UPV1C820MGD

The UPV1C820MGD is a miniature radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPV series designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that require a compact, low‑impedance energy storage component. This polarized, through‑hole capacitor delivers 82 µF at a 16 V rating while offering long life and stable performance across a wide operating temperature range.

Key value propositions include a small can package for space‑constrained boards, rated endurance of 5000 hours at +105°C for enhanced reliability, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 82 µF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with ±20% tolerance for standard design margining.
• Miniature Radial Package — Radial, can style with radial lead mounting and 2.5 mm lead spacing; physical dimensions L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm enable compact placement on PCBs.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for designs that require broad environmental coverage.
• High Endurance — Rated lifetime of 5000 hours at +105°C with defined endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current after the aging test.
• Low Impedance & Loss Characteristics — Low impedance construction with a specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max of 0.16 for 16 V parts (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting effective filtering and decoupling.
• Ripple Handling — Specified ripple current capability of 132 mA at 120 Hz and 240 mA at 200 kHz for applications requiring steady AC ripple handling.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current limited per datasheet: after 1 minute at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA), enabling predictable baseline current consumption.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated substance compliance.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — Compact decoupling, smoothing and bulk energy storage where a small, polarized electrolytic capacitor is required.
• Power Supply Modules — Local input/output filtering and ripple suppression in through‑hole power assemblies where rated ripple current and low impedance are important.
• Industrial and Consumer PCBs — Space‑constrained board locations that require reliable long‑life capacitors operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient footprint: Small can dimensions (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm) and radial leads allow dense PCB layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Long high‑temperature endurance: 5000 hours at +105°C provides predictable life performance for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Measurable low‑loss behavior: Specified tan δ (max 0.16 at 16 V, 120 Hz) and low impedance construction support effective filtering in power and signal circuits.
• Defined leakage specification: Leakage current limited to 0.03CV (µA) after initial application of rated voltage, enabling accurate power budgeting.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
• Through‑hole robustness: Radial lead mounting simplifies prototyping and replacements while providing sturdy mechanical attachment for boards exposed to vibration or handling.
