UPZ2D121MND9

The UPZ2D121MND9 from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPZ series, designed as a radial-lead, polarized component for general-purpose high-voltage applications. With a 120 µF capacitance at a 200 V rating and a compact φ10×40 mm can, it targets designs that need compact bulk capacitance with defined ripple and endurance characteristics.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 120 µF nominal capacitance at 200 V with capacitance tolerance of -20%~20% (±20%).
• Low-loss Characteristic — tanδ (DF) max 0.12, measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for the 200 V rating, supporting efficient operation in AC ripple environments.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current listed as 1060 µA (per datasheet leakage measurement conditions after 1 minute at 20°C), suitable for many power applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current 680 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 952 mA at 10 kHz, allowing handling of continuous ripple on DC rails.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range -40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage plus rated ripple current (meets specified capacitance, tanδ and leakage limits after endurance test).
• Radial Through-Hole Package — φ10×40 mm can size with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for straightforward through-hole assembly and mechanical stability.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to support discrete assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing and filtering — 200 V rating and 120 µF capacitance combined with specified ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing DC rails and reducing ripple in high-voltage supplies.
• High-voltage general-purpose circuits — Compact φ10×40 mm package with -40°C to +105°C operating range fits space-constrained designs that require reliable high-voltage capacitance.
• Decoupling on 200 V rails — Low tanδ and defined leakage support stable decoupling and energy storage where controlled dissipation and leakage are important.
• Through-hole assemblies — Radial lead configuration and standardized 5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in PCB layouts and prototyping environments.

Unique Advantages

• 200 V rated bulk capacitance: Provides substantial energy storage (120 µF) for circuits requiring higher working voltages without a large footprint.
• Defined ripple handling: Rated ripple current values at 120 Hz (680 mA) and 10 kHz (952 mA) give designers quantifiable limits for thermal and lifetime planning.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated conditions enables predictable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low dissipation factor: tanδ 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz reduces internal heating and improves efficiency in AC ripple conditions.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10×40 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing delivers a space-efficient through-hole solution for legacy and industrial PCBs.
• Manufacturer pedigree: Part of Nichicon’s UPZ series, offering series-level specifications and datasheet-backed performance characteristics.
