UPM2A121MHD6

The UPM2A121MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, supplied as a radial‑lead can (φ16×15 mm). It delivers 120 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with polarized construction and is RoHS compliant.

Designed for demanding environments, this part combines low impedance and defined ripple handling with long endurance — including a 5000‑hour load life at 105°C — making it suited for automotive electronic systems and other high‑reliability applications that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide operating temperatures.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 120 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance; rated for 100 V DC; impedance 140 mΩ and tanδ 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple & Leakage — Specified ripple current of 283.6 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 535 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency); leakage current specified at 360 µA.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life rated to 5000 hours at 105°C; endurance characteristics documented for capacitance, tanδ and leakage after high‑temperature bias testing.
• Temperature & Qualification — Operating range from -55°C to 105°C; AEC‑Q200 qualified for demanding applications.
• Package & Mechanical — Radial lead can, size φ16×15L (diameter × length), lead spacing 7.5 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification combined with -55°C to 105°C operation supports use in vehicle electronics that require qualified components.
• On-board power systems — 100 V rating and 120 µF capacitance with defined ripple current figures make the part suitable where stable filtering and energy storage at elevated temperatures are required.
• High-reliability embedded systems — Long load‑life endurance (5000 h at 105°C) and controlled leakage/tanδ characteristics support designs demanding extended thermal stress performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance operation: 140 mΩ impedance and tanδ 0.08 (120 Hz, 20°C) reduce AC losses under ripple conditions.
• High-voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage sections of systems without up‑rating multiple lower‑voltage parts.
• Specified ripple handling: Published ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clear guidance for both low‑ and high‑frequency power environments.
• Extended thermal endurance: 5000 hours of load life at 105°C demonstrates sustained performance under prolonged high‑temperature bias.
• Automotive qualification and temperature range: AEC‑Q200 rating and -55°C to 105°C specified operation support automotive and other temperature‑stressed deployments.
• Compact radial lead package: φ16×15 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a space‑efficient, through‑hole mounting option with bulk or bag packing flexibility.
