UPJ0J151MED

The UPJ0J151MED is a miniature, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series, supplied in a radial-lead can (φ6.3 × 11 mm). It delivers 150 µF at 6.3 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% and is offered in bulk/bag packaging.

Designed as a low-impedance, general-purpose part ideally suited for switching power supplies and other power-filtering roles, the UPJ0J151MED is specified for operation from −55°C to 105°C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 150 µF nominal with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V DC rating appropriate for low-voltage power rails and decoupling applications.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ (DF) = 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing predictable dissipation for power designs.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 83.7 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 155 mA at 200 kHz for dynamic power applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 28.35 µA (per product data), suitable for many general-purpose circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — Can dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB designs.
• Polarized Construction & RoHS — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design; RoHS compliant.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Suited for smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage switching regulators, matching the UPJ series’ low-impedance intent.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Use in a wide range of general-purpose circuits that require compact, polarized energy-storage and filtering components.
• Compact Through-Hole Modules — Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can with radial leads for space-constrained through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance series design: The UPJ family is engineered for low impedance to support dynamic power demands typical in switching supplies.
• Measured performance data: Specified tanδ, leakage current, and ripple current values allow predictable thermal and electrical design margins.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for operation up to 105°C with a specified 2000-hour life at that temperature for sustained high-temperature reliability.
• Small footprint, through-hole mounting: φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable compact board layouts while retaining the benefits of radial-lead assembly.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
