UCY2H150MHD

The UCY2H150MHD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCY series, designed for high‑reliability, high‑ripple applications. It delivers 15 µF at a 500 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for power supply and ballast applications and qualified to AEC‑Q200, the UCY2H150MHD provides long life and robust performance across a broad temperature range for demanding industrial and automotive use cases.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF nominal capacitance rated for 500 V operation, suitable where compact high‑voltage capacitance is required.
• High ripple capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 220 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 440 mA (100 kHz), supporting applications with elevated AC superimposed on DC.
• Loss characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable AC performance.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 400 µA, allowing predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• Long endurance — Rated life of 10,000 hours at 105°C under specified conditions, supporting extended service in high‑temperature environments.
• Temperature range — Operational from −40°C to +105°C for broad environmental compatibility.
• Compact radial package — φ12.5 × 25 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (lead spacing tolerance 0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
• Compliance & production status — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; available in bulk/bag packing and currently in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies — Smoothing and high‑ripple environments where 500 V voltage capability and specified ripple currents are required.
• Ballast circuits — Suited for ballast applications as indicated in the UCY series documentation.
• Automotive systems — AEC‑Q200 qualification makes the UCY2H150MHD appropriate for automotive electronics requiring high‑voltage, long‑life capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High‑voltage miniaturization: 500 V rating in a φ12.5 × 25 mm can provides substantial DC voltage handling in a small footprint.
• High ripple endurance: Specified low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents (220 mA @120 Hz, 440 mA @100 kHz) support applications with significant AC components.
• Designed for long service life: 10,000 hours at 105°C endurance rating reduces replacement frequency in thermally stressed installations.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating signals suitability for automotive design requirements where applicable.
• predictable electrical behavior: Specified tanδ and leakage current figures allow reliable design verification and modeling.
• Production readiness: RoHS compliant and listed as mass production with bulk/bag packing options for volume deployment.
