UPW1C562MHD6

The UPW1C562MHD6 from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPW series, configured as a radial lead can. It provides 5.6 mF (5600 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating and is optimized for applications requiring low impedance, high ripple handling and extended high-temperature endurance.

Designed for demanding power applications including switching power supplies and electronic systems requiring robust bulk capacitance, this part combines long life (8000 hours at 105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and compact radial packaging for straightforward through-hole assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 5600 µF (5.6 mF) nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 32 mΩ to support low-loss energy storage and fast transient response in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 3.09 A at 120 Hz and 3.635 A at 10 kHz for strong AC ripple handling across frequency ranges.
• High Reliability & Endurance — Life/endurance of 8000 hours at 105°C for prolonged operation under elevated temperature stress.
• Leakage and Dissipation — Measured leakage current specified at 2688 µA; dissipation factor (tan δ) indicated as 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Package & Mechanical — Radial lead, can-style package with physical size φ18 × 30.5 mm length and 7.5 mm lead spacing for easy through-hole mounting. Polarized construction.
• Temperature Range & Qualification — Rated for −55°C to +105°C and carries an AEC‑Q200 rating for component-level reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling to stabilize output rails and reduce ripple in switching regulator designs.
• Automotive Electronics — Engineered for use in automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Industrial Power Modules — Energy storage and transient suppression in industrial converters and power conditioning equipment.
• Telecom and Infrastructure — Bulk filtering and hold-up capacitance in power subsystems that demand long life at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can — 5600 µF in a φ18 × 30.5 mm can minimizes board area while providing substantial energy storage.
• Robust High‑Temperature Endurance — 8000 hours at 105°C supports long-term reliability in thermally stressed environments.
• Wide Frequency Ripple Performance — Strong ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz make this capacitor effective across switching and high-frequency applications.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating provides an established reliability baseline for transportation and similarly demanding applications.
• Low Impedance for Improved Efficiency — 32 mΩ impedance helps reduce losses and improve transient response in power circuits.
