UPW1A332MHD6

The UPW1A332MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for miniature, high‑reliability power designs. With a 3.3 mF capacitance and 10 V rated voltage, it delivers compact energy storage for local decoupling and bulk filtering in switching power supplies.

Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this AEC‑Q200 rated part combines low impedance (50 mΩ), elevated ripple handling and a wide operating temperature range (‑55 °C to 105 °C) to support automotive and other high‑reliability power applications.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 3.3 mF capacitance at 10 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for reliable DC storage and smoothing.
• Low impedance — 50 mΩ impedance to minimize voltage drop and reduce ripple on supply rails.
• Ripple current capability — Rated ripple currents of 1.964 A at 120 Hz and 2.31 A at 10 kHz for robust performance under AC stress.
• Thermal and reliability specs — Operating range of ‑55 °C to 105 °C and a specified lifetime of 7000 hours at 105 °C for extended field life in elevated temperatures.
• Automotive qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating for passive component reliability in automotive and other high‑reliability systems.
• Package & mounting — Radial, can‑style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint (L: 3.05 × D: 1.25 cm) for through‑hole assembly and space‑constrained designs.
• Leakage and dissipation — Datasheet leakage current limit of 0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20 °C and tan δ characteristic consistent with a 10 V rated part (tan δ max. 0.19), enabling predictable loss and leakage behavior.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Bulk and output filtering in switching regulators to lower ripple and stabilize converters.
• Automotive power electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in vehicle power modules and control units where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.
• Power filtering in control units — Local decoupling and bulk capacitance for electronic control units and embedded power stages.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy density: 3.3 mF in a small radial can footprint reduces board space while providing significant bulk capacitance.
• Low ESR/impedance: 50 mΩ impedance minimizes voltage ripple, improving regulator stability and transient response.
• High ripple tolerance across frequencies: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low‑frequency and high‑frequency power applications.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating and a 7000‑hour life at 105 °C deliver the traceable reliability required for automotive and other high‑stress environments.
• Wide temperature operation: ‑55 °C to 105 °C operation covers a broad range of environmental conditions for robust field performance.
• Through‑hole mounting simplicity: Radial lead and can package simplify assembly and mechanical stability for board‑level power components.
