Overview of UKL2A150KPD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 15 µF, 100 V
The UKL2A150KPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low leakage current applications. It delivers 15 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can, with specifications targeted at audio and related electronic equipment.
With polarized radial leads, defined lead spacing, and endurance specified at 2000 hours at 85°C, this part is suited for designs that require stable leakage performance, controlled ripple handling, and a small through-hole package footprint.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Tolerance — 15 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance (K), providing predictable capacitance for circuit design.
- High Voltage Rating — Rated at 100 V to support higher-voltage circuits within the specified operating range.
- Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 3 µA, reflecting the UKL series’ low leakage design for preserved DC bias and stable performance.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 110 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 220 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling across frequency ranges.
- Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C and operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for reliable performance under elevated ambient conditions.
- Package and Mounting — Radial lead, polarized can package (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant per product data.
Typical Applications
- Audio equipment — Low leakage (3 µA) and the 100 V rating make this capacitor suitable for audio circuits where DC bias stability and reliable filtering are important.
- Through-hole power filtering — Radial-lead can and defined ripple current specs support use in power supply smoothing and decoupling in compact through-hole boards.
- Signal and bias stabilization — The combination of low leakage and ±10% tolerance helps maintain DC bias and predictable performance in signal-path circuits.
Unique Advantages
- Low leakage for stable biasing: The specified 3 µA leakage current supports circuits that require preserved DC bias and low idle current drift.
- Wide voltage margin: 100 V rating allows use in higher-voltage sections of audio and electronic equipment without increasing capacitance size.
- Frequency-aware ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (110 mA / 220 mA) give engineers clear limits for both low- and high-frequency ripple management.
- Compact through-hole form factor: φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts while retaining robust radial-lead mounting.
- Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: Specified 2000 hours at 85°C delivers quantifiable life expectations for thermal stress scenarios.
- RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for use in regulated assemblies.
