Overview of UKL1E150KDD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, Low Leakage, Radial Lead
The UKL1E150KDD is a low-leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, providing 15 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating. Designed for audio applications, it combines a compact φ5 × 11 mm package with low leakage and measurable ripple-current capability for use in through-hole assemblies.
Key value comes from its low leakage specification and defined ripple-current performance across low and high frequencies, delivering predictable behavior in DC and AC filtering roles within its rated temperature and lifetime parameters.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 15 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Rated Voltage — 25 V DC rating suitable for common low-voltage circuits.
- Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 0.75 µA, reflecting the UKL series' focus on minimized leakage behavior.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 85 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 170 mA (10 kHz), supporting both power-supply smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling tasks.
- Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum-can package (φ5 × 11 mm) with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
Unique Advantages
- Low leakage for low quiescent loss: The specified 0.75 µA leakage current supports designs where minimal leakage is required to preserve DC operating points.
- Defined ripple performance across frequencies: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear limits for both low-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency filtering tasks.
- Compact radial footprint: The φ5 × 11 mm can and 2.0 mm lead spacing deliver a small through-hole solution for space-constrained boards.
- Specified life at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85°C gives a measurable endurance metric for thermal lifecycle planning.
- Polarized aluminum-can robustness: Traditional radial-can construction provides predictable mechanical and electrical behavior in through-hole audio and PCB-mounted circuits.
- RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmental and regulatory alignment.
Why Choose UKL1E150KDD?
UKL1E150KDD is positioned for engineers seeking a compact, low-leakage aluminum electrolytic capacitor for audio-domain and general-purpose through-hole applications. Its combination of low leakage, specified ripple-current ratings at both low and high frequencies, and a defined 2000-hour endurance at 85°C delivers predictable electrical behavior for designs that require stable filtering and decoupling within the stated operating range.
This part is well suited for projects where a small polar aluminum can with clear electrical limits is required and where RoHS compliance is necessary. The straightforward radial-lead form factor and packaging options (bulk/bag) make it compatible with manual and wave assembly workflows.
