UPM1J120MDD

The UPM1J120MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon UPM series, specified at 12 µF and 63 V. It delivers low impedance and engineered reliability in a compact radial can package suitable for demanding environments.

Designed for automotive applications, this polarized capacitor combines a small footprint (φ5 × 11 mm / L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm), AEC‑Q200 rating, and a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C for dependable performance in electronic modules.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 12 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 63 V working voltage suitable for mid-voltage rail filtering and energy storage tasks.
• Low Loss — tanδ (DF) of 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient charge/discharge cycles.
• Ripple Current Handling — Specified low‑frequency ripple current of 36 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 72 mA at 200 kHz for AC ripple mitigation across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current specified as 22.68 µA, enabling predictable standby behavior and margining in bias circuits.
• Thermal & Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C with an endurance (life) rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and available in bulk/bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating supporting use in automotive electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualified polarized aluminum electrolytics with reliable performance across -55°C to 105°C.
• Power supply smoothing — Used where a compact 12 µF, 63 V capacitor is needed to reduce ripple and stabilize mid-voltage rails.
• Electronic control units — Fits radial‑lead footprints in control and sensor modules requiring specified leakage and ripple characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Enables use in automotive system designs that call out automotive-capable components.
• Compact radial can: φ5 × 11 mm size and 2 mm lead spacing allow high-density PCB layouts and straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tanδ, leakage current, and ripple current ratings make performance budgeting and margining more straightforward.
• Wide temperature range and rated life: -55°C to 105°C operation with a 2000 h endurance at 105°C supports applications exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Polarized aluminum solution: Traditional electrolytic characteristics for power-decoupling and bulk energy roles in mid-voltage circuits.
• Flexible packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing to accommodate prototyping and production handling preferences.
