UPW1J181MHD6

The UPW1J181MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series designed for low impedance and high reliability in compact power applications. It delivers 180 µF at 63 V in a space-saving φ12.5 × 15 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Targeted for switching power supplies and automotive electronic systems, this AEC-Q200 rated part combines high ripple capacity, extended endurance and wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) for robust performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 180 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 63 V with a specified impedance of 300 mOhm and tanδ of 0.09 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple and Leakage Characteristics — Low-frequency ripple current of 663 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.02 A (10 kHz), with a specified leakage current of 340.2 µA.
• Reliability and Endurance — Rated for 7000 hours at 105°C; designed for long-term operation under elevated temperature and ripple stress.
• Temperature Range & Stability — Operates from −55°C to 105°C with documented low-temperature impedance stability (Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 3 for this voltage class).
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead (polar) can package, size φ12.5 × 15 mm, 5 mm lead spacing, available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production workflows.
• Automotive-Grade Screening — AEC-Q200 rated for usage in automotive electronic assemblies that require component-level reliability verification.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and high ripple handling improve voltage stability and transient response.
• Automotive Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in control modules and power systems where AEC-Q200 screening and extended temperature range are required.
• Space-Constrained Power Designs — Compact power converters and modules benefiting from a miniature φ12.5 × 15 mm can and radial-lead mounting.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple current of 663 mA (120 Hz) and 1.02 A (10 kHz) supports demanding power filtering and decoupling duties.
• Extended high-temperature life: 7000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Low impedance for better efficiency: 300 mOhm impedance and a low tanδ (0.09) reduce losses and improve regulator stability in power circuits.
• Automotive-grade screening: AEC-Q200 rating supports deployment in automotive electronic assemblies requiring component-level reliability.
• Compact radial package: φ12.5 × 15 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies layout in tight PCBs while retaining through-hole robustness.
• Multiple packing options: Available in bulk or bag packing to accommodate prototyping and production supply chain needs.
