• Long Life Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, demonstrating sustained performance in elevated-temperature conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial-lead can package with a diameter of φ12.5 mm and length 25 mm, lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm) for through-hole PCB mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 311.2 µA, measurable for design budgeting and power-loss calculations.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for regulatory alignment in compliant assemblies.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or prototyping needs.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and rated ripple-current performance make it suitable for smoothing and output filtering on high-voltage switching rails.
• General Purpose Power Filtering — Polarized radial configuration and 160 V rating support bulk energy storage and decoupling in power-supply chains.
• Industrial Power Systems — Long endurance at 105°C and measurable leakage and dissipation specifications help in thermal and reliability planning for industrial power modules.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for High-Temperature Load Life: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term deployments.
• Measured AC Loss Characterization: Specified tanδ at 20°C/120 Hz (0.2) aids accuracy in impedance and dissipation budgeting during design.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Ratings: Provided ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across switching and line-frequency environments.
• Compact Radial Can: φ12.5 × 25 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing delivers a space-efficient through-hole solution for PCB-mounted power stages.
• Clear Leakage Specification: Listed leakage current (311.2 µA) enables precise power-loss and standby-current calculations.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for use in compliant assemblies.
