UPW1C102MPD

The UPW1C102MPD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low impedance and high reliability applications. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Built for demanding power applications, this UPW series device offers high ripple current capability and extended endurance, making it suitable for switching power supplies and automotive electronics where stable bulk decoupling and long service life are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF (1 mF) rated at 16 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 104 mΩ to reduce voltage drop under load and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current — 915 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.22 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support switching supply and converter ripple demands.
• Reliability & Endurance — 5000 hours life at 105 °C with DC bias plus rated ripple current for extended service in high‑temperature environments.
• Temperature Range — Operational from −55 °C to +105 °C for wide environmental tolerance.
• Form Factor & Mounting — Radial lead can package (φ10 × 20 mm) with 5.0 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options for through‑hole assembly.
• Leakage & Loss — Leakage current 480 µA and tan δ of 0.16 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) for predictable electrical behavior.
• Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated to meet automotive electronic reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk decoupling and output smoothing where low impedance and high ripple current improve converter stability and transient response.
• Automotive Electronics — Energy storage and filtering in vehicle electronic modules, supported by AEC‑Q200 qualification and a −55 °C to +105 °C operating range.
• DC‑DC Converters — Input/output filtering for isolated and non‑isolated converters, leveraging the capacitor’s ripple handling and low ESR.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow the capacitor to handle switching currents typical of SMPS and converters.
• Compact, space‑efficient package: φ10 × 20 mm radial can delivers 1000 µF capacitance in a small footprint for constrained layouts.
• Long high‑temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105 °C supports designs that require sustained operation in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Low impedance performance: 104 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage excursion and improve power rail stability under dynamic loads.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the part to rigorous automotive quality expectations.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified leakage current (480 µA) and tan δ (0.16) provide engineers measurable parameters for power‑stage budgeting and thermal design.
