UPM1A151MED

The UPM1A151MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, offering low impedance and high reliability in a compact through-hole can. Designed for applications that require stable capacitance and defined lifetime under elevated temperatures, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Key characteristics include 150 µF capacitance at 10 V, a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, and a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm package with 2.5 mm lead spacing—making it suitable for space-conscious, reliability-focused electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated at 10 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for DC filtering and energy storage in compact circuits.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ of 0.19 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C for 10 V rating) for reduced dissipation in AC ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 99.9 mA at 120 Hz and 185 mA at 200 kHz to support smoothing and decoupling across a range of frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 45 µA, supporting low-standby and precision circuits where leakage matters.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance — Operating range −55°C to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C for this part; UPM series is described as offering extended load-life options.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can construction (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing and polarized leads for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Industry & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning with automotive-grade reliability and regulated materials requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation up to 105°C are required.
• Through-hole power assemblies — Radial lead and compact can size enable use in power supply filtering and local energy storage on through-hole PCBs.
• Temperature-challenged environments — Rated for −55°C to 105°C operation and qualified lifetime at elevated temperature for designs exposed to wide thermal ranges.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides a documented automotive-grade reliability standard for use in demanding vehicle electronics.
• Compact, space-saving form factor: φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing minimize board footprint while retaining useful capacitance.
• Broad ripple performance: Separate ratings for 120 Hz and 200 kHz ripple currents allow designers to assess performance across both low and high-frequency conditions.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to 105°C range supports deployments in harsh thermal environments.
• Low loss and low leakage: tanδ of 0.19 and 45 µA leakage current support efficient filtering with minimal standby drain.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current regulated materials requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
