UHD1C152MHD

The UHD1C152MHD is a high-reliability, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UHD series. It is a polarized, radial-lead component specified at 1500 µF and 16 V, optimized for designs that require compact bulk capacitance with elevated ripple capability.

Designed for general-purpose electronic assemblies, the UHD1C152MHD combines low impedance at higher frequencies, a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm can, and a 5000-hour endurance rating at 105°C to deliver stable performance across a wide operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• High Ripple Current — Rated low frequency ripple current of 1.888 A at 120 Hz and high frequency ripple current of 2.36 A at 100 kHz, supporting elevated ripple environments.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, and spec sheet highlights lower impedance in the high-frequency range for improved AC performance.
• Extended Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 240 µA (measured conditions in product data).
• Compact Radial Package — Cylindrical aluminum can, size φ12.5 × 20 mm (lead spacing 5 mm) in a radial-lead configuration for through-hole mounting; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements as indicated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general-purpose circuit designs that require a 16 V, 1500 µF polarized radial-lead capacitor with broad temperature capability.
• High-Ripple Circuits — Applicable where higher ripple current handling is needed, leveraging rated ripple currents of 1.888 A (120 Hz) and 2.36 A (100 kHz).
• Thermally Demanding Designs — Designed for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 5000-hour life rating at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance format — 1500 µF in a φ12.5 × 20 mm can conserves board area while providing substantial bulk capacitance.
• Frequency-aware performance — Lower impedance at higher frequencies and specified tan δ support applications where AC performance matters.
• Elevated ripple tolerance — High ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies help accommodate demanding ripple environments without overspecifying the design.
• Robust thermal endurance — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C reduces the need for frequent replacement in high-temperature applications.
• Through-hole simplicity — Radial lead form and standard 5 mm lead spacing simplify assembly and prototyping for through-hole designs.
• Environmentally compliant — RoHS status is explicitly indicated in the product data.
