UPM1C122MHD

The UPM1C122MHD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package from Nichicon’s UPM series. It delivers 1.2 mF (1200 µF) capacitance at 16 V in a compact radial-lead form factor designed for reliable power filtering in automotive electronics.

Engineered for low impedance and extended high-temperature endurance, this part offers a combination of 41 mΩ impedance, rated ripple current capability, and a specified 5000-hour load life at +105°C—features that support robust performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 41 mΩ supports effective high-frequency filtering and low-loss energy buffering.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple currents of 1.025 A at 120 Hz and 1.25 A at 200 kHz enable use in power-supply smoothing and decoupling circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Designed to withstand a 5000-hour load life at +105°C, providing extended reliability under elevated temperature operation.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 qualification for reliability in automotive electronic applications.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for broad thermal environments.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2.00 cm × D: 1.25 cm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk filtering and smoothing on vehicle power rails where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Engine Control and ECU Modules — Energy storage and decoupling to stabilize supply voltages in engine control and electronic control units.
• In-Vehicle Infotainment — Power conditioning for audio and display subsystems that demand low impedance and reliable ripple handling.
• Sensor and Actuator Power Circuits — Local energy buffering and transient suppression in automotive sensor and actuator electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High-Temperature Reliability: 5000-hour load life at +105°C supports long-term operation in elevated temperature automotive environments.
• Low Impedance, Low Loss: 41 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple and power loss, improving efficiency in power-management circuits.
• High Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz accommodate a range of switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides documented reliability credentials for vehicle electronics designs.
• Compact Through-Hole Packaging: Radial-can construction with 5 mm lead spacing and small footprint eases retrofit and PCB-layout integration for engineers.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
