UHW1A152MPD

The UHW1A152MPD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHW series. It is a radial-lead, polarized component offering 1500 µF capacitance at 10 V, engineered for high reliability and elevated ripple-current capability.

Designed for general-purpose electronics, this part combines low impedance at high frequency, a compact φ10 × 16 mm can, and a 10000-hour endurance rating at 105°C to meet demanding thermal and ripple environments in space-constrained through-hole designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 1500 µF (1.5 mF) with a rated voltage of 10 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.0 A (10 kHz) support demanding AC load conditions.
• Low Impedance & Loss — Measured impedance of 90 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz; the UHW series specifies lower impedance at high frequency ranges.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 10000 hours at 105°C, providing stable performance over extended operating periods under rated conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating from −40°C to +105°C for robust performance across a broad thermal envelope.
• Compact Radial-Lead Package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assembly processes.
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 150 µA.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Serves as a general-purpose polarized electrolytic capacitor where compact size and reliability are required.
• High-Ripple Environments — Appropriate for circuits that demand elevated ripple-current capability and reduced high-frequency impedance within constrained space.
• Through-Hole Designs — Radial-lead construction and standard lead spacing make it suitable for through-hole PCB assemblies and manual or wave-solder processes.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.0 A (10 kHz) enable the capacitor to withstand significant AC stress in operation.
• Reduced high-frequency impedance: A measured impedance of 90 mΩ and series design emphasis on lower impedance at high frequency improve performance in AC and decoupling scenarios.
• Compact footprint: The φ10 × 16 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing deliver a small, easy-to-place through-hole solution for space-constrained designs.
• Extended high-temperature life: 10000 hours at 105°C provides predictable longevity for long-term deployments under rated conditions.
• Low leakage: Specified leakage current of 150 µA helps maintain circuit stability in DC conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory conformity in applicable markets.
