UPM1C820MED

The UPM1C820MED is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPM series, supplied in a radial‑lead can package. It provides 82 µF of capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm footprint and 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding environments, the part combines AEC‑Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range (‑55°C to 105°C), and low dissipation factor characteristics to meet reliability-focused electronic designs in the automotive sector.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a capacitance tolerance of ‑20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss / Dissipation — Specified tanδ (DF) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting low-loss operation where DF is a selection criterion.
• Ripple Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 80.6 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 155 mA at 200 kHz, enabling defined ripple handling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 39.36 µA, supporting predictable leakage behavior after rated voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from ‑55°C to 105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at elevated temperature for this part variant.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating indicated in the product specifications for use in designs requiring automotive-grade components.
• Package & Form Factor — Radial lead (can) package, size φ6.3 × 11 mm, lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm); available in bulk/no terminal forming or bag packing.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS‑compliant per product environmental data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive — For automotive electronic designs where an AEC‑Q200 qualified, miniature radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required and where operation from ‑55°C to 105°C is specified.
• Automotive — Suitable for automotive modules that require compact, polarized capacitors with defined ripple current and leakage specifications.
• Automotive — Fits through‑hole assemblies needing a small‑footprint radial can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and predictable endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Provides the traceable qualification level expected for automotive component selection.
• Compact, Polar Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing make the part suitable where PCB space and through‑hole mounting are constraints.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated from ‑55°C to 105°C to support designs exposed to broad temperature extremes.
• Defined Ripple Handling — Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current values (80.6 mA at 120 Hz; 155 mA at 200 kHz) enable predictable performance across frequency ranges.
• Predictable Loss Characteristics — tanδ = 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides a quantifiable dissipation factor for design evaluation.
• RoHS Compliant — Environmentally compliant construction simplifies regulatory evaluation for assemblies.
