UPS2C010MED

The UPS2C010MED from Nichicon is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package, designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power applications. It offers a compact footprint and a polarized radial-lead mounting style suited to space-conscious board layouts.

Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance of 1 µF at a rated voltage of 160 V, a wide operating temperature range, and defined ripple-current ratings for both low and high frequency operation, making it suitable where moderate ripple handling and long-term endurance at elevated temperature are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1 µF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage, providing a high-voltage option in a small package for power circuits.
• Miniature Radial Can Package: Radial lead mounting with compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing for tight PCB layouts.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C, suitable for applications that require extended ambient temperature range.
• Ripple Current Performance: Specified ripple current of 17 mA at 120 Hz and 27.2 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Endurance: Lifetime specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C, providing predictable long-term performance under rated conditions.
• Polarized for Power Circuits: Polarized electrolytic design for DC power smoothing and decoupling in polarized circuits.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Specifically intended for use in switching power supply designs where a miniature, low-impedance polarized capacitor is required.
• General-Purpose Power Circuits: Suitable for general-purpose DC power applications that require a compact electrolytic capacitor with defined endurance characteristics.
• Space-Constrained Modules: Miniature dimensions and radial-lead package make it appropriate for compact power modules and small PCB footprints.
• High-Voltage Power Rails: 160 V rating enables use on higher-voltage DC rails within the capacitor’s specified operating range.

Unique Advantages

• Compact High-Voltage Option: Combines a 160 V rating with a 1 µF value in a small radial-can footprint, enabling higher-voltage designs without a large board area penalty.
• Defined Ripple Capability: Published ripple-current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across typical low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Wide Temperature Endurance: Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C operation with a 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C, helping ensure predictable life under thermal stress.
• Standard Radial Mounting: 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial-can package simplify through-hole assembly and compatibility with common PCB processes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements in many markets.
