UPW2E010MED

The UPW2E010MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, offering a compact 6.3 mm diameter × 11 mm length can and polarized radial-lead mounting. It delivers 1 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and is designed for applications that require a small, reliable electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and leakage characteristics.

Key electrical characteristics include a tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 µF nominal capacitance rated for 250 V, with a tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable filtering and decoupling performance.
• Electrical Loss — tanδ (DF) of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a specified loss characteristic for AC and ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low-frequency ripple current of 17 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 27.2 mA at 10 kHz to support switching power supply ripple handling.
• Leakage Current — 65 µA specified leakage current suitable for designs requiring defined DC leakage limits.
• Thermal & Endurance — Rated for operation from -40°C to 105°C with an endurance life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Radial lead can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk/bag packing (no terminal forming).
• AEC Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated, supporting use in applications where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Use in automotive control modules and power circuits where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to 105°C are required.
• Switching power supplies — Compact decoupling and smoothing in small-form-factor SMPS designs, leveraging the UPW series’ miniature size and defined ripple ratings.
• Industrial control — Local energy storage and noise suppression in compact control boards that require stable leakage and loss characteristics over temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: 6.3 mm × 11 mm can size provides space-saving placement in dense PCB layouts.
• Defined high-voltage rating: 250 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rail filtering and support for elevated DC bias conditions.
• Measured loss characteristic: Specified tanδ at 20°C/120 Hz helps designers predict AC loss and heating in ripple environments.
• Dual-frequency ripple data: Provided low- and high-frequency ripple current values allow selection based on switching frequency and expected ripple content.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports qualification requirements for many automotive electronics programs.
