UHW0J152MPD

The UHW0J152MPD is a Nichicon UHW-series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with a compact φ8 × 20 mm package and is specified as a high-reliability type for general-purpose electronic designs.

Designed for applications that require high ripple current handling and long endurance in a small footprint, this part provides low impedance, polarized capacitance, and wide operating temperature capability for reliable operation across a range of embedded and industrial equipment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF (1.5 mF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance.
• High ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.176 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.96 A at 10 kHz, supporting designs with significant AC loading.
• Low impedance — Rated impedance of 120 mΩ helps minimize voltage drop and heat generation under ripple loading.
• Loss performance — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.21 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation behavior.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 94.5 µA after standard initialization, enabling stable DC performance.
• Mechanical and mounting — Radial lead can with φ8 × 20 mm case, lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole PCB mounting.
• Wide temperature range — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C.
• Long endurance — Endurance specified as 9000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, reflecting the UHW series’ high-reliability target.
• Packaging — Available as Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk energy storage and decoupling where a polarized, high-capacitance solution is required.
• Compact power modules and supplies — Miniature φ8 × 20 mm footprint and high ripple current ratings support smoothing and ripple suppression in space-constrained power designs.
• Industrial and embedded systems — Long endurance (9000 h at 105°C) and wide operating temperature range suit continuous-operation electronics requiring reliable DC filtering.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz (1.176 A and 1.96 A) lets designers manage AC stress across low and high frequencies.
• Compact radial can: φ8 × 20 mm case with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides high capacitance in a small through-hole package for tighter board layouts.
• Predictable dissipation: Defined tan δ (0.21 at 6.3 V, 120 Hz) and 120 mΩ impedance permit straightforward thermal and ripple-loss calculations.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 9000-hour endurance at 105°C supports long-term reliability in heated enclosures and continuous-duty applications.
• Stable DC characteristics: Controlled leakage current (94.5 µA) and polarization make the part suitable for stable DC supply filtering tasks.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for lead-free assembly and procurement requirements.
