UPJ2A151MHD6

The UPJ2A151MHD6 from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPJ series designed for low-impedance, high-reliability DC applications. This polarized, radial-can component delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating and is targeted at power conversion and general-purpose electronic designs.

Engineered for continuous operation up to +105°C with a 5000-hour endurance rating, the UPJ2A151MHD6 is suitable for switching power supplies and other circuits requiring stable capacitance, controlled dissipation factor, and defined ripple handling across low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Dissipation Factor — tan δ = 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz and 100 V for reduced losses in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 342.9 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 635 mA (200 kHz) to support switching and regulated power rails.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 450 µA (consistent with the datasheet limit 0.03 CV), providing predictable standby behavior after voltage application.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 5,000 hours at +105°C, supporting long-term reliability in thermally demanding environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (can) package, diameter φ18 × length 15 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk/bag packing for through-hole PCB assembly.
• Wide Operating Range — Operational temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for use across varied environmental conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output decoupling where low impedance and defined ripple handling improve regulator stability and efficiency.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in motor drives, controllers, and DC/DC converters operating in elevated temperatures.
• General Purpose Electronics — Decoupling, smoothing, and energy buffering in consumer and professional equipment with through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Predictable Loss Characteristics: A measured tan δ of 0.08 at 120 Hz and 100 V gives designers a clear, low-loss dissipation baseline for filter and decoupling designs.
• Defined Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow selection for switching and high-frequency regulator applications without guesswork.
• Long High-Temperature Life: 5,000 hours at +105°C provides longevity for sustained high-temperature operation and reduces maintenance or replacement frequency.
• Consistent Leakage Specification: Leakage current defined at 450 µA (0.03 CV) ensures predictable behavior in bias and standby conditions.
• Through-Hole Durability: Radial lead can with standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies PCB layout and mechanical retention for through-hole assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in products requiring restricted substances conformity.
