Overview of UBX2C150MPL – 15 µF, 160 V Radial‑Lead High‑Reliability Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UBX2C150MPL is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for demanding thermal and electrical environments. It delivers 15 µF at 160 V with AEC‑Q200 compliance and RoHS conformity, targeting applications that require compact power filtering and stable performance up to 150 °C.
Key value propositions include a wide operating temperature range (‑40 °C to 150 °C), defined endurance at elevated temperature (1000 hours at 150 °C), and measurable ripple and leakage specifications for predictable behavior in power electronics.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF rated capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of ‑20% to +20% for predictable energy storage on higher‑voltage rails.
- High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from ‑40 °C to 150 °C with a specified life of 1000 hours at 150 °C, supporting sustained use in hot environments.
- Reliability & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 listing and a high‑reliability series designation suitable for automotive electronics and other heavy‑duty applications.
- Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.20 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and a specified leakage current of 196 µA, enabling designers to account for dissipation and standby current.
- Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current 110 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 198 mA at 100 kHz for effective smoothing across a range of switching and line frequencies.
- Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial‑lead form factor; available in bulk or bag packing.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment in lead‑free designs.
- Status — End Of Life.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Power supply decoupling and smoothing in control modules where high operating temperatures and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
- Power Conditioning — Bulk and ripple suppression on higher‑voltage rails (up to 160 V) for DC‑DC converters and intermediate bus capacitors in compact assemblies.
- Sensor and Actuator Power — Local energy storage and noise filtering for sensors and actuators exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- High‑temperature capability: Rated to 150 °C with a defined 1000‑hour endurance, enabling use in thermally stressed locations.
- Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 listing supports integration into designs requiring industry‑level component qualifications.
- Compact radial footprint: Small φ10 × 12.5 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in space‑constrained PCBs.
- Measurable ripple performance: Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents allow accurate thermal and reliability calculations for power stages.
- Predictable electrical behavior: Defined tan δ and leakage current figures provide clear parameters for loss and standby current budgeting.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports adoption in lead‑free manufacturing flows.
