UPM1H120MDD

The UPM1H120MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPM series, offering a compact φ5 × 11 mm can with 2 mm lead spacing. It provides 12 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with polarized construction and ±20% tolerance.

Designed for applications demanding stable performance across temperature and frequency, this part delivers defined ripple current ratings, low leakage, and a -55 °C to 105 °C operating range. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 12 µF rated capacitance at 50 V for energy storage and decoupling in compact circuits.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can package sized φ5 × 11 mm with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suited to through-hole board mounting.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature from -55 °C to 105 °C for use across wide environmental conditions.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low-frequency ripple current 31 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 62 mA at 200 kHz to support both mains-frequency smoothing and switching-regulator decoupling.
• Low Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.1 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 18 µA, supporting stable filtering performance.
• Polarized Design & Tolerance — Polar capacitor with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable behavior in DC circuits.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Rated for applications requiring AEC-Q200 components.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match procurement and assembly preferences.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for electronic modules that require AEC-Q200-rated components and operation across -55 °C to 105 °C.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Local decoupling and smoothing for DC-DC converters and linear regulators, leveraging defined ripple current specs at both low and high frequencies.
• Sensor and Control Modules — Compact radial package fits small control boards where stable capacitance and low leakage are important.
• General Through-Hole Designs — Through-hole radial mounting for legacy boards and robust mechanical retention in vibration-prone environments.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Enables use in designs that require automotive-grade componentry and qualification traceability.
• Frequency-Spanning Ripple Ratings: Rated ripple current at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz allows confident selection for mains-frequency filtering and high-frequency switching applications.
• Compact Footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can and 2 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area while delivering 12 µF capacitance at 50 V.
• Wide Temperature Capability: -55 °C to 105 °C operation supports deployment across harsh ambient conditions.
• Low Loss and Leakage: tan δ = 0.1 and 18 µA leakage help maintain stable filtering and minimize standby losses.
• Flexible Packaging: Bulk or bag packing options simplify handling for small-volume builds or higher-volume assembly.
