UKA0J153MHD

The UKA0J153MHD is a radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKA series, optimized for high-capacitance bulk storage in compact can-style packages. With a rated capacitance of 15,000 µF at 6.3 V and a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, it is designed for applications that demand substantial energy reserve and stable performance across temperature extremes.

Targeted use cases include high-grade audio equipment and other electronics that require large bulk capacitance, elevated ripple handling, and long endurance under elevated temperature conditions.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance (±20%) provides significant bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling in low-voltage systems.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V working voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and audio circuits requiring large capacitance.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified for −55°C to 105°C, enabling use in environments with broad thermal variation.
• Endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C rated life, providing long-term stability for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 2.01 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.312 A (10 kHz), supporting dynamic load conditions and audio power stages.
• Electrical Loss Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) measured at 0.58 (20°C, 120 Hz) for this part number, enabling evaluable AC loss characteristics.
• Physical and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package sized φ16 × 35.5 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for production handling.
• Quality/Qualification — Listed with AEC-Q200 in specifications, supporting designs that require recognized component-level qualification standards.

Typical Applications

• High-Grade Audio Equipment — Provides large bulk capacitance and ripple handling for power supply smoothing and energy buffering in amplifiers and preamplifiers.
• Power Supply Reservoirs — Useful as a low-voltage bulk reservoir capacitor to stabilize DC rails and absorb transient currents.
• Industrial Electronics — Suitable for control and instrumentation systems that require sustained performance across wide temperature ranges and long endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Large Capacity in Compact Can — 15,000 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm package delivers substantial energy storage while minimizing PCB area.
• Temperature Robustness — Specified operation from −55°C to 105°C and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C supports reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Designed for High Ripple Loads — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.01 A at 120 Hz, 2.312 A at 10 kHz) help manage real-world audio and switching-power stresses.
• Production-Friendly Packaging — Available in bulk or bag packing with standard radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing to simplify assembly and handling.
• Traceable Specification Set — Key parameters (capacitance, tolerance, tan δ, leakage current, endurance) are provided for predictable selection and validation in designs.
