UPM1C272MHD6

The UPM1C272MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability. It delivers 2700 µF at 16 V in a compact φ16 × 25 mm can and is optimized for applications requiring high ripple handling, extended endurance, and wide temperature operation.

Designed for automotive and other demanding environments, the device combines a long rated life with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance to support robust power filtering and energy-storage duties where space is constrained.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2700 µF (2.7 mF) rated at 16 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in compact designs.
• Low Impedance Performance: Rated impedance of 30 mΩ to minimize voltage drop and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 2.403 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.97 A at 200 kHz (high frequency) to handle ripple and switching currents effectively.
• Long Endurance: 5000 hours at +105°C rated life for extended operation under elevated temperatures.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C to support a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Package: φ16 × 25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole assembly.
• Electrical Characteristics: tanδ 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current 1296 µA; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• Quality & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supplied in bulk or bag packing and available in mass production quantities.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suited for automotive power modules and electronic control units where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range, and high ripple capability are required.
• Power Supply Filtering: Used where bulk capacitance and low impedance are needed to smooth DC rails and absorb switching transients.
• Embedded Systems with Space Constraints: Compact φ16 × 25 mm radial can provides substantial capacitance in a small footprint for densely packed boards.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High-Temperature Life: 5000-hour endurance at +105°C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in high-heat environments.
• High Ripple Tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies improve reliability in switching and automotive power applications.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 30 mΩ impedance supports improved voltage stability and lower losses in power circuits.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Industry-recognized qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs and other demanding applications.
• Compact, Through-Hole Mounting: Radial lead can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies assembly for through-hole and serviceable designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious designs and supply-chain requirements.
