UPM2F100MHD

The UPM2F100MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series. It is a polarized, low-impedance capacitor specified at 100 µF and 315 V, designed for high-reliability power applications where sustained performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Key use cases include automotive power systems and other demanding applications that require AEC-Q200 qualification, long endurance at high temperature, and defined ripple/ leakage characteristics. The device delivers a 5000 hour rated life at 105°C and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• High Voltage / Capacitance: 100 µF nominal capacitance rated for 315 V DC, providing energy storage and filtering at high bus voltages.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation under thermal stress.
• Low Impedance / Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ = 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize dissipation factor under standard test conditions.
• Ripple and Leakage Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 98 mA (120 Hz), high-frequency ripple current 156.8 mA (200 kHz), and leakage current 226 µA—parameters useful for power filter and hold-up calculations.
• Package and Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with size φ12.5 × 20 mm length and lead spacing 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm). Packaging options include bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.
• Automotive Qualification and Compliance: AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, suitable for designs requiring recognized automotive component qualification.
• Polarized Design & Tolerance: Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• Product Status: End Of Life—suitable for maintenance, legacy BOM support, and qualification of existing designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics: Bulk energy storage and smoothing for high-voltage automotive subsystems, leveraging the 315 V rating and AEC-Q200 qualification.
• Power conversion and DC bus filtering: High-voltage filtering and decoupling where 100 µF capacitance and defined ripple currents are required.
• High-temperature environments: Locations that demand sustained performance at up to 105°C for extended endurance periods (specified 5000 hours).

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance: 5000 hour life at 105°C supports long-term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides confidence for integration into automotive systems and related high-reliability designs.
• Compact high-voltage solution: 315 V rating in a φ12.5 × 20 mm radial-can package enables high-voltage design in a small footprint.
• Measured ripple and leakage data: Published low- and high-frequency ripple currents and leakage current allow accurate thermal and performance margin calculations.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead-free assemblies.
• Multiple packing options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to suit production and prototyping workflows.

Why Choose UPM2F100MHD?

UPM2F100MHD combines a high voltage rating (315 V) with robust thermal endurance (5000 hours at 105°C) and AEC-Q200 qualification, making it appropriate for demanding power-management roles in automotive and high-reliability systems. Its defined ripple current, leakage, and dissipation-factor specifications support engineering-level selection and margining in power supply and DC-bus designs.

Although the part is currently End Of Life, it remains a practical choice for maintenance, legacy system qualification, and engineering analysis where established performance data and series-level characteristics from the UPM family are required.
