UPW1V272MHD

The UPW1V272MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor specified at 2700 µF and 35 V, optimized for low impedance and elevated ripple handling in demanding power electronics.

Targeted use cases include switching power supplies and power-management subsystems where high capacitance, robust ripple-current capability and long endurance are required. The part is in mass production and is offered with bulk or bag packaging.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.7 mF (2700 µF) rated at 35 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 32 mΩ supports effective decoupling and energy delivery in high-current power stages.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 2.678 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.15 A at 10 kHz for improved thermal and electrical endurance under AC stress.
• Long Endurance — 8000 hours rated lifetime at 105 °C, enabling extended service in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for –55 °C to 105 °C, accommodating harsh thermal conditions.
• Compact Radial Can — Physical size φ16 × 35.5 mm (diameter × length) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), ideal for through-hole layouts where board space is constrained.
• Polarized Radial Lead Mounting — Standard radial lead format for straightforward PCB through-hole assembly.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — Specified rating supports use in automotive applications that require higher reliability standards.
• Packaging & Availability — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple-current capability make this capacitor suitable for output smoothing and bulk decoupling in switching regulators and converters.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating, 105 °C endurance and wide temperature range support use in vehicle power modules and control units.
• Industrial Power Systems — Durable lifetime and high ripple handling suit power-management circuits in industrial controllers and drives.
• Power Filtering and Energy Smoothing — High capacitance and rated ripple currents provide effective smoothing of DC rails and transient suppression in energy storage and distribution applications.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Small Footprint: 2700 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm can provides substantial bulk storage where board area is limited.
• Designed for High Ripple Environments: Significant ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies reduce heating and extend life under AC stress.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 32 mΩ impedance improves transient response and reduces loss in power stages.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 8000 hours at 105 °C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature installations.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating enables integration into automotive and other safety-conscious systems requiring standardized reliability evidence.
• Through-Hole Versatility: Radial lead format and standard lead spacing simplify PCB layout and assembly for engineers using through-hole components.
