UPM0J181MED

The UPM0J181MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, offering 180 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V. It is a polarized, low-impedance device designed for applications requiring reliable performance across a wide temperature range.

Key attributes include AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Note: this part is currently listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 180 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20%, rated at 6.3 V; dissipation factor (tanδ) of 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 94.5 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 175 mA (200 kHz), suitable for decoupling and filtering in supported circuit conditions.
• Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 34.02 µA, consistent with electrolytic capacitor behavior and specified test conditions.
• Reliability & Endurance — Specified life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C; part conforms to AEC-Q200 reliability requirements listed in the product data.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C to address wide ambient and thermal environments.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead mounting with can dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm and lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm); polarized construction simplifies orientation in through-hole assemblies.
• Packaging & Compliance — Available in bulk/no terminal forming and bag packing; RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive systems requiring qualified components.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides a level of reliability required for automotive-grade component selection.
• Wide operating temperature: -55°C to 105°C rating supports functionality across harsh thermal environments.
• Compact radial can: φ6.3 × 11 mm size and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable compact through-hole layouts where space is constrained.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (94.5 mA / 175 mA) help designers budget for ripple-related heating and lifetime effects.
• Clear electrical characterization: Specified tanδ, leakage, and tolerance values allow precise selection and modeling in power and filtering circuits.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to environmental regulations for lead-free assembly requirements.
