UPM1C822MHD

The UPM1C822MHD is a radial-lead, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series designed for high-reliability power applications. It delivers 8.2 mF (8200 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ18 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for sustained operation in demanding environments, this part offers a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C, long endurance (5000 hours at 105 °C), and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 16 V operation.
• Low Impedance — 17 mΩ impedance helps reduce ripple-induced voltage drop in power rails.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 8.019 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.97 A at 200 kHz to support DC filtering and transient load demands.
• Endurance & Reliability — 5000 hours rated life at 105 °C under specified bias and ripple conditions, backed by the UPM series’ high-reliability design.
• Temperature Performance — Wide operating range from -55 °C to +105 °C for use across harsh ambient conditions.
• Measurement Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.30 at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current listed at 3936 µA for the part.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ18 × 40 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing.
• Automotive Grade & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated production environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Use for bulk smoothing and decoupling on 16 V power rails in automotive modules where long life at elevated temperature is required.
• Power supply filtering — Bulk energy storage and ripple reduction for DC/DC converters and intermediate power rails.
• Motor drive and control systems — Energy buffering and transient support in control circuitry subject to high ripple currents.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: The combination of 8.019 A (120 Hz) and 2.97 A (200 kHz) ripple ratings lets designers handle both low- and high-frequency ripple with a single component.
• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions supports durability in thermally demanding designs.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 17 mΩ impedance reduces losses and voltage sag, improving power integrity on critical rails.
• Automotive readiness: AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55 °C to +105 °C operating window make it suitable for automotive-grade power subsystems.
• Compact radial package: φ18 × 40 mm can and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify PCB layout for through-hole designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for use in regulated manufacturing environments.
