UPW1C822MHD

The UPW1C822MHD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability in power conversion applications. It combines high capacitance (8200 µF) at a 16 V rating with design characteristics targeted at switching power supplies and other demanding power-management circuits.

Key value comes from a compact φ18 × 35.5 mm can, robust endurance and wide operating temperature range, plus ripple-current capability and AEC-Q200 qualification for designs requiring elevated reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 8.2 mF (8200 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 16 V rated voltage.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 30 mΩ, helping reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 3.128 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.68 A (10 kHz), supporting heavy ripple conditions in converters and regulators.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) approximately 0.3 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for this capacitance and voltage.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 3936 µA under rated conditions.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 8000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended operation in high-temperature environments.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational from −55°C to +105°C to suit harsh thermal conditions.
• Radial Lead, Through-Hole Package — φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification — Rated to AEC-Q200, appropriate for reliability-conscious designs including automotive electronic applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output decoupling where low impedance and high ripple handling are required.
• DC-DC Converters — Energy storage and input/output filtering to stabilize rails under dynamic load conditions.
• Automotive Electronics — Use in automotive electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature/lifetime performance are required.
• Industrial Power Systems — Filtering and transient suppression in industrial power supplies and controllers operating across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 8200 µF in a φ18 × 35.5 mm package enables significant bulk energy storage with a small PCB footprint.
• Improved Power-Rail Performance — Low impedance (30 mΩ) and rated ripple currents reduce voltage ripple and improve converter stability.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — 8000 hours at 105°C provides long-term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports deployment in designs that require proven component-level reliability.
• Through-Hole Packaging — Radial-lead can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies mounting for through-hole assemblies and prototyping.
• Supply & Packaging Flexibility — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match production and assembly workflows.
