UPM1C152MHD6

The UPM1C152MHD6 is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series designed for high reliability and low impedance in compact power designs. It delivers 1500 µF at a 16 V rating with a polarized radial can package optimized for space‑constrained assemblies.

Engineered for environments requiring sustained performance, the part offers high ripple handling and extended endurance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable where long life and stable smoothing/decoupling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of -20% to 20%.
• Low Impedance & Loss — Impedance of 41 mΩ and tanδ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to support efficient energy transfer and low dissipation.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 1.26 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.4 A (200 kHz) to handle power supply ripple and transient currents.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 720 µA.
• Extended Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting long term operation at elevated temperature.
• Temperature Range — Operating range from -55°C to +105°C for wide environmental tolerance.
• Automotive Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualified, addressing designs requiring automotive‑grade reliability.
• Compact Radial Package — Can size φ18 × 15L (18 mm diameter × 15 mm length), radial lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm) and polarized mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS‑compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing. Product status: Mass Production.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on 16 V rails where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• DC‑DC converter output filters — Use for output smoothing and transient support thanks to high ripple current ratings and low impedance.
• Embedded and industrial power modules — Compact radial footprint and extended 5000‑hour life at 105°C suit space‑limited, high‑reliability power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 1.26 A (120 Hz) and 1.4 A (200 kHz) ripple ratings enable robust filtering under continuous and high‑frequency load conditions.
• Durable at elevated temperature: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term performance in hot operating environments.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ18 × 15L radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing fits tight through‑hole layouts while remaining easy to handle in production.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports designs requiring automotive reliability standards.
• Low impedance and controlled dissipation: 41 mΩ impedance and tanδ 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) reduce voltage ripple and power loss in power rail applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction for regulatory alignment in commercial and automotive programs.
