UPA1C152MPD

The UPA1C152MPD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPA series designed for high‑reliability power applications. It delivers 1,500 µF at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 25 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for switching power supplies and general‑purpose power filtering, this part combines low impedance, high ripple‑current capability and a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C) for demanding electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,500 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and filtering on low‑voltage rails.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 66 mΩ contributes to reduced voltage ripple and improved transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple‑Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.428 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.68 A (10 kHz) to handle switching and high‑frequency load conditions.
• Reliability and Endurance — 4,000 hours rated life at 105 °C (endurance test condition for φ10 case size) and a specified leakage current of 720 µA.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing predictable dissipation behavior for design calculations.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 25 mm can, radial lead mounting, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), bulk or bag packing; ideal where board space is constrained.
• Wide Temperature Range and Compliance — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C and is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where high ripple current and low impedance are required for stable regulation.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and energy storage on low‑voltage DC rails in electronic equipment.
• High‑Frequency Power Modules — Suitable for modules and converters that require reliable high‑frequency ripple handling up to 10 kHz.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — Compact power‑stage filtering in space‑constrained assemblies operating across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high‑capacity package: 1,500 µF in a φ10 × 25 mm can reduces board area compared with larger cans while maintaining significant capacitance.
• Measured low impedance (66 mΩ): Enables lower ripple voltage and improved transient performance in power designs.
• High ripple‑current ratings: 1.428 A at 120 Hz and 1.68 A at 10 kHz support both low‑ and high‑frequency switching environments.
• Designed for extended high‑temp operation: 4,000‑hour endurance at 105 °C provides predictable lifecycle performance for thermally demanding applications.
• Radial lead, standard footprint: 5 mm lead spacing and standard radial mounting simplify integration into through‑hole assemblies.
• RoHS compliant: Meets applicable directive requirements for lead‑free processes and regulatory conformance.
