UPW1V101MPD

The UPW1V101MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, designed for low-impedance power applications. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with characteristics tuned for switching power supplies and other compact power systems.

Key engineering attributes include AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, and 3,000 hours endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding environments where long-term stability and ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 35 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 234 mOhm for improved transient response and reduced voltage ripple in power rails.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 360.8 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 555 mA (10 kHz) for reliable filtering in switching environments.
• Reliability & Endurance — High reliability type with AEC-Q200 rating and endurance of 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Thermal Range — Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C to support both low-temperature startup and high-temperature operation.
• Electrical Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 105 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ8 × 11.5L) with 3.5 mm lead spacing and bulk or bag packing options.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and explicit design for switching power supplies make this part suitable for output filtering and decoupling in compact converters.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive systems that require robust performance over temperature and long endurance at elevated temperature.
• Compact Power Modules — Miniature radial-lead form factor (φ8 × 11.5L) fits space-constrained power modules and embedded power assemblies.
• High-Reliability Power Filtering — Long endurance at 105°C and controlled leakage/tanδ support sustained filtering performance in demanding environments.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Enables use in automotive and other high-reliability applications where standardized component qualification is required.
• Proven High-Temperature Endurance: 3,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions provides predictable aging and long-term performance planning.
• Effective Ripple Management: Specified ripple current figures at both low and high frequencies (360.8 mA at 120 Hz and 555 mA at 10 kHz) let engineers size filters confidently for switching environments.
• Compact, Radial-Lead Package: Small φ8 × 11.5L can with 3.5 mm lead spacing offers an easy-to-mount radial solution for compact PCBs and through-hole assemblies.
• Low Loss and Controlled Leakage: tanδ of 0.12 and leakage current of 105 µA help maintain efficiency and limit standby losses in power rails.
• Manufacturer Backing: Part of Nichicon’s UPW series, providing consistent specification and traceability for production designs.
