UHE1C152MPD

The UHE1C152MPD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UHE series, offering 1.5 mF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating. It delivers low impedance and high ripple‑current capability in a compact φ10 × 30.5 mm can suitable for general‑purpose electronic designs.

Designed for applications requiring extended endurance, the part is specified for operation from −40°C to 105°C with a rated endurance of 7000 hours at 105°C, supporting reliable performance in continuous DC bias and ripple environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & voltage: 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low impedance: Rated impedance of 120 mΩ, supporting low‑loss filtering and decoupling in power rails.
• High ripple current handling: Low‑frequency ripple current 1.528 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.91 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing across a range of ripple frequencies.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Specified life of 7000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, aligned with UHE series reliability data.
• Wide operating temperature range: Rated for −40°C to 105°C for use across typical commercial and industrial ambient conditions.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 30.5 mm can, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for through‑hole PCB layouts.
• Leakage and dissipation: Leakage current specified at 240 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable electrical behavior.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• General purpose electronics: Use where a compact, high‑capacitance radial electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Power supply filtering: Suitable for smoothing and ripple reduction on low‑voltage DC rails within its 16 V rating.
• Industrial control electronics: Applicable in control and monitoring modules that demand operation across −40°C to 105°C and sustained ripple current handling.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 7000 hours at 105°C provides long service life under sustained elevated temperature and DC bias conditions.
• High ripple capability across frequencies: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (1.528 A and 1.91 A) accommodate both low‑ and high‑frequency noise environments.
• Low impedance performance: 120 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage drop and heat generation in filtering applications.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 30.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing makes the part easy to place in tight through‑hole assemblies while providing substantial capacitance.
• Predictable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current values give designers measurable parameters for stability and power loss calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental requirements for lead‑free assemblies.
