UPW1V100MDD

The UPW1V100MDD is a miniature radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series designed for switching power supplies. It is a polarized, low-impedance capacitor specified for 10 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating and built for compact power applications.

Engineered for demanding temperature and reliability requirements, the component supports operation from –55°C to 105°C and carries an AEC-Q200 rating, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability environments.

Key Features

• Electrical — 10 µF capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, appropriate for decoupling and smoothing in compact power circuits.
• Low Impedance — Described as low impedance for switching power supplies; rated ripple current values include 54 mA at 120 Hz and 180 mA at 10 kHz, supporting high-frequency ripple handling.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range from –55°C to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended operation at elevated temperatures.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive applications where that qualification is required.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial, can-style package with 2 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm, enabling dense board layouts.
• Polarized Construction — Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for use where polarity is defined.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Switching Power Supplies — Suited for smoothing and decoupling in automotive power supply circuits where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• DC-DC Converters — Compact footprint and low-impedance characteristics make the part suitable for input/output filtering in space-constrained converter designs.
• Power Module Filtering — Radial-lead can package and specified ripple current ratings support local filtering in power modules and control electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Miniature footprint: Small physical dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) and 2 mm lead spacing minimize board area for compact power designs.
• Low-impedance performance: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (54 mA and 180 mA respectively) indicates capability for handling switching ripple across a range of frequencies.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for operation to 105°C with a 2000-hour lifetime at that temperature, supporting sustained use in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 rated: Provides an automotive-grade qualification path for applications that require component-level AEC compliance.
• Radial-lead convenience: Through-hole radial lead package simplifies prototyping and assembly for board-level power sections.
