UPM2A270MPD

The UPM2A270MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series engineered for low impedance and reliable performance in demanding environments. It delivers 27 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ8 × 15 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for applications that require robust high-voltage smoothing and decoupling under elevated temperatures, the device combines a wide operating temperature range (‑55°C to 105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and a rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C for compact case sizes.

Key Features

• Electrical Core — 27 µF capacitance at 100 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher-voltage decoupling and energy storage in compact circuits.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — Rated tan δ of 0.08 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and an impedance of 470 mOhm to minimize dissipation and improve filtering performance.
• Leakage and Ripple Performance — Specified leakage current of 81 µA and ripple current ratings of 80 mA at 120 Hz and 160 mA at 200 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C for the specified case sizes, providing predictable life under elevated-temperature load conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ8 × 15 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Environmental & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated and qualification-driven designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic control units (ECUs) — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 100 V rails and intermediate power stages where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.
• Automotive power electronics — Input/output filtering for DC‑DC converters and power modules benefiting from the capacitor’s 100 V rating and ripple current capability.
• Sensor and actuator modules — Local energy buffering and noise suppression in modules exposed to wide temperature swings (‑55°C to 105°C).

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 Qualified: Explicit qualification for automotive environments supports use in designs that require industry-recognized component reliability.
• Compact High‑Voltage Package: 100 V rating in a φ8 × 15 mm radial can delivers higher-voltage capacity in a small footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Low Impedance and Controlled Losses: 470 mOhm impedance and tan δ = 0.08 (120 Hz, 20°C) reduce heat generation and improve filtering effectiveness.
• Defined High‑Temperature Life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for elevated-temperature applications and design life planning.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (80 mA at 120 Hz, 160 mA at 200 kHz) enable designers to size capacitors against real ripple stress.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in products targeting regulated markets and simplifies environmental compliance.
