UKL1C151KPD

The UKL1C151KPD is a low-leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, offering 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance and a 16 V rated voltage. It delivers low leakage current (4.8 µA), defined ripple-current capability (280 mA at 120 Hz and 420 mA at 10 kHz), and a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm package with 3.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting.

This part is RoHS compliant and designed for audio and other through‑hole applications that require low leakage and a small radial footprint. Note: the product is currently End Of Life and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 4.8 µA supports circuits that require minimal self-discharge and stable bias over time.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage audio and general-purpose applications.
• Ripple Current Performance — 280 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 420 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for handling both mains-frequency and higher-frequency ripple components.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Specified life of 2000 hours at 85°C and an operating range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and radial leads for through-hole assembly and replacement applications.
• Polarized, Through-Hole Mounting — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for conventional PCB mounting methods.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or repair runs.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Suited for audio circuit implementations where low leakage and stable capacitance are required.
• Through‑Hole PCB Designs — Radial-lead format with 3.5 mm spacing for easy insertion and manual or wave solder assembly.
• Legacy Equipment Repair — Compact φ8 can size and standard lead spacing make it suitable for replacement of radial electrolytics in existing assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced Bias Loss: Low leakage current (4.8 µA) helps maintain circuit bias and minimizes drift over storage or low-power intervals.
• Dual‑Frequency Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to account for mains and higher-frequency switching components.
• Space-Efficient Footprint: φ8 × 11.5 mm can provides a compact through-hole solution for space-constrained boards.
• Predictable Endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C offers defined lifetime behavior for thermal stress planning.
• Assembly Flexibility: Offered in bulk or bag packing to match production or service needs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated end products.
