UPM1E181MPD6

The UPM1E181MPD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can design from Nichicon’s UPM series. It provides 180 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with a polarized configuration and low-impedance construction.

Engineered for automotive electronics and other demanding environments, this part combines a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a 5000-hour load life at 105°C to deliver reliable performance where long-term stability is required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 180 µF capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance; low impedance specification of 150 mΩ and tan δ of 0.14 help maintain stable AC performance.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 243 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 450 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency) support applications with continuous or switching ripple loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 135 µA to help minimize standby losses and meet predictable bias current budgets.
• Reliability & Lifetime — 5000 hours load life at +105°C, consistent with the UPM series’ emphasis on high reliability under elevated-temperature stress.
• Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance, indicating suitability for qualified automotive applications and regulatory compliance for lead-free requirements.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (can) package, physical size φ10 × 12.5 mm length, 5 mm lead spacing, supplied in bulk with no terminal forming for high-volume assembly.
• Operating Range — Wide category temperature range from -55°C to +105°C for use across harsh thermal conditions.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — Suited for electronic control units and modules that require a 25 V polarized capacitor with AEC-Q200 qualification and extended high-temperature life.
• In-vehicle Power Systems — Useful where low impedance and specified ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies are required to support power conditioning and smoothing.
• Automotive Auxiliary Electronics — Applicable for supporting bias and decoupling functions in validated automotive subsystems within the -55°C to +105°C operating window.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life — 5000 hours at +105°C provides predictable aging and durability in elevated-temperature automotive environments.
• Low-impedance design — 150 mΩ impedance and a 0.14 tan δ value contribute to improved AC performance and reduced voltage drop under ripple conditions.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability — Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to size the capacitor for both mains-frequency and switching-frequency applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports integration into automotive systems that require qualified components.
• Compact radial can — φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk/no terminal forming offers a space-efficient option for through-hole assembly and high-volume production.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for lead-free manufacturing requirements.
