UPW1H180MDD

The UPW1H180MDD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for low-impedance power applications. It is part of Nichicon’s UPW series, optimized for switching power supplies and applications that demand compact size, stable performance across temperature, and controlled leakage and loss characteristics.

This radial-lead component is rated 50 V, specified for operation from -55 °C to 105 °C, and is available in a compact φ5 × 11 mm package with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm).

Key Features

• Compact, radial-lead package — φ5 × 11 mm can with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for dense through‑hole layouts and robust mechanical mounting.
• Rated voltage — 50 V DC rating suitable for a range of low‑to‑mid voltage power rails.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Low loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.10 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting improved AC performance and reduced heating under ripple.
• Ripple current handling — Low-frequency ripple current 46.5 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 155 mA (10 kHz), enabling smoothing in switching circuits.
• Controlled leakage — Specified leakage current of 27 µA to limit standby loss and improve predictability in bias-sensitive circuits.
• Capacitance tolerance and polarization — Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% with polarized construction for standard DC decoupling and bulk storage roles.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification — Rated to AEC‑Q200, making it suitable for applications with elevated reliability requirements.
• Packaging options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Provides compact, low‑impedance bulk and decoupling capacitance for DC‑DC converters and regulator output filtering.
• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in automotive control modules and power subsystems requiring robust electrolytic capacitance.
• Power modules and industrial controllers — Smoothing and energy storage in compact power assemblies where space and thermal endurance are constrained.

Unique Advantages

• Miniature footprint for dense assemblies: φ5 × 11 mm package and tight lead spacing reduce board area while retaining through‑hole robustness.
• Designed for low impedance and stable AC performance: Low tan δ and specified ripple current figures help minimize heating and voltage ripple in switching environments.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for continuous operation up to 105 °C with a 2000‑hour endurance specification for reliable long‑term performance.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Low leakage current specification supports designs sensitive to standby losses and bias stability.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Provides an added level of component reliability for demanding applications that require qualified passive components.
• Flexible packing for production: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit different assembly and handling workflows.
