UPM1C331MPD6

The UPM1C331MPD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPM series, offered in a radial-lead can package. It provides 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating and is optimized for applications that require durable performance across a wide temperature range.

With AEC-Q200 qualification, a rated temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C and a 5000-hour endurance at 105 °C, this part is targeted at automotive and other high-reliability electronic systems where long life, stable electrical characteristics and compact size matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & voltage: 330 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Low impedance performance: Specified impedance of 120 mΩ supports stable rail behavior in compact power designs.
• Loss characteristic (tan δ): tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (at 16 V), enabling predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Ripple current capability: Low-frequency ripple current 295.8 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 510 mA (200 kHz) for handling mixed-frequency ripple environments.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage of 158.4 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• High reliability endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105 °C (endurance conditions per series specification).
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rated for use in qualifying automotive electronics applications.
• Compact radial-lead package: Can package φ10 × 12.5 mm length, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and bulk/bag packing options.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling for vehicle electronic power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• On-board module decoupling — Compact radial package and low impedance make it suitable for localized energy storage on compact PCBs in automotive electronics.
• High-temperature systems — Endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105 °C and operating range down to -55 °C support use in temperature-extreme environments found in vehicle electronics.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Dual ripple specifications (295.8 mA at 120 Hz and 510 mA at 200 kHz) let designers account for both low- and high-frequency ripple in mixed-signal power systems.
• Long-duration reliability: 5000-hour rated life at 105 °C provides predictable long-term performance in sustained high-temperature operating conditions.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Formal AEC-Q200 rating supports selection for automotive electronics and other demanding qualification flows.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing delivers substantial capacitance in a small radial-lead form factor for space-constrained boards.
• Measured electrical clarity: Explicit specifications for impedance, tanδ and leakage current allow straightforward thermal and electrical budgeting in designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction simplifies integration into certified product assemblies.
