UCY2E151MHD6

The UCY2E151MHD6 is a Nichicon UCY-series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, engineered for high reliability and long operational life. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with low dissipation and specified ripple handling for demanding power applications.

Targeted use cases include power supplies and ballast circuits, and the part is qualified for AEC‑Q200 environments while remaining RoHS compliant — providing a balance of durability, ripple performance, and compact packaging.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF nominal capacitance rated at 250 V DC.
• Low dissipation factor: tanδ (DF) = 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for efficient AC performance.
• High ripple current capability: 990 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.98 A at 100 kHz (high frequency).
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 1600 µA.
• Long life / endurance: Rated for 12,000 hours at 105°C under the DC bias plus rated ripple current test conditions.
• Operating temperature range: −40°C to +105°C to support elevated ambient applications.
• Package & mounting: Radial lead can, size φ12.5 × 40 mm (lead spacing 5.0 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance); packaged in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Reliability & compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
• Polarized device: Designed for polarized applications; radial lead form for through‑hole mounting.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies: Energy storage and smoothing in industrial and electronic power supply stages where high ripple handling and long life are required.
• Ballast circuits: DC link and filtering roles in ballast and lamp‑drive applications benefiting from the part’s high ripple capability.
• Automotive electronics: Suitable for automotive applications that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and operation across −40°C to +105°C.
• Industrial controls: Filtering and decoupling in motor drives, inverters, and control modules where endurance at elevated temperature is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 12,000 hours at 105°C supports designs that demand sustained performance in hot environments.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents (990 mA @120 Hz and 1.98 A @100 kHz) enable effective AC stress management in power stages.
• Qualification for demanding applications: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an added assurance for design validation in regulated sectors.
• Compact radial can: φ12.5 × 40 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing delivers a space‑efficient through‑hole solution for PCB power areas.
• Low dissipation factor: tanδ = 0.20 at 20°C, 120 Hz helps minimize AC losses in filtering applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for global regulatory alignment.
