UPW1A822MHD

The UPW1A822MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package from Nichicon’s UPW series. It delivers 8.2 mF (8200 µF) capacitance at a 10 V rating with low impedance and high ripple-handling capability.

Designed for demanding power applications, this polarized capacitor is optimized for switching power supplies and automotive/industrial electronics where high ripple current, wide temperature range, and long endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing on low-voltage rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 32 mΩ to support low-loss filtering and fast transient response.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 2.6775 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.15 A (10 kHz), enabling robust performance in switching power stages.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55 °C to 105 °C with a lifetime/endurance of 8000 hours at 105 °C for long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 2460 µA and tan δ per UPW series specifications for capacitors in this capacitance range.
• Radial Lead Package — φ16 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole designs; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — Designed to meet AEC-Q200 reliability requirements for use in automotive and other demanding applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering where high ripple current and low impedance reduce voltage ripple and improve converter stability.
• Automotive Electronics — Power rail decoupling and energy buffering in modules that require AEC-Q200 level reliability and extended high-temperature endurance.
• Industrial Power Systems — Energy storage and filtering for DC-DC converters, inverters, and other power conversion stages operating across −55 °C to 105 °C.
