Overview of UFW1E153MRD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead
The UFW1E153MRD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for audio equipment. It delivers 15,000 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a φ22 × 50 mm can suitable for through-hole assemblies.
Engineered for audio-focused designs, this device combines high capacitance, specified ripple-current performance and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C, providing predictable behavior across the product's stated temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage, offering large energy storage for audio applications.
- Tolerance & Polarization: Capacitance tolerance is −20% to +20% and the capacitor is polarized.
- Loss Angle (tan δ): Measured tan δ (DF) is 0.44 at 20°C, 120 Hz and 25 V, providing an explicit dissipation characteristic for design analysis.
- Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current is 3.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current is 4.37 A at 10 kHz, supporting power supply filtering across audio frequency ranges.
- Leakage Current: Specified leakage current is 11,250 µA (as provided), for use in designs where standby and quiescent currents are considered.
- Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C, with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
- Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 10 mm (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting; available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing.
- Physical Size: Body diameter φ22 mm and length 50 mm (L: 5.0 cm × D: 2.2 cm), suitable where a compact high-capacitance through-hole component is required.
- Lifecycle Status: Product status is listed as End Of Life.
Typical Applications
- Audio equipment — Designed for use in audio equipment where 15,000 µF at 25 V is required for power supply decoupling and energy storage.
- Audio power supplies — Specified ripple-current ratings (3.8 A at 120 Hz; 4.37 A at 10 kHz) support smoothing and filtering duties in audio power rails.
- Audio system boards — Radial-lead, can package (φ22 × 50 mm) with 10 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole placement on serviceable audio PCBs.
Unique Advantages
- High total capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial charge reserve for audio circuits that require sustained energy delivery.
- Documented ripple performance: Distinct low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (120 Hz and 10 kHz) let engineers size components with frequency-specific confidence.
- Measured dissipation factor: Provided tan δ value at the rated conditions allows accurate thermal and loss assessments during design.
- Through-hole, serviceable package: Radial-lead can form factor with defined lead spacing simplifies assembly and replacement in serviceable audio equipment.
- Elevated-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C endurance rating supports reliability planning for equipment operating in warmer environments within the stated temperature range.
- Clear physical specification: Exact body dimensions (φ22 × 50 mm) and lead spacing (10 mm ±0.5 mm) facilitate mechanical integration into PCB layouts and chassis designs.
