UPJ1A151MED

The UPJ1A151MED is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor specified at 150 µF and 10 V, designed for general-purpose use and is noted in the series for low impedance characteristics suited to switching power supply applications.

This part offers compact dimensions (φ6.3 × 11 mm), a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to +105°C), and measurable ripple and leakage performance appropriate for power filtering and decoupling roles. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF rated capacitance at 10 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low-loss performance: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.19 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for power applications.
• Ripple current handling: 99.9 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 185 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency) to support ripple filtering in switching supplies.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 45 µA for low standby leakage in DC circuits.
• High reliability thermal range: Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact radial package: Radial lead can-sized at φ6.3 × 11 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies: Low-impedance behavior and specified high-frequency ripple handling make it suitable for output filtering and decoupling in switching regulators.
• General-purpose power filtering: 150 µF at 10 V provides bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in a variety of electronic circuits.
• Compact electronic modules: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and radial lead form factor fit tight layouts requiring through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy density: 150 µF in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can delivers substantial capacitance where board area is limited.
• Designed for power electronics: Measured ripple current specs at both low and high frequencies support filtering duties across switching and higher-frequency domains.
• Wide temperature tolerance: Rated from −55°C to +105°C with a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C for stable performance in demanding thermal environments.
• Predictable electrical loss: Specified tanδ at 120 Hz gives designers a clear metric for dissipation and stability in AC-biased circuits.
• Through-hole robustness: Radial lead package with defined lead spacing simplifies placement and mechanical retention in through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status provides conformity to common environmental requirements.
