UPW1A272MHD

The UPW1A272MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, built in a radial lead, can-style package. It combines a compact footprint with low impedance and specifications targeted at power conversion applications.

Designed for use in switching power supplies and automotive electronics, this part delivers measurable ripple handling and long-term endurance under elevated temperature conditions, providing reliable filtering and decoupling in constrained PCB layouts.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  2.7 mF capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage with a tolerance of ±20% and polarized construction for standard electrolytic applications.
• Low Impedance  Rated impedance of 60 mΩ to support improved transient and filtering performance in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability  Specified ripple current of 1.653 A at 120 Hz and 1.945 A at 10 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Reliability & Qualification  AEC-Q200 rated with an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and endurance specified for 7,000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting  Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2.5 × D: 1.25 cm) for space-constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies  Provides bulk filtering and decoupling where low impedance and compact size are required for tight power regulation.
• Automotive Electronics  Suited for automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are part of the design requirements.
• High‑Frequency Power Stages  Handles ripple at higher frequencies (specified at 10 kHz) for power stages that require stable performance across frequency bands.

Unique Advantages

• Low impedance for improved regulation: The 60 mΩ impedance supports reduced voltage ripple and better transient response in power rails.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enables predictable behavior across low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: Rated for 7,000 hours at 105°C to support long-term operation in hot environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides a recognized qualification level for designs that require standardized reliability testing.
• Compact radial package: Small L × D footprint and radial lead format simplify placement in constrained PCB layouts.
