UPJ1K150MED

The UPJ1K150MED is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series, engineered for low-impedance performance in power applications. This radial-lead, polarized capacitor delivers 150 µF at 80 V in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering, the part offers a specified operating range of −55 °C to +105 °C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105 °C. Note: this part is designated End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 80 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing on DC rails.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.08 at the rated voltage, supporting efficient energy handling in switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Tested leakage current of 360 µA, enabling predictable standby and bias characteristics.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Ripple current ratings of 26 mA at 120 Hz and 52 mA at 200 kHz for AC ripple and filtering use cases.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing; packing: Bulk (no terminal forming) / Bag.
• Tolerance & Polarity — Capacitance tolerance ±20%; polarized device for correct DC orientation.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance UPJ series characteristics and 80 V rating suit smoothing and decoupling in switching regulators.
• Power Rail Smoothing — 150 µF capacitance supports bulk filtering on intermediate DC rails and power distribution networks.
• Industrial Power Modules — Compact radial can and extended temperature range allow use in general-purpose industrial power assemblies.
• DC–DC Converter Output Stages — Ripple current capability and low tan δ help control output ripple and thermal rise in converter designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy density — 150 µF in a φ6.3 × 11 mm radial can minimizes board area for through-hole designs.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Specified tan δ and leakage current provide measurable loss and standby characteristics for design verification.
• Wide operating temperature — −55 °C to +105 °C rating supports a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Designed for switching environments — UPJ series emphasis on low impedance makes this part suitable for switching power supply smoothing and decoupling.
• RoHS compliant — Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assemblies.
• Through-hole readiness — Radial lead format and standard 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement and hand or wave-solder assembly workflows.
