UPM1A821MHD6

The UPM1A821MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, offering 820 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact radial-can package. It combines a high-capacitance footprint with low impedance and design parameters targeted at demanding environments.

Engineered for automotive applications, this polarized radial-lead capacitor provides extended endurance and stable electrical characteristics across a wide temperature range, supporting designs that require long-term reliability and effective ripple handling.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 820 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• Low Impedance & Loss: Measured impedance of 80 mOhm and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.19 at the specified rating, aiding in efficient AC ripple suppression.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 246 µA, providing predictable quiescent behavior after application of rated voltage.
• High Endurance: Rated for 5000 hours of life at +105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current, supporting long-term operation at elevated temperatures.
• Ripple Current Capacity: 561.6 mA at 120 Hz and 780 mA at 200 kHz, enabling handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Temperature & Qualification: Operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with φ12.5 × 15 mm dimensions, 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting; polarized construction.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suitable for automotive electronic systems where long life at elevated temperature and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.
• Power supply smoothing: Used for bulk energy storage and ripple reduction in DC power rails that need stable capacitance under load.
• Power-conditioning modules: Deployed in modules requiring reliable ripple-current handling across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Long-term thermal endurance: 5000 hours at +105°C supports sustained operation in high-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Explicit qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs requiring recognized component standards.
• Compact high capacitance: 820 µF in a φ12.5 × 15 mm radial can reduces board space compared with larger packages for the same capacitance.
• Predictable ripple performance: Documented ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz combined with 80 mOhm impedance help manage both low- and high-frequency ripple.
• Through-hole mounting convenience: Radial leads with 5 mm spacing simplify placement and mechanical retention for PCB assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements for commercial and automotive programs.
