UPW1C560MDD

The UPW1C560MDD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, designed for low-impedance, high-reliability filtering in compact power designs. Its core attributes—56 µF capacitance, 16 V rating and a small φ5 × 11 mm can—make it well suited for switching power supplies and space-constrained power modules, including automotive electronics where AEC-Q200-rated components are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V working voltage and a tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable filtering performance.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — tanδ (DF) = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage and reduced heat generation in filtering applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 54 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 180 mA at 10 kHz to handle both mains-frequency and switching-frequency stress.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 26.88 µA to aid predictable bias behavior in DC circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C to meet demanding thermal environments and long-term operation requirements.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Operates from -55°C to +105°C to cover harsh-environment electronics.
• Compact Radial-Lead Package — φ5 × 11 mm can with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial leads for easy through-hole mounting and stable mechanical attachment.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — Specified with AEC-Q200 rating for use in automotive-grade designs and other high-reliability applications.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) and Bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Miniature, low-impedance filtering for input/output stages in switch-mode converters.
• Automotive Electronics — Filtering and decoupling in automotive control modules where AEC-Q200-rated passives are required.
• Compact Power Modules — Space-constrained DC power modules and board-level power regulation where a small footprint and robust ripple handling are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient footprint: The φ5 × 11 mm can delivers 56 µF capacitance in a miniature package to save PCB area in compact designs.
• Engineered for switching environments: Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow accurate selection for mains-frequency and switching-frequency filtering.
• High-temperature durability: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long-term stability in thermally demanding applications.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Low tanδ and specified leakage current provide stable loss and bias characteristics for sensitive power circuits.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with reliability expectations for automotive electronics and related high-reliability systems.
• Through-hole convenience: Radial lead form and standard lead spacing simplify insertion, soldering, and mechanical mounting on PCBs.
