UKL1H152MHD

The UKL1H152MHD is a Nichicon UKL-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1.5 mF capacitance with low leakage characteristics in a radial‑lead can. Designed for applications where significant capacitance, controlled dielectric loss and reliable ripple handling are required, it is particularly suited to audio equipment and related electronics.

This radial, polarized capacitor delivers a 50 V rated voltage, 1500 µF nominal capacitance (±20%) and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C, providing predictable performance across a −40°C to 85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing applications.
• Rated Voltage — 50 V rated voltage for mid‑voltage power and audio supply rails.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 150 µA, reducing standby losses and preserving charge in bias‑sensitive circuits.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) = 0.1 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (50 V), supporting efficient energy storage with controlled dissipation.
• High Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current 1.48 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.702 A (10 kHz), enabling reliable filtering across a range of switching and line frequencies.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — 2000 hours life at 85°C and an operating range of −40°C to 85°C for use in typical commercial and industrial environments.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package (φ18 × 40 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Audio systems — Bulk filtering and supply smoothing in audio equipment, benefiting from 1500 µF capacitance and low leakage for stable bias and power rails.
• Power supply decoupling for audio electronics — Handles low‑ and high‑frequency ripple currents (1.48 A at 120 Hz, 1.702 A at 10 kHz) for cleaner audio power delivery.
• Energy reservoir in signal chains — Provides charge storage for circuits requiring sustained supply during dynamic audio loads.

Unique Advantages

• Lower standby losses: The specified 150 µA leakage current reduces unwanted discharge and helps maintain circuit bias over time.
• Measured low dissipation: tan δ = 0.1 at 20°C/120 Hz (50 V) supports efficient energy storage with reduced self‑heating in continuous use.
• Versatile ripple performance: Capable of handling 1.48 A at 120 Hz and 1.702 A at 10 kHz, allowing the same part to address both mains‑frequency and switching‑frequency ripple.
• Compact radial package: φ18 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial leads simplifies PCB placement and wiring in through‑hole designs.
• Designed for extended operation: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C, providing predictable lifetime behavior for deployed systems within the specified temperature range.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to environmental requirements for restricted substances.
