UPM0J121MDD

The UPM0J121MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, offering 120 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating. It combines a compact φ5 × 11L can with polarized radial leads and is designed for applications requiring defined ripple performance and wide operating temperature range.

Key value propositions include low-loss behavior (tanδ 0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz), measurable ripple handling at both low and high frequencies, and AEC‑Q200 qualification for demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 120 µF nominal capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20%, suitable for low-voltage energy storage and decoupling tasks.
• Low Loss Characteristic: tanδ (DF) specified at 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for controlled dissipation and predictable AC performance.
• Ripple Current Capability: Specified low-frequency ripple current of 60.95 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 115 mA at 200 kHz to quantify performance across common switching and linear regimes.
• Leakage Current: Low leakage current of 22.68 µA, enabling stable bias conditions in sensitive circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance: Rated operating range of -55°C to 105°C with a documented life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting: Compact radial can (φ5 × 11L) with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and bulk/bag packing options for straightforward through-hole assembly and handling.
• Qualification & Compliance: AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant for use in regulated and reliability-focused designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Designed for automotive electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and an operating range of -55°C to 105°C are required to support power filtering and decoupling in control modules.
• Automotive power modules — Ripple current specifications at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to size bulk and local decoupling where switching and low-frequency content coexist.
• Temperature‑stress environments — The -55°C to 105°C rating and specified 2000 h endurance at 105°C make this capacitor appropriate for applications exposed to extended thermal cycling within its rated limits.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Provides a documented reliability baseline for designs targeting demanding environments and automotive-level expectations.
• Measured AC performance: Defined tanδ and leakage current values (0.22 and 22.68 µA respectively) allow precise Q/A and circuit design tradeoffs for loss and standby current.
• Multi-frequency ripple data: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 200 kHz gives engineers clear, frequency-specific limits for both linear and switching power scenarios.
• Compact radial form factor: Small φ5 × 11L can with 2 mm lead spacing facilitates space-conscious through-hole designs while maintaining measurable performance.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current environmental directives for regulated product sourcing.
