UPW1C101MED

The UPW1C101MED is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the UPW series designed for low‑impedance, high‑reliability power filtering. It provides 100 µF at a 16 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can suitable for space‑constrained power designs.

Targeted for switching power supplies and automotive electronics, this part combines a wide operating temperature range (‑55°C to 105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and specified ripple‑current performance for demanding power‑conditioning applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and energy storage.
• Miniature radial can: Compact φ6.3 × 11 mm package with radial leads and 2.5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole mounting where board space is limited.
• Low loss (tan δ): tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable performance in AC ripple environments.
• Ripple current capability: Rated for 188.5 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 290 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing in switching circuits.
• Leakage current: Low leakage current of 48 µA for reduced standby losses and improved bias stability.
• High reliability and endurance: Rated for 2,000 hours life at 105°C, reflecting suitability for extended operation under elevated temperature stress.
• Automotive grade: AEC‑Q200 qualification and explicit application for automotive electronics where applicable.
• Polarized design: Standard polarized electrolytic construction for DC power filtering and bulk decoupling.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Bulk and output filtering in compact switch‑mode power supplies where low impedance and good ripple handling are required.
• Automotive electronics: Power smoothing and decoupling in automotive control modules and subsystems, supported by AEC‑Q200 qualification.
• Compact DC‑DC converters: Input and output capacitance for board‑level converters and power regulation modules in space‑constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑performance package: The φ6.3 × 11 mm radial can delivers 100 µF at 16 V in a small footprint, conserving board space without sacrificing capacitance.
• Designed for elevated temperatures: Rated operation from ‑55°C to 105°C and 2,000 h endurance at 105°C provide predictable lifetime behavior in hot environments.
• Defined ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers size capacitors based on actual switching frequencies and thermal constraints.
• Low leakage and controlled loss: 48 µA leakage and a measured tanδ of 0.16 support efficient power delivery and stable voltage rails.
• Automotive qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating enables use in automotive electronics designs that require recognized component screening.
