UPA1V152MHD

The UPA1V152MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact, high-ripple power applications. As part of the UPA series, it offers low impedance and a small case size tailored for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.

Key attributes include 1.5 mF capacitance at 35 V, a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C, and a rated endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance rated at 35 V provides bulk energy storage for power rails and decoupling in general-purpose circuits.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 36 mΩ for reduced ripple voltage and improved transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.312 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.72 A (10 kHz) to support switching and high-frequency power stages.
• Electrical Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.12 under 20°C, 120 Hz test conditions for the 35 V rating.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C, with operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C for long-term reliability.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with φ12.5 mm × 30.5 mm length, 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing.
• Polarized — Electrolytic, polarized construction for correct polarity implementation in power circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for use in lead-free applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Suitable for output smoothing and high-ripple environments, leveraging the UPA series’ design focus on switching power applications.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Used for decoupling and bulk capacitance in general electronic circuits requiring compact, high-capacitance components.
• High-Frequency Power Stages — Supports elevated ripple currents at kHz-range switching frequencies thanks to specified high-frequency ripple current performance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacity can — φ12.5 mm diameter with 1500 µF capacitance delivers substantial capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Low AC impedance — 36 mΩ impedance helps reduce ripple voltage and improves transient stability on power rails.
• Robust ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 2.312 A (120 Hz) and 2.72 A (10 kHz) enable use in both low- and high-frequency power systems.
• Long thermal life — 5000 hours endurance at 105°C supports extended operation in hot environments and power-dense assemblies.
• Wide operating range — −55°C to 105°C operating temperature range covers a broad set of industrial and electronic applications.
• Manufactured at scale — Mass-production status ensures availability for volume designs and stable supply.
