• Loss characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing predictable dissipation behavior in design calculations.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 1125 µA for initial electrical characterization after voltage application.
• High endurance: Rated life of 5000 hours at +105°C under load, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Form factor & mounting: Radial lead, φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) for through-hole assembly and straightforward PCB placement. Available in bulk or bag packing.
• Wide temperature range & compliance: Operating temperature −55°C to +105°C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Low-impedance UPJ series construction and rated ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for output filtering and bulk smoothing in switching regulators.
• DC–DC Converters: Compact 1500 µF capacitance at 25 V supports energy storage and transient absorption in intermediate bus and converter outputs.
• Industrial Power Electronics: High endurance (5000 hours at 105°C) and wide temperature range support sustained performance in industrial power circuits and control equipment.
• General Purpose Power Filtering: Through-hole radial lead format and proven leakage/tan δ characteristics make it suitable for general-purpose decoupling and filtering tasks in electronic assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can: 1500 µF in a φ16 × 20 mm package provides substantial bulk capacitance while minimizing board footprint for through-hole designs.
• Designed for switching supplies: UPJ series low-impedance characteristics and specified ripple currents address the needs of switching regulator output stages and bulk filtering.
• Long rated life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at +105°C under load improves design lifetime and reduces maintenance and replacement frequency in demanding environments.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tan δ (0.14 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current allow accurate thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
• Simple through-hole mounting: Radial lead format with 7.5 mm lead spacing and standard can dimensions eases assembly and mechanical retention in PCBs and brackets.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to support regulatory and end-product requirements.
