UPW1V122MHD6

The UPW1V122MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPW series, engineered for miniature footprint power applications. It delivers low impedance and long-term reliability targeted at switching power supplies and automotive electronic systems, combining a compact can-style package with AEC-Q200 qualification and extended high-temperature life.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 1.2 mF capacitance rated at 35 V with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and measured impedance of 58 mΩ for effective decoupling and energy storage.
• Low ripple capability — Specified ripple current of 1.879 A at 120 Hz and 2.21 A at 10 kHz supports high-frequency switching environments.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated operating temperature range is -55°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 8000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive grade reliability — AEC-Q200 rating denotes qualification for automotive electronics use where that standard is required.
• Radial through-hole package — Can-style radial lead construction with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2 × D: 1.6 cm) for simple board mounting and robust mechanical connection.
• Polarized design — Polar capacitor suitable for DC applications and power rail filtering in polarized circuits.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Low impedance and specified ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for output filtering and bulk decoupling in switching regulators.
• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 8000 h endurance at 105°C support use in automotive power modules and control units.
• DC-DC converters — Compact radial package and strong ripple handling support local energy storage and stability in DC-DC converter stages.
• Power management modules — Useful for smoothing, hold-up, and transient suppression where compact size and reliable high-temperature performance are required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, space-saving form — Miniature can and small footprint (L: 2 × D: 1.6 cm) reduce board area for dense power designs.
• Low impedance for improved transient response — 58 mΩ impedance helps lower voltage ripple and improves regulator stability under load changes.
• Verified high-temperature life — 8000 hours at 105°C provides a measurable reliability baseline for long-life applications.
• Automotive-focused qualification — AEC-Q200 rating enables integration into automotive systems requiring that qualification.
• Through-hole robustness — Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies assembly and provides durable mechanical retention.
