UPV1H120MFD

The UPV1H120MFD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package designed for general-purpose electronic circuits. It delivers 12 µF of polarized capacitance at a 50 V rating, with a compact footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) and 2 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting.

Built as part of Nichicon's UPV series, this capacitor emphasizes high reliability and extended load-life performance—designed to withstand 5000 hours of applied voltage at +105°C while meeting RoHS requirements.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — Rated 50 V and 12 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance; polarized construction for DC smoothing and bulk capacitance in general-purpose circuits.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of a low-impedance series, with specified ripple current ratings that support stable operation under AC ripple (62.5 mA at 120 Hz; 125 mA at 200 kHz).
• High-Temperature Endurance — Endurance rating of 5000 hours at +105°C under rated voltage as specified for the UPV series, supporting sustained high-temperature operation.
• Wide Operating Range — Specified operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C to cover a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Can Package — Radial lead mounting with 2 mm lead spacing and a small can footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) for space-constrained PCB designs.
• Low Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Series leakage current limit and loss angle performance per the UPV datasheet (leakage ≤ 0.03CV μA after 1 minute at 20°C; tan δ max. for 50 V is 0.10 at 120 Hz/20°C).
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Compact radial electrolytic for bulk capacitance and smoothing in consumer and industrial circuit boards where space is limited.
• Power rail decoupling — Provides polarized bulk capacitance for DC power rails up to 50 V, with ripple-current capability specified at both low and high frequencies.
• High-temperature environments — Suited for designs that require sustained operation at elevated temperatures thanks to a 5000-hour endurance rating at +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature life: Rated for 5000 hours at +105°C under load, delivering predictable end-of-life behavior for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Low-loss, low-leakage behavior: Datasheet-specified leakage and tan δ characteristics help maintain efficiency and stability in filtering and power applications.
• Compact form factor: Small L × D footprint and radial-can packaging reduce PCB real estate while retaining through-hole robustness.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 200 kHz accommodate both low-frequency and higher-frequency ripple environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures compatibility with restricted-substance requirements for global product shipments.
