UPH2G151MHD

The UPH2G151MHD is a high-voltage, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPH series. It is a polarized, radial-lead component specified at 150 µF and 400 V, designed for general-purpose high-voltage circuits and ballast applications.

Its combination of a compact φ16 × 40 mm can, robust temperature rating and extended load life makes it suitable where high ripple tolerance and long endurance are required in a radial lead capacitor format.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage, providing high-voltage energy storage in a compact radial package.
• Capacitance Tolerance — Specified tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable behavior in design calculations.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 920 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.38 A at 10 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple conditions.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current listed at 2500 µA for stable electrical performance.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for elevated-temperature reliability.
• Form Factor and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with a φ16 × 40 mm case, 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Compliance and Manufacturing — RoHS-compliant and listed as mass production status within the Nichicon UPH series.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Applications — Designed specifically to meet the needs of ballast circuits where high-voltage, compact capacitors with reliable ripple handling are required.
• General-Purpose High-Voltage Power Circuits — Use for filtering, smoothing and energy storage in 400 V class polarized circuits.
• Power Supply Filtering — Suitable for bulk decoupling and ripple suppression in high-voltage power supplies that require a radial-lead electrolytic solution.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 400 V rating enables use in high-voltage sections of power systems without additional series components.
• Compact Miniature Size: φ16 × 40 mm case provides a small footprint for space-constrained through-hole designs.
• High Ripple Tolerance: Specified ripple currents of 920 mA (120 Hz) and 1.38 A (10 kHz) support robust AC ripple handling for longer service life under load.
• Extended Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C offers predictable long-term performance in higher-temperature environments.
• Clear Electrical Specifications: Defined tan δ (0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz) and leakage current (2500 µA) allow accurate thermal and reliability calculations.
• Manufactured by Nichicon: Part of the UPH series and available in mass production, simplifying procurement and design continuity.
