UPJ0J152MPD

The UPJ0J152MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor rated 1.5 mF (1500 µF) at 6.3 V and optimized for low impedance in power supply applications.

Designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose low-voltage filtering, the UPJ0J152MPD combines high ripple-handling capability with a long endurance specification to support sustained operation in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage in low-voltage circuits.
• Low Impedance Construction: UPJ series design delivers low impedance characteristics suitable for switching power supplies and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated low-frequency ripple current 981 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.09 A at 200 kHz for effective smoothing under AC ripple stress.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ): tanδ = 0.22 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 6.3 V), providing a quantified measure of ESR-related losses for system-level thermal and efficiency planning.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 283.5 µA for stable standby characteristics in DC circuits.
• High Endurance: Qualified for 5000 hours at 105°C (for applicable case sizes), supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Form Factor: Compact radial can, size φ10×25 mm (diameter × length) with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packaging options for through-hole assembly and easy handling.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Input/output smoothing and low-impedance filtering where high ripple currents and fast recovery are required.
• General-Purpose DC Power Filtering — Bulk and decoupling capacitance for low-voltage rails in electronic modules and assemblies.
• Power Management Modules — Energy storage and ripple suppression in compact, through-hole power designs operating up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Low-Impedance Performance: Series-optimized construction reduces impedance for improved ripple handling and voltage stability in switching applications.
• High Ripple Capability: Dual-spec ripple ratings (981 mA at 120 Hz and 1.09 A at 200 kHz) allow designers to specify the capacitor by both low- and high-frequency stress conditions.
• Long Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C (where applicable) supports reliable operation in thermally demanding installations.
• Compact, Through-Hole Form Factor: φ10×25 mm radial can and 5 mm lead spacing provide a small board footprint with robust mechanical leads for through-hole assembly.
• Measurable Loss Characteristics: Specified tanδ at standard test conditions helps predict dissipation and thermal behavior in system-level power designs.
• RoHS Compliant Packaging Options: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit assembly and inventory workflows while meeting environmental directives.
