UKL1H150MED

The UKL1H150MED is a Nichicon UKL series aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for applications that demand low leakage in a compact radial-lead package. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating with a polarized radial-can form factor sized φ6.3 × 11 mm and 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Key electrical attributes include very low leakage current (1.5 µA), specified ripple current performance across low and high frequencies, and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C. Status: Products which are scheduled to be discontinued — not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for circuits requiring moderate energy storage in a small footprint.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specified at 1.5 µA, supporting designs that require minimal self-discharge and stable DC bias behavior.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple: 95 mA at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple: 190 mA at 10 kHz, enabling use in both power smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling contexts.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 2000 hours at 85°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for sustained performance under thermal stress.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm and 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), designed for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Polarized — Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing for flexible inventory handling.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Low leakage and compact radial packaging make the capacitor appropriate for audio circuitry that benefits from stable DC bias and compact form factors.
• Power supply smoothing — Useful where moderate capacitance and defined ripple-handling at both low and high frequencies are required for supply filtering.
• Repair and legacy designs — Matches legacy footprints and electrical characteristics for maintenance or replacement in existing assemblies that specify this package and performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low self-discharge: 1.5 µA leakage current reduces voltage loss over time and helps preserve stored charge in DC applications.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide predictable performance from line-frequency smoothing to higher-frequency decoupling.
• Compact footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm radial-can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing offers a small through-hole solution without sacrificing capacitance.
• Operational endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C provides an established baseline for thermal reliability under rated conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for lead-free assemblies.
