UPM1C391MPD6

The UPM1C391MPD6 from Nichicon is a radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPM series, offering 390 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Engineered for applications that require durable bulk capacitance in compact can-style packaging, it combines low impedance, defined ripple handling and extended high-temperature endurance.

Designed for demanding environments, this component is suited to systems that operate across a wide temperature range and require long life and reliability, backed by AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 390 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 100 mΩ, delivering reduced voltage ripple under load and supporting stable power delivery.
• Ripple Current Handling: Low-frequency ripple current 342 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 570 mA (200 kHz), providing clear, quantified ripple performance for design margining.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, enabling extended operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Loss Characteristics: tanδ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable dissipation characteristics in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 187.2 µA, useful for power-budget and standby current considerations.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead (can) package, size φ10 × 16 mm length, lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk/bag packing for production and prototyping.
• Compliance & Qualification: AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, meeting industry-standard requirements for regulated markets.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in control modules and power rails where 5000 h endurance at 105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.
• Power management subsystems: Decoupling and output smoothing in DC–DC converters and regulators, taking advantage of the component’s low impedance and specified ripple current ratings.
• Industrial control: Bulk capacitance for controllers and sensor hubs operating across -55°C to 105°C, leveraging the extended temperature range and long life.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at 105°C supports designs requiring sustained reliability in hot environments.
• Quantified ripple performance: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (342 mA @120 Hz, 570 mA @200 kHz) let engineers size capacitors to real circuit ripple conditions.
• Low impedance for stable power: 100 mΩ impedance reduces voltage drop and improves transient response on power rails.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating enables use in regulated automotive designs that mandate qualified components.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint with easy through-hole mounting for prototype and production assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regions and products requiring restricted substance controls.
