UPJ0J153MHD

The UPJ0J153MHD is a high-reliability miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series, configured as a radial-lead can. It provides large capacitance (15,000 µF) at a rated voltage of 6.3 V in a compact φ18 × 40 mm package.

Designed for power-electronics use, the UPJ0J153MHD is well suited for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering where high capacitance, elevated ripple handling, and extended high-temperature life are required.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF (15 mF) nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage in a compact can.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V working voltage for low-voltage power rails and power-supply bulk smoothing.
• Low-Frequency and High-Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current of 2.394 A at 120 Hz and 2.66 A at 200 kHz to support both low- and high-frequency power conversion environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified as 0.5 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 6.3 V.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Load life of 5000 hours at +105°C for long-term stability under elevated temperatures.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified range from −55°C to +105°C for use across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Radial-Lead Mechanical Profile — φ18 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial through-hole mounting for conventional PCB assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current value of 2835 µA at standard test conditions.
• Packaging and Availability — Supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming); product status: mass production. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering to stabilize low-voltage rails in switch-mode power converters.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Energy storage and decoupling for industrial and consumer electronic power subsystems.
• Power Modules and Converters — High-capacitance storage for designs requiring sustained ripple current and thermal endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Large Capacitance in a Small Can — 15,000 µF in a φ18 × 40 mm package reduces board area compared with multiple smaller capacitors.
• Designed for Power Electronics — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz align the part to switching-regulator and converter environments.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — 5000 hours at 105°C supports longevity in thermally demanding applications.
• Through-Hole Radial Format — Radial lead spacing (7.5 mm) simplifies through-hole mounting and mechanical retention for legacy and industrial assemblies.
• Measured Loss and Leakage Data — Published tan δ and leakage current values enable predictable design margins for power and thermal budgets.
• RoHS Compliance and Production Availability — Environmentally compliant and in mass production for predictable supply.
