Overview of ULT2C150MNL1GS – Chip-type High-Voltage Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The ULT2C150MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-voltage, high-temperature surface-mount applications. It delivers 15 µF at a 160 V rating in a compact SMD radial can package tailored for automated assembly.
Built for demanding environments, this part targets automotive and other high-temperature electronic markets where extended endurance and reliable filtering are required. Key value comes from its elevated operating range (–40 °C to +125 °C), a 2000‑hour load life at +125 °C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance.
Key Features
- Electrical characteristics — Rated capacitance 15 µF with ±20% tolerance; polarized design suitable for DC filtering and smoothing at high voltage.
- High voltage — 160 V rated voltage for use in higher-voltage power rails and converter circuits.
- Temperature and endurance — Operating range from –40 °C to +125 °C and a specified load life of 2000 hours at +125 °C for extended performance in hot environments.
- Ripple performance — Specified ripple current of 45 mA at 120 Hz and 67.5 mA at 10 kHz to support ripple filtering across low- and high-frequency domains.
- Leakage and losses (per datasheet) — Leakage current and dissipation factor are specified in the series datasheet (e.g., leakage current formula and tan δ limits for the rated voltage), enabling predictable loss and self-discharge behavior.
- Surface-mount chip package — Radial, can-style SMD chip suitable for automatic mounting machines using carrier tape; recommended land size 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for PCB layout.
- Qualification and compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), addressing industry and environmental requirements.
- Compact footprint — Physical dimensions L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm for space-constrained designs requiring high-voltage capacitance.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Bulk and decoupling capacitor for power rails in automotive control units and modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.
- High-temperature power assemblies — Filtering and energy buffering in power converters and power management circuits that operate near +125 °C.
- Surface-mount high-voltage systems — Integration into compact SMD assemblies using automated tape-and-reel processes for high-voltage smoothing and transient suppression.
Unique Advantages
- High-temperature durability: Specified for continuous operation up to +125 °C with a 2000-hour load-life rating to support long-term stability in hot environments.
- Automated assembly ready: Chip-style SMD package and carrier-tape compatibility reduce manual handling and simplify pick-and-place line integration.
- High-voltage capability: 160 V rating provides designers with headroom for higher-voltage rail filtering in compact form factors.
- Predictable electrical behavior: Datasheet-specified leakage current formula, tan δ limits, and ripple current values allow accurate thermal and lifetime budgeting.
- Industry qualification and compliance: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated and automotive program requirements.
