UPW1J101MPD

The UPW1J101MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPW series designed for low impedance and high reliability. With a 100 µF capacitance at 63 V and a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can, it is targeted at power-side decoupling and energy-storage tasks in compact electronics and switching power supplies.

Key value comes from its combination of low loss (tanδ), rated ripple-handling capability across low and high frequencies, and a long high-temperature endurance specification, making it suitable for designs that require reliable power filtering in constrained board space.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance rated at 63 V, tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Low impedance — Specified impedance of 512 mΩ to support effective smoothing and transient response in power rails.
• Low loss (tanδ) — tanδ = 0.09 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, minimizing dissipation in AC ripple conditions.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 351 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 540 mA, enabling reliable performance across switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 189 µA, supporting predictable DC performance after voltage application.
• High-temperature endurance — Lifecycle rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Robust operating range — Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for use across harsh thermal profiles.
• Compact radial package — φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied as radial lead (polar) for through‑hole assembly; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified — Series rating included in the product data; applicable where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Low impedance and high ripple capability make it suitable for output filtering and bulk decoupling in compact switch-mode power supplies.
• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 rating and wide temperature range support use in automotive control modules and power subsystems.
• DC‑DC converters and power modules — High-frequency ripple current rating and low loss help stabilize converters and improve transient response.
• General power filtering — Compact size and radial-lead form factor suit through‑hole designs requiring reliable bulk capacitance in tight layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage compact solution: 100 µF at 63 V in a φ10 × 12.5 mm can provides substantial capacitance without large board area impact.
• Low dissipation in ripple environments: tanδ = 0.09 (20°C, 120 Hz) and specified ripple currents reduce heat generation and support stable operation under AC stress.
• Designed for elevated-temperature duty: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C offers predictable lifespan for sustained high-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: Inclusion of AEC‑Q200 in the product data addresses reliability expectations for vehicle electronics and similar demanding markets.
• Through-hole simplicity: Radial leaded can with 5 mm lead spacing streamlines placement and soldering for board-level power assemblies.
• Predictable electrical baseline: Specified impedance (512 mΩ) and measured leakage current (189 µA) make it straightforward to model in power designs.
