UHV1C151MED

The UHV1C151MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UHV series, specified at 150 µF and 16 V. It combines a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with low impedance characteristics and rated ripple handling for general-purpose electronic applications.

Designed for board-level use where a polarized electrolytic is required, the part delivers defined electrical performance across a −40°C to 105°C operating range and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.15 at 20°C, 120 Hz (rated voltage 16 V).
• Ripple Current Capability Rated low-frequency ripple current of 180 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 450 mA at 100 kHz, supporting designs that require sustained ripple handling.
• Low Leakage Typical leakage current specified as 24 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C), derived from product leakage specification.
• Robust Temperature & Endurance Operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C and endurance rated for 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package φ6.3 × 11 mm can, radial lead mounting with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) for compact board-level placement.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant according to the product data.
• Packaging Options Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match different assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics Suitable where a polarized radial aluminum electrolytic of 150 µF/16 V is required for circuit designs categorized as general purpose.
• Ripple-Handling Power Circuits Use in designs that require specific ripple current ratings — 180 mA at 120 Hz and 450 mA at 100 kHz — to meet ripple management targets.
• Compact Board-Level Energy Storage The small φ6.3 × 11 mm case supports low-profile, space-constrained placements while providing bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Defined High-Frequency Performance: The UHV series emphasizes lower impedance at high frequency, supporting applications that benefit from reduced AC impedance.
• Verified Ripple Ratings: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow straightforward verification against design ripple requirements.
• Low Leakage: A measured leakage current of 24 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C) helps minimize standby losses in DC circuits.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −40°C to 105°C rating supports deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Compact, Board-Friendly Form Factor: φ6.3 × 11 mm radial can with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in dense assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements as stated in the product data for regulatory alignment.
