UPW1C562MHD

The UPW1C562MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series engineered for low impedance and sustained performance in power applications. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor with 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating.

Designed with switching power supplies and demanding power electronics in mind, this part delivers high ripple-current capability, extended endurance (8000 hours at 105°C), and an operating range from −55°C to +105°C—making it suitable for compact, high-stress power modules and automotive electronic systems (AEC‑Q200 rated).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%, providing substantial bulk energy storage in a compact package.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 32 mΩ, optimized for low-loss filtering and improved transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple‑Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.6775 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.15 A at 10 kHz, supporting sustained AC stress in switching environments.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated for 8000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C for long-term stability under elevated thermal conditions.
• Electrical Leakage & Dissipation — Measured leakage current of 2688 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable loss and self-heating behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can with dimensions φ16 × 35.5 L and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• AEC‑Q200 Rated — Meets AEC‑Q200 system-level reliability expectations for use in automotive electronics and other high-reliability applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple-current capability improve converter stability and transient response.
• Automotive Electronics — Energy storage and filtering in control modules and power subsystems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• Power Modules & DC–DC Converters — Input/output decoupling and bulk capacitance in compact power modules benefiting from high capacitance density and elevated ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 5600 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm package allows substantial energy storage without consuming large board area.
• Low Impedance for Better Power Integrity — 32 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple and improves regulator stability under dynamic loads.
• Designed for Continuous Ripple Stress — Ripple‑current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support mixed-frequency switching environments.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 8000 hours at 105°C supports durability in high-temperature housings and under continuous load.
• Automotive Reliability — AEC‑Q200 rating provides verification for use in automotive-grade designs and other reliability-focused applications.
• Through‑Hole Form Factor — Radial lead and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify prototyping, repairability, and robust PCB mounting.
