UPA0J152MPD3

The UPA0J152MPD3 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPA series, offering 1500 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V. It combines miniature radial packaging with design characteristics optimized for low impedance and high ripple-current handling.

Engineered for general-purpose power applications—including switching power supplies—the part delivers a compact energy-storage solution with a wide operating temperature range and defined endurance for demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% at a rated voltage of 6.3 V.
• Low Impedance & Loss — Specified impedance of 70 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 6.3 V rating, supporting stable performance under AC conditions.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.2665 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.49 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling in power rails.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 4000 hours at 105°C with an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and a measured leakage current of 283.5 µA.
• Radial Can Package — φ10 × 20 mm case with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for flexible assembly and inventory management.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant material and assembly status listed as mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Use as bulk smoothing and output filtering where compact size and high ripple capability are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Effective for bulk decoupling and transient energy storage in embedded and industrial power designs.
• Decoupling for Power Rails — Stabilizes DC rails against ripple and load transients in compact PCB layouts thanks to its radial-can footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 1.2665 A (120 Hz) and 1.49 A (10 kHz) help reduce output ripple and heat buildup in power circuits.
• Compact high-capacitance footprint: 1500 µF in a φ10 × 20 mm can provides substantial energy storage while conserving board space.
• Wide temperature endurance: −55°C to +105°C operating range and 4000 hours endurance at 105°C deliver predictable long-term behavior in thermally demanding applications.
• Defined electrical behavior: 70 mΩ impedance and tanδ 0.22 (6.3 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) provide measurable loss and stability characteristics for design validation.
• Production-ready supply: Mass-production status and standard packaging options support BOM planning and volume procurement.
