UPM1A101MED

The UPM1A101MED is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, designed for compact power-decoupling and smoothing in demanding environments. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for reliability, this polarized capacitor combines low loss (tan δ 0.19), low leakage (30 µA), a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to 105 °C, and AEC‑Q200 qualification for automotive and other high-reliability applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and bulk energy storage.
• Low Loss — tan δ of 0.19 (at 120 Hz, 20 °C) to help minimize dissipation in filter and smoothing circuits.
• Low Leakage — leakage current specified at 30 µA to preserve charge and reduce standby drain.
• Ripple Handling — rated ripple current: 70.2 mA at 120 Hz and 135 mA at 200 kHz for realistic AC stress conditions.
• Temperature & Lifetime — operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & Mounting — radial lead, can package with φ6.3 × 11 mm dimensions and 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole implementations.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated and high-reliability designs.
• Polarized Design — axial polarity suitable for DC decoupling and smoothing in power rails.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — power rail decoupling and bulk smoothing in control modules and infotainment systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
• Power Supplies — output filtering and energy storage in compact, through‑hole power supplies and regulators.
• Industrial Controls — decoupling and transient absorption in motor drivers, sensor interfaces, and embedded controllers operating across wide temperature ranges.
• Consumer & Embedded Devices — local energy storage and noise suppression in compact boards that require reliable, polarized electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high‑capacitance package — 100 µF in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can saves board area while providing necessary bulk capacitance.
• Measurable low leakage — 30 µA leakage supports low standby drain and predictable behavior in bias-sensitive circuits.
• Designed for ripple stress — specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable reliable operation under AC loading conditions.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification — appropriate for automotive and other high‑reliability programs that require formal component qualification.
• Wide operating temperature — −55 °C to 105 °C supports deployment across harsh thermal environments.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance simplifies use in regulated markets.
