UCY2G150MPD

The UCY2G150MPD is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UCY series. It delivers 15 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating in a compact φ10×20L can with 5 mm lead spacing, optimized for through-hole power and industrial assemblies.

Designed for high ripple environments and long service life, this part targets power-supply filtering, ballast circuits and automotive power electronics where high voltage, long endurance and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 15 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20%, rated for 400 V DC and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.24 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 180 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 360 mA at 100 kHz, supporting demanding power-filtering applications.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 10,000 hours at 105 °C under specified conditions, suitable for extended duty at elevated temperatures.
• Leakage and Stability — Specified leakage current of 340 µA and stable low-temperature impedance characteristics as defined in the UCY series datasheet.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10×20L can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial lead mount style for easy through-hole placement and soldering.
• Compliance and Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS-compliant construction for regulated and automotive-adjacent applications.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to support different assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Bulk filtering and decoupling in automotive power electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and long life at 105 °C are required.
• Power supplies — DC link and output filtering in high-voltage power supplies and converters that need 400 V rating and robust ripple handling.
• Ballast circuits — Series-specified suitability for ballast and lamp-driver applications requiring durable, high-voltage capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails while maintaining compact φ10 can size.
• High ripple tolerance: Distinct low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (180 mA @120 Hz, 360 mA @100 kHz) support a wide range of switching and line-frequency loads.
• Extended operational life: 10,000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable long-term performance for prolonged duty cycles.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports designs targeting automotive and similarly demanding environments.
• Compact, through-hole form factor: Radial lead can (φ10×20L) with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies assembly on conventional PCBs and prototyping rigs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for use in regulated product lines.
