UPW1C122MPD

The UPW1C122MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for compact, high-performance power circuits. It delivers 1.2 mF (1200 µF) at 16 V with a low-impedance construction optimized for switching power supplies and board-level power filtering.

Engineered for demanding environments, this UPW series part combines high ripple-handling capability, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a wide operating temperature range to support robust designs requiring long endurance and stable performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) rated at 16 V with ±20% capacitance tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 90 mOhm to minimize voltage drop and improve transient response in power-regulation circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.224 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.44 A (10 kHz) for reliable operation under switching loads; frequency coefficient reaches 1.00 at 10 kHz for this capacitance range.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — tanδ 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 576 µA for predictable AC loss and standby behavior.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, enabling extended life in elevated-temperature applications.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates across −55°C to 105°C to suit harsh-environment electronics.
• Through-Hole Radial Package — φ10×25L can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for straightforward through-hole assembly and replacement.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating indicates suitability for applications requiring recognized passive component qualification.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match production and prototyping workflows.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output smoothing in compact switch-mode regulators, benefitting from low impedance and high ripple capability.
• Automotive Electronics — Board-level decoupling and bulk filtering in automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation are required.
• DC Power Filtering — Input/output filtering and transient suppression for DC-DC converters and power modules in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Miniature Can — 1200 µF in a φ10×25 mm package enables significant bulk capacitance without large board area impact.
• Designed for Switching Loads — High ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies reduce heating and extend in-circuit life under switching conditions.
• Proven Endurance — 5000 hours at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications and reduces maintenance frequency.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating provides an added level of component qualification for demanding environments and regulated sectors.
• Low Loss and Predictable Behavior — Specified tanδ and leakage figures help designers model ESR-related heating and standby current accurately.
• Through-Hole Form Factor — Radial lead can and standardized 5 mm lead spacing simplify prototyping, repair, and assembly on through-hole PCBs.
