UPJ1E152MHD

The UPJ1E152MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series. It is a radial-lead, low-impedance device engineered for general-purpose power applications and is particularly suited for use in switching power supplies.

Key value propositions include robust endurance at elevated temperature (5,000 hours at 105°C for the applicable case sizes), strong ripple-current handling at both low and high frequencies, and a compact radial-can package with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,500 µF nominal capacitance rated at 25 V with tolerance ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 25 V, reflecting the UPJ series’ low-impedance design for power applications.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.602 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.78 A (200 kHz), supporting bulk filtering and decoupling in power rails.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1,125 µA after the standard initial condition measurement.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 5,000 hours of load life at 105°C (per UPJ series endurance specification for applicable case sizes).
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Compact Radial Can Package — Size: φ12.5 × 30.5 mm; dimension listing: L: 3.05 cm × D: 1.25 cm; radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm).
• RoHS Compliant & Production Status — RoHS-compliant material set and listed as mass production.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance design and high ripple-current capability make this capacitor suitable for bulk filtering and smoothing in switch-mode power supplies.
• Power Rail Filtering — 1,500 µF capacitance and 25 V rating support decoupling and energy storage on low-voltage power rails.
• Industrial and General-Purpose Electronics — Extended operating temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and 5,000-hour endurance at 105°C address reliability needs in general-purpose and industrial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5,000-hour rated life at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term designs.
• Measured Low Loss: tanδ of 0.14 (20°C, 120 Hz, 25 V) supports lower impedance and improved performance in AC ripple environments.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable use across transformer-rectified and high-frequency switching domains.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ12.5 × 30.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole assembly while conserving PCB area.
• Regulated Specification Set: Clear, verifiable specs (capacitance, tolerance, leakage, tanδ, ripple current, temperature range) make design validation and BOM selection straightforward.
• RoHS Compliance: Materials and manufacturing conform to RoHS requirements for regulatory conformity.
