UPS2C3R3MPD

The UPS2C3R3MPD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose electronic applications. It is a polarized, radial-lead can that delivers 3.3 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact package.

Engineered for broad operating conditions, the part supports an operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C and is RoHS compliant. Key electrical and mechanical attributes—compact dimensions, radial lead spacing, defined ripple-current performance and a 2000-hour lifetime at 105 °C—make it suitable for space-constrained power-filtering roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 3.3 µF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage, enabling use where high-voltage, small-capacitance filtering is required.
• Low-Impedance Design: Miniature, low-impedance construction optimized for switching power supply filtering and decoupling.
• Thermal Range and Endurance: Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 36 mA at 120 Hz and 57.6 mA at 10 kHz, supporting typical power-supply ripple conditions.
• Compact Radial Package: Radial lead, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm), suitable for through-hole PCB implementations.
• Polarized Component: Polarized electrolytic design for conventional DC filtering applications; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• Environmental Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Local bulk and output filtering in switch-mode power supplies where a compact, high-voltage capacitor is required.
• DC-DC Converters and Power Modules — Decoupling and ripple suppression in regulated power stages using radial through-hole mounting.
• Industrial Control Electronics — Power-filtering in compact control boards operating across a wide temperature range up to 105 °C.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Small-footprint, polarized capacitance for board-level power management and filtering tasks.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage in a Small Footprint: 160 V rating combined with 3.3 µF capacitance provides high-voltage capability without a large package, saving PCB space.
• Designed for Power-Filtering: Low-impedance construction and defined ripple-current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help reduce output ripple in switching applications.
• Compact Radial Lead Form Factor: 3.5 mm lead spacing and a radial, can-style package simplify through-hole assembly and retrofit into existing power boards.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40 °C to 105 °C rating supports deployment across a range of environmental conditions common to industrial and power electronics.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C provides a measurable reliability baseline for thermal-stressed designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
