UPM1A122MHD6

The UPM1A122MHD6 is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series designed for high‑reliability power applications. It provides 1200 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating with low impedance and specified ripple handling for demanding DC power rails.

Engineered for robust operation across a wide temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and long endurance (5,000 hours at 105°C), this part is suited for applications that require stable filtering, decoupling and energy storage under elevated temperature and continuous ripple loads.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1200 µF (1.2 mF) nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance providing bulk energy storage for low‑voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance & Loss: Specified impedance of 60 mΩ and tan δ of 0.19 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling effective filtering and reduced AC losses at ripple frequencies.
• Ripple Current Handling: Rated low‑frequency ripple current 762.6 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 930 mA at 200 kHz for continuous ripple applications.
• Leakage Current: Leakage current specified at 360 µA, enabling predictable standby and low‑loss performance after applied voltage.
• High Reliability & Endurance: Load life rated 5000 hours at +105°C; series described as “Low Impedance, High Reliability” for sustained elevated‑temperature operation.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 rated for designs requiring component qualification for automotive electronics.
• Radial Lead Package: φ12.5 × 15L can with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk/no terminal forming or bag packing for flexible assembly options.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified for −55°C to +105°C to support a broad range of environmental conditions.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suited for control modules and power circuitry where AEC‑Q200 qualification and long life at elevated temperature are required.
• DC/DC Converter Output Filtering: Bulk energy storage and smoothing on low‑voltage rails thanks to 1200 µF capacitance and high ripple current capability.
• Power Supply Decoupling: Local decoupling for regulator outputs and power distribution networks to reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response.
• Industrial Power Modules: Energy reservoir and filtering in industrial controllers and power electronics operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Demonstrated Endurance: 5000‑hour rated life at 105°C provides predictable aging and replacement planning for long‑lived products.
• Ripple‑Ready Performance: Explicit low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current specifications (762.6 mA at 120 Hz, 930 mA at 200 kHz) allow designers to match capacitor selection to converter and switching frequencies.
• Low Impedance Path: 60 mΩ impedance supports lower voltage drop and improved power efficiency in high‑current, low‑voltage designs.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ12.5 × 15L can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a compact radial solution for through‑hole assembly and retrofit designs.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Enables use in automotive systems where component qualification is required, reducing qualification effort for suppliers and integrators.
• Manufacturer Backing: Part of Nichicon’s UPM series, described as low impedance and high reliability, supporting consistent sourcing and datasheet traceability.
