UKL1E152KHD

The UKL1E152KHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UKL low-leakage series. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low leakage current and elevated ripple-handling capability targeted for audio applications.

Key characteristics include low leakage (75 µA), robust ripple current performance (1.27 A at 120 Hz and 1.46 A at 10 kHz), a compact φ16 × 30.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing, and an operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C. Note: this part is End Of Life and the series is scheduled for discontinuation; it is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Core Electricals  1500 µF capacitance with ±10% tolerance and a 25 V rated voltage provides substantial bulk capacitance for low-voltage audio circuits.
• Low Leakage Performance  Specified leakage current of 75 µA supports designs where reduced standby or bias leakage is important.
• High Ripple-Current Capability  Low-frequency ripple current of 1.27 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.46 A (10 kHz) help manage power-rail ripple in audio applications.
• Endurance  Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C, meeting the UKL series endurance specification for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Radial Lead Package  φ16 × 30.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting simplifies through-hole assembly and replacement workflows.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured to comply with RoHS directive requirements.
• Packaging Options  Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing to suit procurement and assembly preferences.

Typical Applications

• Audio  Designed for audio circuitry where 1500 µF bulk capacitance and low leakage are required to support power rails and filtering.
• Audio  Useful in consumer and pro-audio equipment that benefit from enhanced ripple-current handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Audio  Applicable where a compact radial electrolytic with a φ16 can and 7.5 mm lead spacing is needed for through-hole PCB layouts in audio products.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced standby/bias drain: Low specified leakage current (75 µA) helps minimize unwanted current draw in powered audio circuits.
• Broad ripple handling: Specified ripple currents of 1.27 A (120 Hz) and 1.46 A (10 kHz) support both low-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ16 × 30.5 mm radial-can package with standard 7.5 mm lead spacing fits common through-hole layouts and simplifies replacement.
• Endurance under elevated temperature: 2000 hours rated life at 85 °C provides predictable aging behavior for sustained operation within the specified temperature range.
• RoHS conformity: Compliant manufacturing helps meet regulatory material requirements for a wide range of equipment.
• Flexible packing: Bulk or bag packing options support different inventory and assembly workflows.

Why Choose UKL1E152KHD?

UKL1E152KHD delivers a combination of high bulk capacitance (1500 µF), low leakage (75 µA), and clear ripple-current specifications that address the needs of audio-focused designs requiring stable power-rail filtering and ripple tolerance. The radial can format (φ16 × 30.5 mm) and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing make it straightforward to integrate into through‑hole PCBs and serviceable assemblies.

Because this part and the UKL series are scheduled for discontinuation and are End Of Life (not recommended for new designs), UKL1E152KHD is best suited for maintenance, replacement, or legacy production continuity where the documented electrical and mechanical specifications match existing designs.
