UPM1C271MPD6

The UPM1C271MPD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability. It provides 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding environments, the UPM1C271MPD6 delivers long-life performance with 5000 hours endurance at 105°C, measurable low-frequency and high-frequency ripple handling, and AEC-Q200 qualification for applications that require proven reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF at 16 V, tolerance −20% to +20%, suitable for mid-voltage energy storage and filtering tasks.
• Low Impedance Performance — Rated impedance of 140 mΩ with tanδ = 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting efficient AC ripple attenuation.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 267.9 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 470 mA (200 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in both low- and high-frequency domains.
• High Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance specified at 5000 hours at 105°C; capacitors meet lifecycle requirements after DC bias plus rated ripple current at elevated temperature.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Functional from −55°C to +105°C for use across demanding thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting simplifies through-hole assembly and prototyping; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and listed with AEC-Q200 in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required, providing capacitance for power rails and filtering.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used for decoupling and smoothing of DC-DC converters and regulator outputs, leveraging its low impedance and specified ripple current ratings.
• Embedded and Industrial Modules — Compact radial package and broad temperature range make it useful for embedded control boards and industrial electronics requiring reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Long High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Measurable Ripple Handling: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple currents (267.9 mA @120 Hz, 470 mA @200 kHz) let engineers size capacitors against real ripple loads.
• Compact Footprint: φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing offers high capacitance in a small through-hole package to save board area.
• Low Impedance and Controlled Loss: 140 mΩ impedance and tanδ = 0.16 at 20°C/120 Hz reduce voltage ripple and power dissipation in filtering applications.
• AEC-Q200 Listed & RoHS: Qualification and environmental compliance simplify selection for regulated and safety-conscious programs.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to support prototyping through production workflows.
