UPM1E121MED

The UPM1E121MED is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPM series, offering a 120 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating. It is built for low impedance and high reliability in compact, through‑hole applications.

Designed for environments that demand wide operating temperatures and regulated ripple handling, this part targets electronic power filtering and decoupling tasks where a polarized, robust electrolytic capacitor is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 145.8 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 275 mA (200 kHz) to support smoothing and decoupling under AC stress.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 90 µA for minimized standby loss and predictable bias behavior.
• Temperature and Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with an endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead can, compact size φ6.3 × 15 mm length, lead spacing 2.5 mm; packaged in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for manual or through‑hole assembly.
• Qualification and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning with reliability expectations for regulated applications.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design appropriate for DC smoothing and energy‑storage tasks.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification, a −55°C to +105°C range, and a 25 V rating are required for power filtering and decoupling.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used for bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in DC power supplies thanks to its 120 µF capacitance and defined ripple‑current capabilities.
• Embedded and Industrial Control — Compact radial package and robust temperature rating make it appropriate for control boards that require stable capacitance across wide temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Provides an industry‑recognized level of reliability for regulated applications, supporting use in demanding environments.
• Wide Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C operation enables deployment across harsh ambient conditions without sacrificing performance.
• Balanced Ripple Handling: Defined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple ratings (145.8 mA @120 Hz, 275 mA @200 kHz) help designers size capacitors for both bulk and high‑frequency decoupling roles.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ6.3 × 15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing delivers a small footprint through‑hole solution for legacy and mixed‑technology assemblies.
• Low Leakage: Specified 90 µA leakage current supports low‑power standby conditions and predictable biasing behavior.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets chemical compliance requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
