ULD2C150MPD

The ULD2C150MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 15 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V. It is part of Nichicon’s ULD series of miniature, long-life electrolytic capacitors and is designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling.

With a long-life endurance specification of 15,000 hours at 105°C, a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, and defined ripple-current performance at both low and high frequencies, this capacitor is well suited for higher-voltage power-supply applications where reliable, compact energy storage is required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 15 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 160 V, suitable for mid-to-high-voltage filtering and decoupling.
• Long-Life Endurance — Rated life of 15,000 hours at 105°C under specified conditions, providing extended service life in thermally demanding applications.
• Ripple Handling & Loss — Low-frequency ripple current of 92 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 174.8 mA (100 kHz); tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 196 µA, measured per the product’s test conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with radial leads, lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), and package options including bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for regulatory conformity in applicable regions.

Typical Applications

• LED lighting power supplies — Suited for energy storage and smoothing in LED driver circuits where long life at elevated temperature is required.
• Switch-mode power supplies and DC–DC converters — Used for input/output filtering and decoupling at up to 160 V rating, leveraging defined ripple-current capabilities.
• Industrial control electronics — Compact radial can and long endurance make this capacitor suitable for control modules operating across -40°C to 105°C.
• General-purpose electronic equipment — Applicable where reliable mid-voltage bulk capacitance and extended lifetime are needed for smoothing and energy buffering.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature life — 15,000-hour endurance at 105°C reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in thermally stressed designs.
• Voltage headroom for mid/high-voltage designs — 160 V rating supports applications requiring higher DC bus voltages without upsizing the component footprint.
• Defined ripple performance across frequencies — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 100 kHz help designers size capacitors for both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact footprint — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides bulk capacitance in a small radial package for space-constrained PCBs.
• RoHS compliance — Meets environmental regulations for applications requiring restricted substances conformity.
• Flexible packaging — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory handling preferences.

Why Choose ULD2C150MPD?

ULD2C150MPD combines a mid-voltage 160 V rating with 15 µF capacitance in a compact radial can that is engineered for long-term operation at elevated temperatures (15,000 hours at 105°C). Its specified ripple-current ratings and controlled loss characteristics (tanδ = 0.24 at 20°C, 120 Hz) let designers balance performance and reliability for power-supply and filtering functions.

This part is a practical choice for engineers specifying capacitors for LED driver power supplies, switch-mode power stages, and general-purpose electronics where compact size, predictable ripple behavior, and long life are required. RoHS compliance and standard packaging options further simplify integration into production workflows.
