UPS2E100MPD

The UPS2E100MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power applications. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor delivering 10 µF at 250 V in a compact package suited for dense through-hole layouts.

Engineered for broad operating conditions, this RoHS-compliant capacitor offers a wide operating temperature range and defined ripple-current performance, making it a practical choice for power filtering and decoupling in a variety of electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing defined energy storage for high-voltage circuits.
• Low Impedance Performance: Marketed as low-impedance for switching power supplies; specified ripple current ratings of 88 mA (120 Hz) and 140.8 mA (10 kHz) quantify its AC handling capability.
• Thermal and Lifetime Characteristics: Operating temperature range of –40°C to 105°C and a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, enabling reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2 cm × D: 1 cm), suitable for through-hole assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Polarized Design: Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC power applications where polarity is defined.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Used for output smoothing and decoupling where low impedance and compact size help manage ripple and noise in high-frequency converters.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Employed in general-purpose DC filtering tasks across consumer and industrial electronics requiring a compact, polarized electrolytic solution.
• Through-Hole PCB Assemblies: Suitable for designs that use radial-lead components and require reliable, serviceable power components in a small footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage option: 250 V rating in a 10 µF miniature can enables use where higher DC voltages and small package size are both required.
• Quantified ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate AC stress and thermal loading precisely.
• Wide operating range: –40°C to 105°C operation provides usable performance across common industrial and commercial temperature conditions.
• Short-term high-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C offers a measurable reliability metric for thermal lifecycle planning.
• Through-hole ease of use: Radial lead, can package with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies mechanical anchoring and repairability on PCB assemblies.
• RoHS compliant: Meets common environmental regulatory requirements for lead-free electronic assemblies.
