UPM2A331MHD6

The UPM2A331MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial lead, aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPM series designed for applications requiring high voltage handling and extended high-temperature life. It offers 330 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with low impedance construction tailored for sustained operation in demanding thermal environments.

Targeted use cases include automotive and power electronics where durability, ripple handling, and stable performance at elevated temperatures are required. Key value propositions are low impedance, long load-life at high temperature, and AEC‑Q200 qualification for reliability in critical systems.

Key Features

• Core Type — Aluminum Electrolytic (Radial Lead) 330 µF capacitance in a radial, can-style package with 5.0 mm lead spacing and φ12.5 × 15 mm body dimensions.
• High Voltage Rating Rated at 100 V DC, suitable for higher-voltage power rails within the stated temperature and life limits.
• Low Impedance Specified impedance of 70 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.08, supporting effective filtering and decoupling.
• Robust Ripple Handling Ripple current capability of 730.8 mA at 120 Hz and 1.26 A at 200 kHz for reliable performance under AC ripple stress.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life Rated for 5000 hours at +105 °C, providing long-term stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Leakage Current and Tolerance Leakage current 990 µA (per 0.03·C·V rule) and capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Qualification and Compliance AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated production environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — 100 V rating, AEC‑Q200 qualification and 5000 h life at 105 °C make the UPM2A331MHD6 suitable for high-voltage automotive power circuits and modules.
• DC‑DC converters and power supplies — Low impedance (70 mΩ) and high ripple current ratings support smoothing, bulk energy storage, and output filtering on mid‑to‑high‑voltage rails.
• Industrial power systems — Extended endurance at elevated temperature for reliable operation in industrial power electronics and control equipment.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability: 100 V rating enables use on elevated DC rails where lower-voltage capacitors cannot be applied.
• Long High‑Temperature Endurance: 5000 hours at +105 °C provides predictable lifetime performance in hot operating environments.
• Low Impedance and Stable Loss Angle: 70 mΩ impedance and tan δ of 0.08 reduce ripple and losses, improving power-stage stability.
• Designed for Ripple Stress: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz support broad-use filtering from low to high ripple frequencies.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports integration into vehicle systems and other reliability‑sensitive applications.
• Production Ready and RoHS Compliant: Mass production status and RoHS compliance simplify procurement and regulatory compliance.
