UHW1H152MHD

The UHW1H152MHD is a 1500 µF, 50 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, part of Nichicon’s UHW series. It delivers a compact footprint (φ12.5 × 35.5 mm) with low impedance and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic designs.

Designed for applications that require long endurance and stable performance across a wide temperature range, this capacitor offers a 10,000-hour rated life at 105°C and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage in general-purpose circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.286 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.81 A (10 kHz), supporting demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 57 mΩ, optimized for reduced voltage drop and improved high-frequency performance.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.10 at 20°C, 120 Hz and 50 V, providing predictable dissipation characteristics for design calculations.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C with an operating range of −40°C to +105°C for reliable long-term operation.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ12.5 mm diameter, 35.5 mm length) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 750 µA for predictable standby characteristics.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant and in mass production; available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Suited for DC power rails where high ripple current handling and bulk capacitance are required to stabilize voltage under load.
• Power Conversion & Motor Drives — Radial-lead format and elevated ripple capability address the demands of converter output smoothing and intermediate bus decoupling.
• Industrial Electronics — Long endurance (10,000 h at 105°C) and wide operating temperature range make it appropriate for industrial general-purpose circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Measured ripple currents of 2.286 A (120 Hz) and 3.81 A (10 kHz) reduce risk of overheating in AC-stressed circuits.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 57 mΩ impedance supports lower loss and improved transient response in power applications.
• Compact, through-hole packaging: φ12.5 × 35.5 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing fits space-constrained PCBs while enabling robust soldered connections.
• Long operational life: 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C supports extended service intervals in continuous-duty installations.
• predictable dissipation: tan δ = 0.10 (120 Hz, 20°C, 50 V) and defined leakage current (750 µA) simplify thermal and leakage budgeting.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports use in designs requiring restricted-substance conformity.
