UPV1E121MGD

The UPV1E121MGD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a miniature can package. It belongs to Nichicon’s UPV series of low‑impedance, high‑reliability capacitors and is specified for general‑purpose electronic circuits.

Key performance highlights include a 120 µF capacitance at 25 V, low measured impedance (340 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), rated ripple handling up to 405 mA at high frequency, and a 5000‑hour load life at +105°C. The part is RoHS‑compliant.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 120 µF capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance; impedance specified at 340 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) and tan δ ≤ 0.14 for the 25 V rating.
• Leakage and loss characteristics — Leakage current specified at 90 μA (measured after 1 minute at 20°C for this part); low loss tangent supports stable behavior at the specified test conditions.
• Ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 230.8 mA at 120 Hz and 405 mA at higher frequency, enabling use where AC ripple must be absorbed within the capacitor’s ratings.
• Thermal endurance — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 5000 hours at +105°C.
• Compact radial package — Radial lead, can‑style package with case dimensions 8 × 11.5 mm (φD × L), overall size L: 1.15 cm × D: 0.8 cm, and 3.5 mm lead spacing for compact PCB mounting.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic circuits — Suitable where a miniature, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general use.
• PCB radial‑lead implementations — Designed for assemblies that accept radial lead can capacitors and require a compact footprint.
• Thermally demanding environments — Applicable in circuits that must operate across −55°C to +105°C with long‑term load life expectations.

Unique Advantages

• Low measured impedance: 340 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) provides lower AC voltage drop and improved high‑frequency performance within the stated test conditions.
• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents up to 405 mA at high frequency and 230.8 mA at 120 Hz help the capacitor manage AC stress within its ratings.
• Proven thermal endurance: Specified 5000 hours of load life at +105°C for stable long‑term operation under elevated temperature.
• Compact radial can design: 8 × 11.5 mm case and 3.5 mm lead spacing enable space‑constrained board layouts that require through‑hole radial components.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for many end products.
