UPJ1C152MHD6

The UPJ1C152MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series, offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Built for low impedance and sustained operation, this part targets switching power supplies and general-purpose electronic designs that require compact bulk capacitance and extended high-temperature endurance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V (±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss / DF — Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified at 0.16 under DF measurement conditions of 20°C, 120 Hz.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.26 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.4 A (200 kHz), suitable where higher ripple handling is required.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 720 µA after voltage application (per product specification).
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C for reliable operation under elevated temperatures.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead can package, size φ18 × 15 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm); leaded mounting for through-hole designs and straightforward PCB placement.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — UPJ1C152MHD6 is designed for use in switching power supplies where low impedance and reliable high-temperature performance are required.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general-purpose circuits that need compact, polarized bulk capacitance in a radial-lead can.
• Power Modules and Regulators — Used where sustained ripple current and stable capacitance over temperature and time are important.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance — 5000-hour rating at +105°C supports designs that operate in elevated ambient conditions and require predictable lifetime performance.
• Strong ripple-current capability — Defined ripple current specs at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable designers to assess thermal and ripple handling for different converter topologies.
• Compact radial-can footprint — φ18 × 15 mm size and standard 7.5 mm lead spacing provide a small, through-hole package for dense PCB layouts.
• Control over losses — Specified tan δ at measurement conditions helps predict ESR-related losses and thermal behavior in power applications.
• RoHS compliance and packaging flexibility — Environmental compliance and choice of bulk or bag packing simplify procurement and assembly integration.
