UPW0J101MDD

The UPW0J101MDD is a Nichicon UPW series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a miniature radial‑lead can designed for low impedance and high reliability in switching power applications. It is a polarized capacitor with a nominal capacitance of 100 µF and a rated voltage of 6.3 V.

Engineered for compact power designs and demanding environments, the part combines a small package (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) and 2 mm lead spacing with performance characteristics—including ripple current ratings and an extended operating temperature range—that suit switching power supplies and automotive electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Nominal 100 µF capacitance rated at 6.3 V with tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Impedance / Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 117 mA at 120 Hz and 180 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients from the UPW series apply for calculating effective ripple at different frequencies.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification — UPW0J101MDD carries an AEC‑Q200 rating, supporting use in environments that require component-level stress screening.
• Radial Can Package — Radial lead mounting, polarized can package with 2 mm lead spacing for through‑hole assemblies; compact dimensions help in tight layouts.
• Low Leakage — Series leakage characteristic: after 1 minute’s application of rated voltage at 20°C, leakage current is specified as not more than 0.03 C·V (µA), enabling predictable power loss behavior.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and defined ripple ratings make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and energy storage in switching regulators and DC‑DC converters.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification plus the −55°C to +105°C operating range supports use in automotive modules and control units that require proven passive components.
• Compact Power Modules — The miniature L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm can and 2 mm lead spacing are advantageous for space‑constrained power boards and stacked assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint for dense PCBs: Small can dimensions and tight lead spacing help minimize board area for power rail components.
• Frequency‑aware ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies, plus series frequency coefficients, allow designers to evaluate performance across switching regimes.
• Designed for harsh environments: Wide operating temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and AEC‑Q200 qualification support reliable operation under thermal and mechanical stress.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current limits (≤ 0.03 C·V µA after 1 min at 20°C) reduce uncertainty in low‑power and standby conditions.
• Manufacturer pedigree: Part of Nichicon’s UPW series, offering a series‑level specification set for endurance and stability that aids component selection and qualification.
