UHE2A150MED

The UHE2A150MED is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, offering 15 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating. It is part of Nichicon’s UHE series, which is characterized by a miniature footprint and low impedance.

Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, this radial-lead device delivers compact size, controlled dissipation, and defined ripple and leakage characteristics for board-level power and filtering requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tanδ (DF) of 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling reduced dielectric losses in AC ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low-frequency ripple current of 69.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 126 mA (10 kHz) for defined AC loading conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 15 µA after application of rated voltage, supporting predictable bias behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — Small can size φ6.3 × 11 mm length with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for tight board layouts and radial-lead mounting.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and handling preferences.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
• Lifecycle Status — Listed as End Of Life; verify current availability before specifying in new designs.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable where a compact, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a 100 V rating is required for board-level functions.
• Power Filtering — Used where controlled ripple handling and defined leakage are important within the device’s ripple-current and temperature limits.
• Compact Radial-Lead Designs — Fits small enclosures and PCB areas where a radial-can capacitor with 2.5 mm lead spacing is preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can size enables space-efficient placement in constrained layouts.
• Defined AC performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple-current ratings provide predictable behavior across common ripple frequencies.
• Low dissipation: tanδ of 0.08 at 20°C, 120 Hz minimizes dielectric losses where AC ripple is present.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to 105°C supports a broad range of environmental conditions within the lifetime rating.
• Series pedigree: Being part of Nichicon’s UHE series associates this part with the series’ miniature sizing and low-impedance design approach.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS for regulated-substance requirements in assemblies.
