UPM1J121MHD6

The UPM1J121MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series. It provides 120 µF capacitance at 63 V in a compact φ12.5×15 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing and is supplied in bulk (no terminal forming).

Designed for applications requiring low impedance and durable performance, this capacitor offers AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a 5000 hour load life at +105°C, making it suitable for demanding, high-reliability environments.

Key Features

• Core Performance — 120 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 63 V with capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• Low Loss — tanδ of 0.08 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C for this voltage class) for reduced dissipation in AC conditions.
• Low Impedance — impedance specified at 120 mΩ, supporting effective smoothing and energy storage in DC circuits.
• Leakage Current — specified leakage current of 226.8 µA after application of rated voltage, consistent with electrolytic performance expectations.
• Ripple Current Capability — 270.3 mA at 120 Hz and 510 mA at 200 kHz for handling AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• High-Temperature Endurance — rated operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 5000 hours at +105°C.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified for use in automotive electronics where that qualification is required.
• Package & Mounting — radial can package, polarized, φ12.5×15 mm size, 5 mm lead spacing, supplied in bulk without terminal forming for through-hole assembly.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 5000 hour load-life at +105°C make this capacitor suitable for electronic modules used in vehicles.
• Through‑hole board assemblies — radial-lead, φ12.5×15 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole placement and wire-through mounting.
• High-temperature environments — rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with long-term endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at +105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for thermally demanding designs.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports designs that require automotive-level component screening and reliability.
• Balanced electrical performance: Low impedance (120 mΩ) combined with low tanδ (0.08) helps minimize losses while maintaining effective capacitance under AC conditions.
• Broad ripple handling: Distinct ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across low and high frequency ripple environments.
• Practical through-hole format: Radial can with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk packaging simplifies prototyping and production through-hole assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures conformity with common environmental requirements.

Why Choose UPM1J121MHD6?
