UHV1C152MPD

The UHV1C152MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UHV series, engineered for general-purpose power-filtering and decoupling where high ripple capability and low impedance are required. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage in a compact φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for applications operating from –40 °C to 105 °C, the part combines high ripple-current capability, controlled impedance, and long-term endurance (6000 hours at 105 °C) for robust performance in industrial and electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 57 mΩ (typical condition listed) to support lower voltage ripple and improved high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.296 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.16 A (100 kHz), enabling effective filtering across a wide frequency range.
• Endurance — 6000 hours rated life at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with specified limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after the endurance test.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C for use in temperature-variable environments.
• Physical & Mounting — Radial-lead, polarized aluminum can in φ10 × 20 mm size with 5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — Measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; datasheet maximum tan δ for 16 V is 0.15, with an additional 0.02 added for capacitances above 1000 µF as specified in the series datasheet.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured to comply with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in DC power rails where 1500 µF and 16 V capacity reduce output ripple and stabilize regulators.
• DC-DC Converters — Input/output filtering for converters requiring low impedance and elevated ripple handling at both low and high switching frequencies.
• Industrial Electronics — Energy storage and transient suppression in control electronics that operate across −40 °C to 105 °C and demand long endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.296 A (120 Hz) and 2.16 A (100 kHz) support robust filtering across common power and switching frequencies.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for space-constrained board layouts while retaining high capacitance.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 6000 hours at 105 °C under rated conditions provides predictable life characteristics for sustained thermal stress.
• Controlled loss characteristics: Specified tan δ values (with series-defined allowance for high capacitance) enable predictable AC loss and thermal behavior.
• Low leakage current: Leakage specified (240 µA) and governed by the series leakage-current criteria for stable long-term performance.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally restricted substance requirements.
