UPM1C121MED

The UPM1C121MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, offering 120 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It targets demanding electronics that require AEC-Q200 qualification, wide operating temperature range, and compact radial-can packaging.

Designed for reliability and stable performance across −55 °C to +105 °C, this part combines AEC-Q200 qualification, a 2000‑hour endurance at 105 °C, and measurable ripple-current capability for robust power-filtering and decoupling roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage and decoupling behavior.
• Automotive‑grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification is specified in the product data, supporting use in automotive electronics designs that require qualified passive components.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified operation from −55 °C to +105 °C to cover broad environmental conditions.
• Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C under specified bias and ripple conditions for long-term stability in high‑temperature environments.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 at the 16 V rating and specified leakage current of 57.6 µA provide quantifiable loss and leakage behavior for system budgeting.
• Ripple Current Capability — Ripple current ratings of 103.3 mA at 120 Hz and 195 mA at 200 kHz to support AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (radial lead) suits tight PCB footprints and through‑hole mounting.
• Regulatory Compliance & Packaging — RoHS‑compliant material status; available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing options.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — For systems that require components qualified to AEC‑Q200 and rated for −55 °C to +105 °C operation, supporting power-smoothing and decoupling functions at 120 µF / 16 V.
• Space‑constrained assemblies — Compact φ6.3 × 11 mm radial-can form factor with 2.5 mm lead spacing for dense through‑hole layouts.
• High-temperature power circuits — Specified 2000‑hour endurance at 105 °C and defined ripple-current ratings make the part suitable for applications exposed to elevated operating temperatures and continuous ripple stress.

Unique Advantages
