UPW0J102MPD

The UPW0J102MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for high-reliability power electronics. It delivers 1000 µF at 6.3 V with a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm package and 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for applications such as switching power supplies and automotive electronic modules, this UPW-series part combines wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), long endurance (5,000 hours at 105 °C), and measurable low-loss characteristics for stable filtering and smoothing performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1,000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance & Loss Angle: Specified impedance of 180 mΩ and tanδ (DF) of 0.22 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting effective ripple suppression.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 566.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 755 mA (10 kHz), enabling robust performance across switching frequencies.
• Reliability & Endurance: Rated for 5,000 hours at 105 °C with endurance limits defined for capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage current.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for demanding thermal environments.
• Radial Lead Package: φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and available bulk or bag packing; pressure relief vent on radial lead variants.
• Qualification: AEC-Q200 rated, suitable for designs requiring established component-level automotive qualification.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Input/output smoothing and bulk decoupling in compact switching regulators where low impedance and high ripple handling are required.
• Automotive Electronic Modules: Filtering and energy storage for automotive control units and power modules, supported by AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature rating.
• Embedded Power Systems: Local energy reservoir and transient suppression in industrial and embedded electronics operating across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified LF and HF ripple current ratings (566.3 mA at 120 Hz, 755 mA at 10 kHz) reduce the risk of overheating in switching environments.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ10 × 12.5 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a small PCB footprint while maintaining through-hole mounting robustness.
• Long-term thermal endurance: 5,000 hours at 105 °C rating supports designs targeting long service life under elevated temperatures.
• Measurable low-loss performance: 0.22 tanδ and 180 mΩ impedance at specified conditions translate to predictable performance for filter and decoupling networks.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with systems that require component-level automotive qualification and traceable reliability standards.
• Production readiness: Product is in mass production, simplifying procurement and lifecycle planning.
