UPV1A101MGD

The UPV1A101MGD from Nichicon is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPV series. It is a polarized, radial-lead (can) package designed for general-purpose electronic use where a compact, high-reliability smoothing or energy-storage capacitor is required.

Key value propositions include a 100 µF / 10 V rating in a small footprint, a wide operating temperature range from −55 °C to +105 °C, and proven endurance of 5000 hours under rated load at +105 °C—making it suitable for designs that demand long-term stability in elevated temperatures. The part is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 10 V, polarized design for DC filtering and energy storage in compact circuits.
• Miniature Radial Package — Radial, can-style package with lead spacing of 2.5 mm and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) for space-constrained PCBs.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C with a specified load-life of 5000 hours at +105 °C, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling — Designed for low impedance; specified ripple current capability of 117.6 mA at 120 Hz and 210 mA at 200 kHz to support smoothing and decoupling tasks.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C (matches product tolerance of −20% to +20%).
• Low Leakage — Series leakage specification: after one minute at rated voltage and 20 °C, leakage current is not more than 0.03 × C × V (µA), providing predictable leakage behavior for design margining.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — A compact polarized capacitor for smoothing and bulk storage in a wide range of board-level designs labeled as general purpose.
• Elevated-temperature installations — Circuits that require sustained operation up to +105 °C and a 5000-hour load-life specification for long-term stability.
• Compact radial-lead assemblies — PCB assemblies that need a small can-style radial component with 2.5 mm lead spacing and a minimal footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient form factor: Small L×D footprint (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and radial leads reduce board area without sacrificing capacitance.
• High-temperature reliability: 5000 hours load-life at +105 °C minimizes maintenance and replacement risk in thermally demanding environments.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current specified by the 0.03×C×V formula after voltage application simplifies worst-case current budgeting.
• Measured ripple capability: Specified ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated markets and reduces materials compliance overhead.
