UHW1J152MHD

The UHW1J152MHD is a Nichicon UHW-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, rated at 1500 µF and 63 V. It delivers high capacitance and elevated ripple-current capability in a compact φ16 × 35.5 mm package for general-purpose electronic circuits.

Designed for applications requiring sustained operation at elevated temperature, this part provides long endurance (12,000 hours at 105°C) and low impedance characteristics to support reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing in through-hole assemblies.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 1500 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 63 V; impedance specified at 66 mΩ.
• Low loss characteristics — tanδ (DF) listed as 0.09 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for 63 V parts; datasheet notes an additional 0.02 increment for capacitances above 1000 µF per 1000 µF increase.
• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.86 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.1 A (10 kHz) to support circuits with significant AC stress.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current 945 µA.
• Long endurance — Rated for 12,000 hours at 105°C under specified DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation.
• Radial, through-hole package — φ16 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Polarized — Designed for polarized circuit installations.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power smoothing — Bulk capacitance for energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose circuits where 1500 µF at 63 V is required.
• High-ripple environments — Circuits that require elevated ripple-current handling benefit from 1.86 A (120 Hz) and 3.1 A (10 kHz) ripple specifications.
• Through-hole PCB designs — Radial lead format with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in compact, serviceable through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance in a small can — 1500 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm package reduces board area compared with larger-diameter alternatives.
• Robust ripple handling — Clear low- and high-frequency ripple-current ratings help engineers size capacitors for applications with significant AC stress.
• Extended high-temperature life — 12,000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and reliability for long-term installations.
• Low impedance — 66 mΩ impedance supports efficient charge/discharge behavior and reduces voltage drop under load.
• Predictable dissipation — Specified tanδ and guidance for large-capacitance adjustments let designers account for AC loss in thermal and performance calculations.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements for applications requiring restricted substance compliance.
