UCD1C152MNJ1MS

The UCD1C152MNJ1MS is a Nichicon UCD series chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 13.5 mm SMD can optimized for high-density PCBs.

Built for demanding temperature and lifetime requirements, this part supports operation from -55 °C to 105 °C and is AEC-Q200 qualified. Its combination of high capacitance, low dissipation factor, and high-frequency ripple capability makes it suitable for robust power filtering and decoupling in vehicle and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low Impedance / Low Loss — Chip-type low-impedance construction with a specified tanδ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy storage and low heating in filtering applications.
• Ripple Current Performance — Handles 550 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.1 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing across a range of switching and rectified power conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 240 µA, suitable for applications where controlled leakage is required.
• Robust Thermal & Lifetime Rating — Operating temperature range from -55 °C to 105 °C with endurance rated to 5000 hours at 105 °C.
• Surface Mount Package — SMD radial can in a φ12.5 × 13.5L package, supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement; recommended land size L: 1.28 × W: 1.28 cm.
• Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-oriented reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk filtering and decoupling on vehicle power rails, leveraging AEC-Q200 qualification and 105 °C endurance for in-vehicle environments.
• On-board Power Supplies — Energy storage and smoothing for DC/DC converters and regulators where 1500 µF at 16 V and high ripple current capability improve transient response.
• Infotainment and Control Modules — Decoupling and bulk capacitance in electronic control units and infotainment power subsystems that require reliable SMD mounting and compact form factor.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can: 1500 µF in a φ12.5 × 13.5 mm package provides significant bulk capacitance while preserving board space.
• Wide Temperature and Long Endurance: -55 °C to 105 °C operation with 5000 hours endurance at 105 °C supports long-term reliability in high-temperature applications.
• Strong Ripple Handling Across Frequencies: Rated ripple currents of 550 mA (120 Hz) and 1.1 A (10 kHz) address both low-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
• Low Dissipation and Controlled Leakage: tanδ of 0.16 (120 Hz, 20 °C) and 240 µA leakage current enable efficient filtering with predictable loss characteristics.
• Manufacturing-Friendly Packaging: Embossed carrier taping supports automated placement, reducing assembly time and improving throughput.
• Automotive-Oriented Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance provide verification for use in regulated automotive and industrial programs.
