UPW2E3R3MPD

The UPW2E3R3MPD from Nichicon is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPW series, designed for miniature, low-impedance, high-reliability power applications. This polarized, radial-can device provides 3.3 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can size and 5 mm lead spacing.

Targeted use cases include switching power supplies and automotive electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and prolonged high-temperature endurance are required. The part delivers measurable ripple performance and long life at elevated temperatures for demanding power-rail decoupling and energy-storage roles.

Key Features

• Reliability Rating — AEC-Q200 rated and listed for Automotive applications.
• Product Status — End Of Life (EOL).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance, miniature can suited for output decoupling and energy buffering in switching regulators.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and 5000 h endurance at 105°C make this capacitor applicable for automotive control modules and ancillary systems.
• Compact Power Modules — Small φ10 can and 5 mm lead spacing fit space-constrained power assemblies requiring polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Explicit AEC-Q200 rating supports automotive-grade reliability requirements and design validation.
• High-Voltage, Small Footprint: 250 V rating in a φ10 × 12.5 mm radial can enables high-voltage energy storage in compact assemblies.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and ripple budgeting in designs.
• Long High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours at 105°C offers predictable end-of-life planning for high-temperature applications.
• Polarized Radial Lead Form: Through-hole radial mounting with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies replacement and prototyping in power boards.
