UPJ1C152MHD

The UPJ1C152MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can, designed for general-purpose power applications and particularly suited to switching power supplies.

Engineered for low impedance and sustained operation, this polarized capacitor provides measurable ripple handling and long-term endurance across a wide temperature range for reliable power filtering and smoothing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF (1.5 mF) rated at 16 V with a tolerance of ±20%.
• Low impedance performance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz and 16 V, supporting efficient energy transfer in power circuits.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.341 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.49 A at 200 kHz, enabling robust handling of switching currents.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 720 µA, facilitating predictable standby and long-term behavior after voltage application.
• Endurance and temperature range — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and operational from −55°C to +105°C to support sustained high-temperature loading.
• Radial lead package — φ12.5 × 25 mm aluminum can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Polarized, general-purpose use — Designed for standard polarized capacitor applications in power rails and supply filtering.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as specified for the UPJ series.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Low impedance and specified ripple ratings make it suitable for smoothing and bulk decoupling in switching regulators and converters.
• Power rail filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple attenuation for regulated power rails in general-purpose electronic equipment.
• Decoupling and smoothing — Used where polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors are required to stabilize voltage and absorb transient loads.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance design: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 at standard measurement conditions supports efficient AC performance in power circuits.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.341 A (120 Hz) and 1.49 A (200 kHz) help manage both low- and high-frequency switching stress.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C provides verified life performance for sustained high-temperature operation.
• Compact radial form factor: φ12.5 × 25 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing simplify integration into through-hole PCBs where board space is limited.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (720 µA) supports reliable system-level power budgeting and standby behavior.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS directives as called out for the UPJ series.
