UCY2H150MHD3

The UCY2H150MHD3 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCY series, specified at 15 µF and 500 V. It combines high-voltage capability with a compact radial can package (φ16 × 20L) and is intended for power-supply and ballast applications where high ripple endurance and long life at elevated temperature are required.

This part is designed for demanding environments: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in automotive and industrial power systems, while a rated lifetime of 10,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 15 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for bulk filtering and smoothing in high-voltage rails.
• High Rated Voltage — 500 V rating for use in high-voltage power supplies and ballast circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 220 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 440 mA at 100 kHz, enabling effective ripple absorption across a wide frequency range.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated life of 10,000 hours at 105°C under specified load, supporting long-term operation in hot environments.
• Leakage Current and Loss — Leakage current specified at 400 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stable loss characteristics.
• Environmental & Quality — RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 rated, meeting regulatory and automotive reliability requirements.
• Form Factor — Radial lead can, diameter 16 mm and length 20 mm, with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for production use.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — High-voltage filtering and smoothing in automotive power supplies and electronic control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• Power supplies — Bulk decoupling and ripple suppression in high-voltage DC power supplies and converters.
• Ballast and lighting circuits — Designed for ballast applications where high ripple current tolerance and long life at elevated temperature are important.
• Industrial equipment — High-voltage energy storage and filtering in industrial power electronics operating across –40°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 500 V rating lets designers specify a single capacitor for high-voltage rails without stacking lower-voltage parts.
• Wide ripple-frequency support: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz (220 mA and 440 mA) provide predictable performance from mains frequencies to high-frequency switching environments.
• Long elevated-temperature life: 10,000 hours at 105°C offers long-term stability for designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive and similarly demanding applications requiring component-level qualification.
• Compact radial package: φ16 × 20L can with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient solution for through-hole layouts while retaining high-voltage and ripple-handling characteristics.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into products destined for regulated markets.
