Overview of UPW2C100MPD – Miniature, Low‑Impedance Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPW2C100MPD is a miniature radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for power applications that require compact size, low impedance and high reliability. As a polarized, radial‑lead can package, it is tailored for switching power supplies and related power‑conditioning roles in demanding environments.
Key part specifications include 10 µF capacitance at 160 V rating, a compact footprint (L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing, and an operating range to 105 °C. The device carries an AEC‑Q200 rating for enhanced reliability in automotive and harsh‑environment applications.
Key Features
- Compact Radial Can Package Miniature dimensions (L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing make the UPW2C100MPD suitable for dense PCB layouts and through‑hole mounting using radial leads.
- Electrical Rating 10 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage with polarization suitable for DC filtering and energy storage in power circuits.
- Low Impedance & Ripple Handling Engineered for low impedance performance with rated ripple current of 70 mA at 120 Hz and 112 mA at 10 kHz, supporting effective smoothing in switching supplies.
- Wide Operating Temperature Specified for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C to support elevated ambient deployments.
- High Reliability & Lifetime AEC‑Q200 rated with a qualified lifetime of 5000 hours at 105 °C, supporting longer service life in demanding applications.
- Tolerance & Polarization Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction for predictable DC performance.
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies Compact filtering and smoothing in board‑level switch‑mode power supplies where low impedance and ripple performance are required.
