UPM1J180MED

The UPM1J180MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, designed for low impedance and high reliability in demanding environments. It is a polarized, radial-can capacitor rated at 63 V with 18 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance.

Targeted for automotive and other high-reliability applications, the part combines AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, and specified endurance under elevated temperature to support robust designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Ratings — 63 V rated voltage and 18 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.08 for the rated voltage, supporting low dissipation in AC/ripple environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 34.02 µA after voltage application at 20°C, suitable for stable bias performance.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance — Rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C for this part number.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm body with 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting.
• Reliability and Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning with stringent industry reliability and environmental requirements.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current: 50 mA at 120 Hz and 100 mA at 200 kHz, enabling use with varying ripple frequency conditions.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualified component for automotive electronic modules that require a compact radial electrolytic capacitor.
• Temperature-sensitive systems — Suitable where wide ambient range (-55°C to +105°C) and specified endurance at 105°C are required.
• Compact through-hole designs — Ideal for PCB layouts needing a small φ6.3×11 mm radial can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides documented series-level qualification for designs targeting automotive-grade reliability and traceable component selection.
• Wide temperature range: Operation from -55°C to +105°C supports demanding thermal environments and broad deployment scenarios.
• Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable space-efficient through-hole assembly without sacrificing capacitance and voltage rating.
• Low dissipation: 0.08 tan δ at rated voltage reduces power loss and heating under AC conditions, aiding thermal management.
• Measured leakage specification: 34.02 µA leakage current provides predictable bias behavior for sensitive circuits.
• Compliance and environmental readiness: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and sustainability requirements for product design.
