UPW0J122MPD

The UPW0J122MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for low impedance and high reliability in power applications. It provides 1200 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with a compact φ8 × 20 mm can and radial lead termination.

Designed for use in switching power supplies and automotive electronic modules, this AEC‑Q200 rated component combines high ripple-current capability, broad temperature tolerance, and long endurance to support demanding low-voltage power-rail designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 1200 µF nominal (1.2 mF) with tolerance ±20% measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V DC.
• Low Loss — tan δ = 0.22 (max.) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for this capacitance range, supporting stable performance under AC stress.
• Low Impedance — Impedance specified as 130 mΩ, improving transient response on supply rails.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 845.75 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 995 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 226.8 µA after rated voltage application.
• Robust Temperature and Lifetime — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with endurance specified at 3000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — Can dimensions φ8 × 20 mm with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated for use in automotive electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for bulk and filter capacitance in SMPS designs.
• Automotive Electronic Modules — AEC‑Q200 rating and −55°C to +105°C operation support use in automotive control and power systems.
• Power Rail Stabilization — Compact radial package for decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage DC rails where space is limited.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-density capacitance — 1200 µF in a φ8 × 20 mm can provides significant bulk capacitance in small footprints.
• Improved transient performance — Low impedance (130 mΩ) helps reduce voltage sag and improves response to load transients.
• High ripple tolerance across frequencies — Specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz accommodate both mains-frequency and switching-frequency stress.
• Wide temperature endurance — −55°C to +105°C operating range and 3000 hours endurance at 105°C support long-term reliability in thermal stress environments.
• Automotive readiness — AEC‑Q200 rating signals suitability for regulated automotive electronics applications.
• Practical packaging options — Bulk and bag packing accommodate both high-volume assembly and prototype use without terminal forming.
