UKL1C152MHD

The UKL1C152MHD is a 1500 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for through‑hole mounting. With low leakage current and defined ripple-current performance across low and high frequencies, it is targeted for audio and related electronic applications where reliable smoothing and energy storage are required.

Engineered for operation from –40°C to 85°C with a 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C, this radial package balances compact size (φ16 × 25 mm) and robust electrical performance for board-level power circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk filtering and decoupling in power rails.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating for low-voltage power supply applications.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 48 µA, minimizing standby loss and reducing offset in sensitive circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.15 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.323 A (10 kHz), supporting both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling needs.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from –40°C to 85°C with a lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C, providing predictable behavior under elevated ambient conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead package, case size φ16 × 25 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), optimized for through-hole assembly and reliable board retention.
• Polarized Construction — Standard polarized electrolytic design for DC power circuits.
• RoHS Compliant & Packaging — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production handling preferences.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supply Filtering — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple smoothing in audio amplifiers and preamplifier power rails.
• Consumer Electronics — Used in board-level power management and decoupling where a compact through-hole electrolytic capacitor is required.
• General Power Filtering — Suitable for low-voltage DC power supplies and regulator output smoothing in embedded systems.

Unique Advantages

• Measured Low Leakage — 48 µA leakage current helps reduce quiescent losses and leakage-related offsets in precision circuits.
• Broad Ripple Capability — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support filtering across a wide frequency range common in mixed-signal and audio designs.
• Compact Radial Footprint — φ16 × 25 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing provide a balance of capacitance density and easy through-hole placement on crowded PCBs.
• Qualified Endurance Rating — 2000 hours at 85°C provides predictable lifetime characteristics for designs requiring defined high-temperature endurance.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets environmental compliance requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
