UKL1A152MHD

The UKL1A152MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low leakage current applications. With 1500 µF capacitance at 10 V and a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can, it targets audio and related electronic designs that require high capacitance in a through-hole package.

Key value comes from its low leakage specification and robust ripple current capability across low and high frequencies, combined with a -40°C to 85°C operating range and 2000 hours endurance at 85°C for reliable lifetime performance in populated assemblies.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 1500 µF nominal capacitance (±20% tolerance) provides substantial charge storage for smoothing and energy buffering in low-voltage circuits.
• Low Rated Voltage — 10 V rating suited for low-voltage power rails and audio systems where high capacitance at low voltage is required.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 30 µA supports circuits where minimal self-discharge and bias integrity are important.
• Strong Ripple Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 1.02 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.173 A (10 kHz) to handle AC stress across common audio and power-supply frequencies.
• Through-Hole Radial Package — Radial lead construction with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and φ12.5 × 25 mm can dimension simplifies PCB layout for through-hole assembly and hand-soldering.
• Operating Range and Endurance — Specified operating temperature of -40°C to 85°C and rated life of 2000 hours at 85°C support reliable operation in moderate-temperature environments.
• Polarized, RoHS-Compliant — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design and RoHS compliance for regulatory conformity in many electronics applications.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Audio — Bulk capacitance and low leakage make this capacitor suitable for audio equipment power supply smoothing and energy storage in signal-chain hardware.

Unique Advantages

• Low Self-Discharge: The 30 µA leakage current specification helps preserve bias voltages and reduces idle power loss in standby or low-current circuits.
• High Bulk Storage in Compact Can: 1500 µF in a φ12.5 × 25 mm package saves board area while delivering substantial capacitance for smoothing and decoupling.
• Reliable Ripple Performance: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide predictable thermal and electrical behavior across common audio and switching frequencies.
• Through-Hole Convenience: Radial leads with defined 5 mm spacing ease placement and soldering in through-hole and hybrid assemblies.
• Rated Endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C gives a measurable lifetime metric for thermal-stressed designs and planned maintenance cycles.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and products requiring restricted-substance adherence.
