The UPM2A271MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, featuring a 270 µF capacitance at 100 V rated voltage in a radial lead can. It combines low impedance and high-temperature endurance for demanding environments.

Designed for applications requiring long-term reliability, the part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with a 5000 hour load life at +105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF rated capacitance at 100 V with ±20% tolerance, suited to energy storage and decoupling needs within its rating.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 72 mΩ, enabling improved transient response and reduced internal losses.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at +105 °C (as specified for this series), supporting extended operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — Supports 684 mA at 120 Hz and 1.2 A at 200 kHz, providing robust performance under AC ripple conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can with 12.5 mm diameter and 25 mm length, 5 mm lead spacing, for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB integration.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting industry environmental and automotive qualification expectations.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational range from −55 °C to +105 °C for use across varied thermal conditions.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Suitable where AEC-Q200 qualification and +105 °C endurance are required for reliable operation.
• High-temperature environments — Used in assemblies that must tolerate sustained elevated temperatures while maintaining capacitance and leakage performance.
• Low-impedance power systems — Applied where low ESR/impedance and defined ripple current capability improve transient handling and power stability.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature life: 5000 hour load life at +105 °C delivers predictable long-term performance in heat-stressed designs.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Formal series-level qualification supports use in automotive applications that require industry-recognized reliability standards.
• Low series impedance: 72 mΩ impedance reduces losses and improves regulator and power-stage performance.
• Measured ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and lifetime planning under AC stress.
• Compact radial can: 12.5 mm diameter and 25 mm length in a radial lead package simplifies through-hole assembly while keeping a small PCB footprint.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
