UPW2V100MHD

The UPW2V100MHD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact switching power supplies and automotive power electronics. It provides a 10 µF capacitance at a 350 V rating in a small radial can package, delivering low impedance filtering in space‑constrained through‑hole assemblies.

Built for reliability under elevated operating conditions, this Nichicon UPW series part offers AEC‑Q200 qualification, long life at high temperature, and practical ripple handling across low and high frequency ranges.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 10 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and bulk energy storage.
• High Voltage Rating — Rated at 350 V to support high‑voltage power rails and DC bus filtering.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified ripple current values at common frequencies (82 mA at 120 Hz, 131.2 mA at 10 kHz) to support effective smoothing in switching applications.
• Compact Radial Can Package — Small footprint (L: 2 × D: 1.25 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 rating and a 7000‑hour rated lifetime at 105 °C for durability in demanding environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40 °C to 105 °C, suitable for a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Polarized Design — Conventional polarized construction for DC filtering and energy storage in power electronics.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — High‑voltage decoupling and output filtering where compact, low‑impedance capacitors reduce ripple and improve regulation.
• Automotive Power Electronics — Power rail filtering in automotive modules leveraging the AEC‑Q200 rating and extended high‑temperature life.
• DC‑DC Converters — Bulk and smoothing capacitor for isolated and non‑isolated converters operating at elevated bus voltages.
• Industrial Power Modules — Space‑constrained industrial supplies requiring reliable high‑voltage filtering and long operational life.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage in a compact package: 350 V rating combined with a 2 × 1.25 cm can footprint supports high‑voltage designs without large electrolytic cans.
• Measured ripple capability: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers size capacitors for both low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Automotive qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating signals suitability for regulated automotive and harsh‑environment applications.
• Long high‑temperature life: Rated for 7000 hours at 105 °C, providing predictable end‑of‑life performance for prolonged duty cycles.
• Through‑hole mounting convenience: Radial lead and 5 mm lead spacing ease prototyping, rework, and robust board assembly for power electronics.
• Clear thermal range: −40 °C to 105 °C operating temperature supports a wide span of ambient conditions encountered in industrial and automotive systems.
