UPM1K6R8MDD

The UPM1K6R8MDD is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability. This polarized, can-style capacitor delivers 6.8 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 80 V and is supplied in a compact φ5 × 11 mm package with 2 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding temperature and reliability requirements, the part offers a wide operating range of -55°C to 105°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable for robust electronic systems where stable capacitance, controlled dissipation, and low leakage matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 µF nominal capacitance rated for 80 V DC, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low dissipation factor — tanδ of 0.08 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting lower AC loss in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Ripple current performance — Low-frequency ripple current 17 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 34 mA at 200 kHz, specified for the part.
• Low leakage — Initial leakage current specified as 16.32 µA.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C with a rated life / endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & mounting — Radial lead, can package (φ5 × 11L), lead spacing 2.0 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole mounting and mechanical robustness.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rated; intended for applications requiring recognized component stress testing and reliability standards.
• Compliance & packaging — RoHS compliant; available as bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and -55°C to 105°C operation make the UPM1K6R8MDD suitable for automotive electronic modules that require stable capacitance across wide temperatures.
• Power supply filtering — 6.8 µF at 80 V with low tanδ and specified ripple currents supports decoupling and smoothing in DC power rails.
• Industrial control — Radial can package and robust endurance rating enable use in industrial assemblies where through-hole components are preferred for mechanical durability.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides an objective reliability baseline for designs targeting automotive and other high-reliability markets.
• Wide temperature capability: Rated from -55°C to 105°C to maintain performance across harsh thermal environments.
• Measured low loss: tanδ = 0.08 at 20°C/120 Hz, helping reduce AC dissipation in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Compact radial footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can with 2.0 mm lead spacing offers space-efficient through-hole mounting and simple mechanical attachment.
• Defined endurance: Specified 2000 hours at 105°C for predictable aging and lifecycle planning.
• Controlled leakage and ripple handling: Low initial leakage current (16.32 µA) and specified ripple currents for both low and high frequency conditions.
