UPM0J271MED

The UPM0J271MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, designed for low-impedance, high-reliability applications. It delivers 270 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and polarized radial leads.

Key electrical characteristics include a tanδ of 0.22, measured leakage current of 51.03 µA, and rated ripple currents of 156.8 mA (120 Hz) and 275 mA (200 kHz). The part is AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant. Note: this part is listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF at 6.3 V provides bulk energy storage for local decoupling and supply stabilization in compact circuits.
• Low Loss — tanδ = 0.22 (120 Hz, 20°C) for the 6.3 V rating, enabling predictable AC behavior in filtering applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 51.03 µA (after 1 minute at rated voltage, 20°C), matching the manufacturer’s leakage current model for this capacitance and voltage.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 156.8 mA at 120 Hz and 275 mA at 200 kHz support smoothing and noise reduction across low- and high-frequency bands.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from -55°C to +105°C, supporting environments with broad temperature swings.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated and part of Nichicon’s UPM series noted for low impedance and high reliability; specified life is 2000 hours at 105°C for this part.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can-style package (φ6.3 × 15 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing; supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and the -55°C to +105°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for vehicle electronic power circuits where temperature resilience is required.
• Power Supply Smoothing — 270 µF capacitance and specified ripple currents support local bulk filtering and supply stabilization in compact power modules.
• Decoupling and Noise Suppression — Low-impedance characteristics and defined tanδ help control AC impedance for decoupling near sensitive components across a range of frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Verified Leakage Performance — Leakage current specified at 51.03 µA aligns directly with the manufacturer’s C·V leakage model for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Ratings — Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clear guidance for both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency noise attenuation.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating supports designs targeting automotive electronics and related high-reliability markets.
• Compact Radial Can — φ6.3 × 15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing lets designers fit substantial capacitance into tight PCB real estate while using through-hole, radial mounting.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified −55°C to +105°C range helps ensure stable performance across demanding thermal environments.

Why Choose UPM0J271MED?

UPM0J271MED combines a practical 270 µF capacitance with clear, application-driven electrical data—leakage current, tanδ, ripple currents, and AEC‑Q200 qualification—allowing engineers to make verifiable design tradeoffs for temperature-challenged and automotive environments. Its compact radial can and defined mechanical dimensions simplify placement in through-hole power sections where reliability and predictable AC performance matter.

This part is well suited to designers and procurement teams specifying capacitors for robust power filtering, decoupling, and smoothing tasks in systems that require traceable qualifications and temperature endurance. The RoHS compliance and series-level emphasis on low impedance and reliability add further assurance for long-term designs.
