UPM0J153MHD

The UPM0J153MHD is a high-capacitance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, provided in a radial-lead can package. It delivers 15,000 µF at 6.3 V with engineered low impedance and long endurance for demanding environments.

Designed for automotive applications and other systems that require robust bulk capacitance, the part combines high ripple-current capability, a wide temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C) and AEC-Q200 qualification to support reliability-focused designs.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 15,000 µF nominal capacitance for substantial bulk energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage systems.
• Low Rated Voltage: 6.3 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and DC bus applications.
• Low Impedance: Impedance of 18 mΩ, supporting effective ripple suppression and stable performance under load.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 13.48 A at 120 Hz (low-frequency) and 2.97 A at high frequency (200 kHz), enabling use where high AC stress is present.
• Long Endurance: 5,000 hours rated life at 105 °C, supporting durability in elevated-temperature operating conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range: −55 °C to 105 °C operational range for use across harsh environments.
• Electrical Characteristics: Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20%; tan δ (DF) 0.5 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current 2,835 µA.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package (φ18 × 40 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; supplied bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packed.
• Compliance & Qualification: RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive-grade applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk energy storage and smoothing for automotive control modules and DC power rails where high ripple current handling and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• Power supply filtering — Low-impedance decoupling and ripple suppression on low-voltage supplies that demand large capacitance in a through-hole radial package.
• High-stress thermal environments — Systems operating across −55 °C to 105 °C that need long capacitor life (5,000 hours at 105 °C) and reliable performance under sustained load.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial bulk capacitance: 15,000 µF provides significant energy storage in a compact radial can for smoothing and hold-up tasks.
• Engineered for high AC stress: High ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies reduce temperature rise and improve system margin under AC loading.
• Low real-world impedance: 18 mΩ impedance supports effective filtering and transient current delivery in demanding power circuits.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 5,000-hour endurance at 105 °C support deployment in automotive and other reliability-focused applications.
• Through-hole simplicity: Radial-lead can package with defined lead spacing (7.5 mm) simplifies PCB mounting and prototyping for power assemblies.
• Compliant supply options: RoHS-compliant materials and bulk or bag packing options support production workflows and regulatory needs.
