Overview of UFW0J153MHD – 15,000 µF Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 6.3 V
The UFW0J153MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for audio equipment applications. It delivers very large bulk capacitance in a compact φ16×35.5 mm can, making it suitable for power-filtering and energy-storage roles in low-voltage audio circuits.
Key value comes from its 15,000 µF capacitance, high ripple-current capability, and a specified 2,000-hour endurance at 85°C, providing designers with a dependable through-hole option for demanding audio power supplies.
Key Features
- High Capacitance — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in low-voltage audio power rails.
- Low-Voltage Rating — Rated at 6.3 V, suited for low-voltage amplifier and preamplifier supply sections.
- Ripple Current Performance — 2.550 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.933 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple and dynamic current demands in audio supplies.
- Loss Tangent — tan δ = 0.56 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, documented for predictable dissipation characteristics in design calculations.
- Reliability & Endurance — 2,000-hour rated life at 85°C with specified endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current per restoration to 20°C.
- Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to 85°C for deployment across typical ambient conditions encountered in consumer and professional audio equipment.
- Radial Through-Hole Package — φ16×35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and polarized configuration for straightforward PCB mounting and replacement in legacy or repairable designs.
- Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming), enabling flexible handling for production or service use.
Typical Applications
- Audio Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing in amplifier and preamplifier supply rails, leveraging 15,000 µF capacitance and high ripple-current ratings.
- Output Filtering — DC-link and output-stage filtering where large capacitance and through-hole mounting are preferred for thermal and mechanical stability.
- Replacement & Service Parts — Through-hole form factor and standard lead spacing make it suitable for repair and refurbishment of audio equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Substantial Bulk Storage: 15,000 µF provides high energy reserve to stabilize low-voltage audio supplies and reduce low-frequency ripple.
- High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow designers to account for real-world AC stress across audio bandwidths.
- Compact Through-Hole Form: φ16×35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing balances large capacitance with a small PCB footprint for through-hole assemblies.
- Documented Endurance: 2,000 hours at 85°C gives a measurable baseline for life-expectancy planning in equipment exposed to elevated temperatures.
- Polarized Can Construction: Robust radial-can package simplifies mounting and replacement in serviceable products.
