UPM1C182MHD6

The UPM1C182MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, offering low impedance and high reliability in a compact radial-can package. With 1800 µF capacitance at 16 V, radial leads and a φ16 × 20 mm can, it is intended for applications that require robust energy storage and sustained ripple handling in demanding thermal environments.

Key value propositions include high ripple-current capability, extended high-temperature endurance (5,000 hours at 105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance—making this part suitable for automotive and other high-reliability systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,800 µF (1.8 mF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 37 mΩ helps reduce voltage ripple and supports effective smoothing in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.499 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.53 A (200 kHz) for demanding ripple-handling applications.
• Long High‑Temperature Endurance — Life/endurance rating of 5,000 hours at +105°C under specified load conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified to operate from −55°C to +105°C.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualification and series-level high-reliability design intent.
• Radial Lead, Compact Package — φ16 mm diameter × 20 mm length can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for through‑hole PCB mounting and bulk/bag packing options.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Measured leakage current ~864 µA and tan δ max 0.16 (measurement condition: 20°C, 120 Hz), reflecting predictable electrical behavior for filtering and storage functions.
• Standards & Environmental — RoHS compliant; printed marking on dark brown sleeve for identification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 5,000 h endurance at 105°C support use in automotive electrical systems that require sustained reliability at elevated temperatures.
• Power Supply Smoothing — 1,800 µF capacitance and low impedance (37 mΩ) provide bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in power rails and converters handling up to ~1.53 A ripple.
• High‑Temperature Embedded Systems — Specified operation from −55°C to +105°C and long life at high temperature make this capacitor suitable for electronics exposed to wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High‑Temperature Endurance: 5,000-hour rated life at 105°C delivers predictable aging performance for long-term designs.
• High Ripple Handling: Nearly 1.5 A ripple capability at 120 Hz and 1.53 A at 200 kHz reduces thermal stress and improves power-stage stability.
• Compact Radial Can: φ16 × 20 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing balances board space efficiency with through‑hole mounting robustness.
• Automotive-Ready Qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports deployment in vehicular systems requiring automotive-grade components.
• Low Loss and Predictable Leakage: Tan δ of 0.16 (16 V) and measured leakage current align with series characteristics for reliable filtering and decoupling.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained designs and supply-chain requirements.
