UCM1A152MNL1GS

The UCM1A152MNL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCM series, engineered as a chip-type, low-impedance solution. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ10 × 10 mm can for space-constrained power designs.

Designed for harsh operating environments, this part supports a −55 °C to +105 °C temperature range, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and taped packaging for automated assembly, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive electronics use cases.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance rated at 10 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage and decoupling on low-voltage rails.
• Chip-type, Low Impedance — Chip construction optimized for lower ESR and improved ripple handling compared with conventional radial SMD cans.
• Ripple Current Performance — 595 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.19 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), supporting high ripple environments in switching power stages and DC–DC converters.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.19 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation characteristics for power applications.
• Leakage and Endurance — Specified leakage current of 150 µA and endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C (φD ≤ 10), supporting sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C for reliability across a broad set of ambient conditions.
• Package and Assembly — φ10 × 10L can in an SMD radial-style package with embossed carrier taping for pick-and-place automation; recommended PCB land size 10.3 × 10.3 mm.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 rated as specified, supporting regulated and automotive-oriented designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 10 V rails within automotive modules that require AEC‑Q200-qualified components and wide temperature tolerance.
• DC–DC converter output filtering — High capacitance and substantial ripple-current capability make it suitable for output smoothing in step-down converters.
• Power-supply decoupling for industrial control — Compact, high-capacitance SMD form factor for noise suppression and transient buffering in industrial power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 1500 µF in a φ10 × 10 mm package reduces board area for bulk energy storage compared with larger discrete options.
• Designed for ripple-heavy environments — Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (595 mA at 120 Hz and 1.19 A at 10 kHz) support switching power stages and high-frequency loads.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating and −55 °C to +105 °C operation enable use in temperature-critical automotive and industrial applications.
• Taped for automated assembly — Embossed carrier taping streamlines placement on automated pick-and-place equipment, simplifying production flow.
• Endurance at elevated temperature — Rated 2000 hours at 105 °C for sustained performance in high-temperature environments.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant to support environmentally regulated designs.
