UPW2E101MRD6

The UPW2E101MRD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, offering a compact, low-impedance solution for high-voltage smoothing and energy-storage duties. Intended for demanding electronic systems, it targets applications that require 250 V working voltage, robust ripple handling, and extended endurance at elevated temperatures.

Designed for reliability in challenging operating environments, this capacitor combines a 100 µF capacitance with a polarized radial-can package and long-life endurance for sustained performance in power-electronics assemblies.

Key Features

• Rated capacitance and voltage: 100 µF capacitance rated for 250 V, suitable for high-voltage smoothing and filtering tasks.
• Low-impedance design: UPW series heritage targets low ESR for improved ripple handling and transient response in switching power supplies.
• High ripple current capability: Low-frequency ripple current 340 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 544 mA at 10 kHz for effective dissipation of AC content.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Rated for 8,000 hours at 105°C, enabling sustained operation in thermally stressed systems.
• Operating temperature range: −40°C to 105°C for broad environmental tolerance across industrial and electronic applications.
• Polarized radial-can package: φ20 × 31 mm can with 10 mm lead spacing and radial leads for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 1,100 µA, allowing designers to budget for stand-by and leakage behavior in high-voltage circuits.
• Packaging options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to support varied assembly and inventory workflows.
• AEC-Q200 rating: Meets AEC-Q200 requirements for passive components, supporting use in designs requiring that qualification.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Low-impedance, high-voltage smoothing for DC-link and output filtering in switch-mode power supplies.
• Automotive electronics: Suitable for automotive-grade designs that require AEC-Q200-rated passive components and stable operation up to 105°C.
• High-voltage filtering: Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in 250 V DC circuits where compact, through-hole capacitors are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 250 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power stages without series stacking.
• Engineered for ripple handling: Dual-specified ripple currents (120 Hz and 10 kHz) help designers match capacitor performance to both low- and high-frequency stress.
• Extended high-temperature life: 8,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and maintenance intervals in thermally demanding systems.
• Compact radial form factor: φ20 × 31 mm can with standard 10 mm lead spacing simplifies layout and mechanical retention in through-hole assemblies.
• Industry qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports inclusion in qualified component lists for projects that require that standard.
• Practical packing choices: Bulk and bag packing options accommodate both small-scale prototyping and larger-volume inventory handling.
