UPW1C392MHD6

The UPW1C392MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPW series designed for low impedance and high reliability. With a rated voltage of 16 V and a nominal capacitance of 3900 µF (±20%), this part targets compact power designs that require sustained ripple handling and long-term endurance.

Typical use cases include switching power supplies and automotive electronics where a combination of high ripple current capability, low ESR, wide temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 3.9 mF (3900 µF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage.
• Low Impedance / High Ripple Capability: Low impedance of 56 mΩ and rated ripple currents of 2.116 A at 120 Hz and 2.49 A at 10 kHz to support high-frequency switching and smoothing applications.
• High Reliability Endurance: Qualified for 8000 hours at 105 °C, providing long-term performance stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C operating range for tolerant operation across harsh thermal conditions.
• Radial Lead, Compact Package: Miniature can package with dimensions φ18 × 20 mm and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for compact board layouts; available in bulk/bag packing.
• Industry Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating for applicability in qualified automotive and high-reliability designs.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance (56 mΩ) and high ripple current ratings (2.116 A @120 Hz, 2.49 A @10 kHz) support output smoothing and decoupling in compact switch-mode power supplies.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 8000-hour endurance at 105 °C make this capacitor suitable for vehicle electronic modules requiring long-term thermal and electrical reliability.
• Compact Power Modules — Miniature φ18 × 20 mm can size and radial-lead format enable use where board space is limited but robust filtering and energy storage are needed.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Specifies 2.116 A at 120 Hz and 2.49 A at 10 kHz, allowing effective filtering across low and high switching frequencies.
• Low ESR / Low Impedance: 56 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple and heat generation under load, improving power stage efficiency.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 8000 hours at 105 °C, delivering predictable lifetime performance in high-temperature applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports integration into automotive and other high-reliability systems.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ18 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing enables dense PCB placement in space-constrained designs.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Supplied in bulk or bag packing with no terminal forming, facilitating straightforward assembly workflows.
