UHW0J153MHD

The UHW0J153MHD is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UHW series, offering very high capacitance (15,000 µF) at a 6.3 V rating in a compact radial can. It combines high ripple current capability and low impedance to support general-purpose power applications that require bulk energy storage and smoothing.

Designed for long-term reliability, this component is specified for operation from -40°C to 105°C with a 10,000 hour endurance at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding power environments where sustained ripple handling and stability are required.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF Large capacitance for bulk charge storage and smoothing in low-voltage power rails.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V Low-voltage rating optimized for modern low-voltage power systems.
• High Ripple Current Supports 3.57 A at 120 Hz and 4.20 A at 10 kHz (frequency-dependent), enabling effective handling of switching regulator ripple and dynamic loads.
• Low Impedance — 30 mΩ Low ESR improves voltage stability under load and contributes to better high-frequency performance.
• Long Endurance Specified life of 10,000 hours at 105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Wide Operating Temperature Rated from -40°C to +105°C for reliable operation across a broad thermal range.
• Compact Radial Can Size φ16 × 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 × D: 1.6 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; radial lead mounting for through-hole designs.
• Electrical Characteristics Tan δ = 0.49 (20°C, 120 Hz), leakage current 945 µA, polarization: polar. These parameters are provided for design verification.
• RoHS Compliant & Packaging Compliant to RoHS. Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk capacitance and high ripple current capability make this part suitable for smoothing and energy storage on low-voltage power rails.
• Switching Regulator Output Decoupling — Low impedance and elevated high-frequency ripple rating support output filtering for switching converters.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — Robust temperature range and long endurance provide stability for general-purpose electronic equipment requiring sustained capacitance and ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• Large charge-storage in a compact can: 15,000 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm package provides significant bulk capacitance where board space is constrained.
• Designed for high ripple environments: Frequency-rated ripple current up to 4.20 A at 10 kHz addresses demands of modern switching power supplies.
• Predictable thermal endurance: 10,000 hour life at 105°C with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current helps with long-term reliability planning.
• Low ESR for improved performance: 30 mΩ impedance reduces voltage drop and heat generation under dynamic load conditions.
• Through-hole mounting flexibility: Radial lead format and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify replacement and prototyping in board-level designs.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports use in regions requiring restricted substances conformance.
