UPS1A102MPD

The UPS1A102MPD is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for power filtering and decoupling in compact electronic designs. It belongs to Nichicon’s UPS series, engineered for switching power supplies and general purpose power applications that require low impedance and robust ripple handling.

With a 1,000 µF capacitance at 10 V, a wide operating temperature range of ‑55 °C to 105 °C, and rated endurance to 2,000 hours at 105 °C, the UPS1A102MPD targets embedded and power system designs where long‑term stability, heat tolerance, and compact footprint are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 10 V, suitable for bulk smoothing and decoupling in low‑voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance / Loss — Impedance of 140 mΩ and tan δ (DF) of 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing low ESR behaviour for improved transient and ripple performance.
• High Ripple Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 696 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current of 800 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective handling of switching currents in power supplies.
• Leakage Current Control — Specified leakage current of 300 µA, helping maintain predictable bias and low standby losses in power circuits.
• Thermal & Endurance Rating — Rated for continuous operation from ‑55 °C to 105 °C with endurance specified at 2,000 hours at 105 °C (φD = 10 mm), supporting reliable long‑term performance in elevated temperatures.
• Compact Radial Lead Package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assembly in space‑constrained boards; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, meeting environmental directive requirements noted in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple handling reduce voltage ripple on DC rails.
• Embedded Power Modules — Decoupling and energy storage in compact power modules and point‑of‑load converters operating across a wide temperature range.
• Industrial Control Electronics — Power filtering in controllers and instrumentation that require stable capacitance and controlled leakage at elevated temperatures.
• General Purpose Electronics — Through‑hole radial solutions for repairable or prototype boards needing a reliable 1,000 µF, 10 V capacitor in a small footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Miniature Can — 1,000 µF available in a φ10 × 16 mm package lets designers achieve bulk energy storage without large board area.
• Designed for Switching Environments — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (696 mA @120 Hz, 800 mA @10 kHz) match the demands of switching regulators and converters.
• Wide Temperature Endurance — Rated operation from ‑55 °C to 105 °C with 2,000‑hour endurance at 105 °C supports reliable operation in harsh thermal conditions.
• Predictable Electrical Characteristics — Defined tan δ (0.20 @20 °C, 120 Hz) and impedance (140 mΩ) simplify thermal and ripple loss budgeting in power designs.
• Through‑Hole Form Factor — Radial lead can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a straightforward through‑hole assembly option for manual or wave solder processes.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance helps meet environmental requirements for commercial and industrial products.
