UPW1E272MHD

The UPW1E272MHD is a Nichicon UPW series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for low impedance and high reliability. It delivers 2.7 mF (2700 µF) capacitance at a 25 V rating with a compact φ16 × 25 mm can and radial lead termination.

Engineered for demanding power applications, this part is suited to switching power supplies and other power‑handling circuits where ripple current capacity, temperature endurance and long life are required. It carries an AEC‑Q200 rating and is offered in bulk or bag packing; the product is in mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2700 µF (2.7 mF) rated at 25 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance 44 mΩ, supporting lower voltage drop under ripple and transient conditions.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable AC loss behavior in filtering applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.172 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.555 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) for robust AC ripple handling.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current listed at 2025 µA after rated voltage application, useful for bias and standby sizing.
• Extended Life & Temperature Range — Endurance of 8000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C for sustained high‑temperature performance.
• Compact Radial Can — φ16 × 25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through‑hole PCB assemblies.
• AEC‑Q200 Rated — Qualified for applications requiring the AEC‑Q200 level of passive component reliability.
• Packaging & Status — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing; product status: Mass Production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk capacitance and low impedance help reduce output ripple and improve regulator stability in switching converters.
• Automotive Power Modules — AEC‑Q200 rating and 105°C endurance make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronics power filtering and decoupling.
• DC‑DC Converters and Power Conditioning — High ripple current capability and low tan δ support use in high‑frequency power stages and post‑regulation filtering.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR/Impedance for Improved Ripple Performance: 44 mΩ impedance reduces voltage ripple and thermal dissipation in power paths.
• High Ripple Current Handling: 2.172 A (120 Hz) and 2.555 A (10 kHz) ratings allow direct use on high‑ripple nodes without oversizing.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 8000 hours at 105°C supports extended lifetime in thermally demanding environments.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Provides an established reliability baseline for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ16 × 25 mm can and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify through‑hole layout and mechanical retention.
• Production Availability: Mass production status and standard packaging options simplify procurement and prototype-to-production transitions.
