UPM1A182MHD6

The UPM1A182MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, offering 1.8 mF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ16 × 15 mm can. The UPM series emphasizes low impedance and high reliability for demanding environments.

Designed for automotive applications, this part combines high ripple-current capability, extended operating temperature range, and long endurance to support designs that require robust power-handling in a small footprint.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.8 mF (1800 µF) rated at 10 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low impedance: 44 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage drop under transient and ripple conditions.
• High ripple-current capability: 1.245 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.27 A at 200 kHz (high frequency) for continuous ripple handling.
• Long endurance: 5000 hours rated life at +105°C, supporting prolonged operation at elevated temperature.
• Wide temperature range: Specified for −55°C to +105°C operating temperature.
• Reliability & compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for regulated environments.
• Loss characteristics: tanδ = 0.19 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and controlled leakage current (540 µA) for predictable performance.
• Packaging & mounting: Radial lead can (φ16×15L) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) / bag packing. Mass production status.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems: Suited to automotive electronic modules that require components with AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range (−55°C to +105°C).
• Power circuits with sustained ripple: Applicable where continuous ripple-current handling (1.245 A at 120 Hz, 1.27 A at 200 kHz) and low impedance (44 mΩ) are required.
• Compact module designs: The φ16×15 mm radial can and 7.5 mm lead spacing enable board-level placement in space-constrained assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies reduce the need for parallel components in ripple-heavy circuits.
• Low ESR/impedance: 44 mΩ impedance improves voltage stability under load and helps minimize heat generation in power stages.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000 hours at +105°C offers durability for long-duty applications and elevated ambient conditions.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 listing supports use in designs that require automotive reliability standards.
• Compact form factor: φ16×15 mm can with radial leads provides a high capacitance density for size-constrained designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental qualification and sourcing for regulated markets.
