UPS1C102MPD

The UPS1C102MPD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, part of Nichicon's UPS series of miniature, low‑impedance capacitors for switching power supplies and general‑purpose power filtering. It delivers 1000 µF at 16 V in a compact φ10×20 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for applications that require high ripple handling, wide temperature range and predictable endurance, this part combines a low impedance characteristic with a 2000‑hour life rating at 105°C and RoHS compliance for production use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1 mF (1000 µF) rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance Performance: Specified impedance of 110 mΩ to reduce AC voltage drop and improve transient response in power rails.
• Ripple Current Handling: Supports 870 mA low‑frequency ripple at 120 Hz and 1.0 A high‑frequency ripple at 10 kHz for switching and high‑frequency decoupling.
• Tangent of loss angle (tan δ): tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating, useful for loss budgeting in thermal design.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C (φD = 10 mm).
• Mechanical & Mounting: Radial lead can, φ10×20 mm (D×L) with 5 mm lead spacing and 0.5 mm lead spacing tolerance for through‑hole assembly.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 480 µA (measured conditions per product data).
• Packaging & Compliance: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — bulk filtering and output smoothing in compact switch‑mode power supply designs.
• DC–DC Converters — input/output decoupling and transient support where compact, high‑ripple capacitors are required.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — board‑level energy storage and ripple reduction across consumer and industrial power rails.
• Power Modules and Subsystems — localized smoothing in modules that operate across a wide temperature range and require long high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint with strong energy density: 1000 µF in a φ10×20 mm can enables bulk capacitance in space‑constrained designs.
• Low AC impedance: 110 mΩ rating helps minimize ripple voltage and improves converter stability under load transients.
• High ripple capability at both low and high frequency: Rated for 870 mA at 120 Hz and 1.0 A at 10 kHz to address switching and high‑frequency noise.
• Wide temperature window and proven endurance: −55°C to +105°C operating range with 2000 hours at 105°C supports long‑term operation in elevated temperatures.
• Through‑hole radial format: 5 mm lead spacing and a standard radial can simplify assembly and mechanical fixation in legacy and new designs.
• RoHS compliant with production packaging options: Bulk and bag packing choices help integrate into manufacturing and inventory workflows.
