The ULV2E150MNL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s ULV series, configured for surface‑mount assembly. It delivers a 15 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with a polarized design optimized for compact, high‑voltage board-level use.

Designed for long life and automotive environments, this part offers a 10,000‑hour rated life at +105°C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance. Its SMD chip can be placed by automatic mounting machines using carrier tape, enabling efficient automated production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable high‑voltage performance.
• Long Life Endurance — Rated for 10,000 hours at +105°C, providing sustained capacitance and leakage characteristics after extended high‑temperature operation.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Series qualification for automotive reliability; suitable for designs requiring AEC‑Q200 rated components.
• Surface‑Mount Chip Package — Chip type, radial can SMD package sized approximately 1 × 1 cm with a recommended land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm; compatible with automatic placement using carrier tape.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified to operate from −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple handling of 50 mA at 120 Hz and 80 mA at 10 kHz to address frequency‑dependent ripple requirements.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — For board‑level use in automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and long life at elevated temperature are required.
• High‑Voltage SMD Assemblies — Useful in compact, high‑voltage circuit boards that require a 250 V rated surface‑mount capacitor.
• Harsh‑Environment Electronics — Suited to applications that demand operation across −40°C to +105°C and extended high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 10,000 hours at +105°C ensures long operational life under sustained thermal stress.
• Automated assembly ready: Chip‑type SMD form factor and carrier‑tape compatibility simplify placement and throughput on automated lines.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides a verified reliability baseline for automotive system integration.
• Compact high‑voltage solution: 15 µF at 250 V in a ~1 × 1 cm package conserves board area while delivering high voltage capability.
• Frequency‑aware ripple performance: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enables designers to match capacitor selection to expected operating frequencies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic assemblies.
