Overview of UKL1H150KED – 50 V, 150 µF Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (Low Leakage)
The UKL1H150KED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UKL series, offered in a radial lead, standard-type can. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with low leakage characteristics and compact dimensions (φ6.3 × 11 mm).
Key attributes include low leakage current, specified ripple-handling capability at both low and high frequency, and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C. This part is suitable for audio applications where compact size and stable performance are required. Note: this part is End Of Life and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Tolerance — 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing predictable energy storage and filtering behavior.
- Rated Voltage — 50 V DC rating appropriate for a range of low-voltage power and audio circuits.
- Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1.5 µA, enabling minimal DC loss and stable bias conditions in sensitive circuits.
- Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 95 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 190 mA at 10 kHz for effective smoothing across a range of operating frequencies.
- Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable AC loss characteristics for audio coupling and filtering.
- Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated life of 2000 hours at 85°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for reliable performance in typical ambient conditions.
- Package and Mounting — Compact radial lead can (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for reduced hazardous substances.
Typical Applications
- Audio circuitry — Designed for use in audio equipment where low leakage, compact size, and stable filtering are required.
Unique Advantages
- Low leakage for stable biasing — The specified low leakage current (1.5 µA) helps maintain DC operating points in sensitive audio and signal circuits.
- Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing minimizes PCB footprint while preserving through-hole reliability.
- Broad ripple handling — Defined ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide usable performance for power smoothing and decoupling across common audio frequencies.
- Proven endurance at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 85°C life rating supports designs requiring sustained operation in warm environments.
- Clear electrical characterization — Specified tan δ and leakage values at 20°C, 120 Hz make it straightforward to model AC loss and DC leakage in designs.
