UPM1C272MHD

The UPM1C272MHD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, designed for high‑reliability power applications. It delivers 2700 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 35.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for long life and demanding environments, this AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS‑compliant capacitor supports high ripple currents and extended endurance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for automotive and other embedded power designs that require robust through‑hole capacitors.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 2700 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V; impedance of 25 mΩ helps minimize voltage drop under load.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.44 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 2.00 A (200 kHz) for effective smoothing and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Loss and Leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.18 measured at 20°C/120 Hz and specified leakage current 1296 µA, providing predictable AC and DC behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Designed for 5000 hours of load life at +105°C; meets endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage recovery after life testing.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for −55°C to +105°C to support operation across harsh temperature ranges.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can package (φ12.5 × 35.5 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through‑hole mounting and secure mechanical retention.
• Manufacturing & Compliance — Mass production status, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance for regulated applications and volume availability.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and handling preferences.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualified capacitor for vehicle electronics that require a 16 V, high‑capacitance through‑hole solution with long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk energy storage and output filtering on DC power rails where high ripple current handling and low impedance improve voltage stability.
• Embedded & Industrial Systems — Through‑hole power decoupling in controllers, power modules, and other systems operating between −55°C and +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Rated for 2.44 A (120 Hz) and 2.00 A (200 kHz), enabling reliable smoothing under varying frequency loads.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5000 hours at +105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for demanding deployments.
• Low Impedance: 25 mΩ impedance reduces AC losses and improves transient response in power systems.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Explicit AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in automotive system designs requiring component qualification.
• Compact Through‑Hole Form Factor: φ12.5 × 35.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing fits space‑constrained boards while retaining robust capacitance.
• Production‑Ready & Compliant: Mass production availability and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and regulatory acceptance.
