UPA0J152MPD6

The UPA0J152MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series, designed for miniature, low-impedance power filtering. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating and is optimized for applications that require compact size, high ripple-handling and extended endurance at elevated temperatures.

Typical use cases include switching power supplies and general-purpose power-rail smoothing where small footprint, measurable low impedance and reliable long-term operation up to 105°C are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1500 µF (1.5 mF) rated at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling on low-voltage rails.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 98 mΩ supports efficient ripple reduction and stable voltage filtering in compact designs.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 1.054 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.24 A (10 kHz) to handle switching and rectifier ripple currents.
• Temperature & Endurance: Rated operating range −55°C to 105°C with endurance specified to 4000 hours at 105°C for sustained high-temperature operation.
• Form Factor: Radial lead, can-style package with case dimensions φ10 × 16 mm and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole mounting and prototyping.
• Electrical Losses & Leakage: Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.22 (120 Hz, 20°C) and a measured leakage current of 283.5 µA.
• Polarized, General-Purpose: Polarized electrolytic capacitor intended for general-purpose power-filtering applications.
• RoHS Compliant & Packaging: RoHS-compliant material declaration with bulk or bag packing options.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk and output filtering where compact size and high ripple current capability reduce voltage ripple on converter rails.
• DC‑DC Converters: Input/output decoupling for low-voltage converters requiring low impedance and sustained ripple handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Industrial Power Modules: Power-rail smoothing in compact control modules that operate across −55°C to 105°C and demand long endurance.
• Consumer Electronics Power Filtering: Local energy storage and transient absorption on small PCBs where radial through-hole mounting is preferred.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling in a miniature footprint: 1.054 A at 120 Hz and 1.24 A at 10 kHz combined with a φ10 × 16 mm case enables robust filtering in space-constrained designs.
• Low impedance for improved voltage stability: 98 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage droop and improves transient response on power rails.
• Extended high-temperature endurance: 4000 hours at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Design-friendly radial format: 5 mm lead spacing and standard can package simplify through-hole assembly and prototyping workflows.
• Clear electrical parameters for engineering selection: Specified tan δ, leakage current, tolerance (±20%), and polarization make performance predictable in design validation.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant materials for regulatory-aligned product builds.
