UPV1A181MGD

The UPV1A181MGD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPV series. It is a miniature-sized, low-impedance component specified for general-purpose applications requiring 180 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 10 V.

Designed for compact assemblies, the part delivers long-term endurance with a 5000-hour rated life at +105°C and RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 180 µF rated capacitance at 10 V provides bulk energy storage for decoupling and smoothing in low-voltage circuits.
• Low Impedance / Ripple Performance: Specified ripple capability of 176.9 mA at 120 Hz and 290 mA at 200 kHz supports both low- and high-frequency ripple handling within the stated ratings.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 5000 hours at +105°C to support sustained high-temperature use.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting in space-constrained boards.
• Tolerance & Polarity: ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction; suitable where polarized electrolytic capacitors are required.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting current restriction standards for hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in low-voltage power rails where compact size and moderate ripple capability are needed.
• Decoupling in compact assemblies: Local energy reservoir for regulators and converters on space-constrained PCBs using through-hole radial mounting.
• High-temperature environments: Use in assemblies that must withstand elevated ambient temperatures up to +105°C for extended durations.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small can dimensions (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing minimize board area impact in tight layouts.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000-hour load life at +105°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Rated ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz demonstrate usable performance across low and high ripple-frequency conditions.
• Through-hole robustness: Radial lead, can package simplifies hand-assembly or wave-solder processing while maintaining mechanical stability.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance ensures conformity with current restricted-substance requirements for electronic assemblies.
