UPM2C101MHD

The UPM2C101MHD is a Nichicon UPM series aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial‑lead can. It is engineered for low impedance and sustained operation in demanding environments, with a rated operating range down to -40°C and up to 105°C.

Designed for applications that require durability and ripple handling, the UPM2C101MHD delivers a defined leakage current and measured loss tangent while meeting AEC‑Q200 qualification. Note: this part is currently listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low‑voltage board‑level power applications.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — tan δ specified at 0.16 (max) for the 16 V rating, supporting efficient AC performance.
• Leakage Current — Characterized leakage current of 740 µA (as listed for this part).
• Endurance — 5000 hours load life at 105°C when operated under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — 330 mA at 120 Hz and 528 mA at 200 kHz, supporting board‑level ripple handling requirements.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can package sized Ø16 × 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 × D: 1.6 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; shipped in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Qualification and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
• Polarized — Conventional polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for correct polarity applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 105°C endurance rating make this capacitor suitable for selected automotive electronic modules where a 100 µF / 16 V radial capacitor is specified.
• Power Filtering and Decoupling — 100 µF capacitance combined with rated ripple current values supports board‑level smoothing and decoupling tasks in low‑voltage power rails.
• Industrial Control — Designed for applications that require sustained operation at elevated temperatures and defined leakage and loss characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging and life characteristics for thermal stress applications.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification — Explicit qualification for AEC‑Q200 signals suitability for designs targeting automotive and similarly demanding environments where that qualification is required.
• Measured Ripple and Loss Data — Published ripple current values (330 mA @120 Hz, 528 mA @200 kHz) and tan δ (0.16) enable clear thermal and AC performance planning.
• Compact Radial Can Format — Ø16 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing fits common through‑hole placements while providing substantial capacitance in a small footprint.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free environmental compliance.

Why Choose UPM2C101MHD?

UPM2C101MHD is positioned for engineers who need a reliable, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can for temperature‑stressed and AEC‑Q200 qualified designs. Its combination of 100 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, quantified ripple performance, and 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C helps simplify component selection where defined thermal and AC behaviors are required.

Because this part is End Of Life, it is particularly relevant for maintenance, repair, and legacy designs where an exact form‑fit‑function replacement is necessary, or for evaluation in projects where its stated specifications match the design requirement.
