UPV1H180MFD

The UPV1H180MFD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for general‑purpose electronic applications. It belongs to Nichicon's UPV series, offering low impedance construction and a compact footprint for space‑constrained boards.

Key value propositions include long life at elevated temperature (5,000 hours at +105°C), a 50 V rating with 18 µF capacitance, and RoHS compliance—making it appropriate for filtering and decoupling duties where reliability and thermal endurance matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 18 µF at a rated voltage of 50 V, with a tolerance of ±20%.
• Low Impedance Design — Part of Nichicon’s UPV low‑impedance series, optimized for stable filtering and decoupling performance.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 5,000 hours of load life at +105°C for extended reliability in elevated ambient conditions.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C to support a wide range of environments.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current after 1 minute at 20°C limited per series spec (not more than 0.03CV µA); tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for 50 V is specified at 0.10 (max.).
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 77.5 mA at 120 Hz and 155 mA at 200 kHz to support AC ripple filtering across frequencies.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead can with 2 mm lead spacing and physical size L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm for space‑efficient PCB layouts.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Local smoothing and output filtering where a 50 V, 18 µF, low‑impedance capacitor is required to reduce ripple and stabilize regulators.
• Decoupling on compact PCBs — Small radial can and 2 mm lead spacing make the part suitable for space‑constrained control and interface boards.
• Industrial and consumer electronics — General‑purpose use in assemblies that demand extended life at elevated temperatures (5,000 h at +105°C).

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life: 5,000 hours at +105°C provides predictable endurance in hot operating environments, reducing maintenance and replacement cycles.
• Low impedance for effective filtering: UPV series construction helps achieve lower ESR behavior for improved ripple attenuation and transient response.
• Compact radial form factor: Small L×D footprint and 2 mm lead spacing simplify layout in dense assemblies without sacrificing performance.
• Frequency‑wide ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz support filtering across low and high frequency domains.
• Clear electrical limits: Defined leakage current formula (≤ 0.03CV µA after 1 minute at 20°C) and tan δ values provide measurable parameters for design verification.
• RoHS compliance: Meets current RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory conformity.
