UPM1E152MHD

The UPM1E152MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, configured as a radial-lead, can-type component. It delivers 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rating with a compact φ12.5 × 30.5 mm package and 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding power applications, the part combines high ripple handling, a low impedance specification, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and AEC-Q200 qualification to support reliable operation across industrial and automotive-oriented designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 29 mΩ supports low-loss filtering and stable behavior under ripple currents.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.602 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.78 A (200 kHz) for robust AC performance.
• Dissipation Factor — tanδ of 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating predictable loss characteristics for power-design calculations.
• Extended Endurance — 5000 hours rated life at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −55°C to +105°C operating range for a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead mounting with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a Φ12.5 mm can (L: 30.5 mm) for through-hole assemblies.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction and AEC-Q200 qualification noted in the product data.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Bulk & Smoothing — Provides bulk capacitance and low impedance filtering for linear and switching power supplies, improving output stability under load transients.
• DC–DC Converters — Suited for input/output filtering in converters where high ripple currents and compact size are required.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance make this capacitor appropriate for automotive electronic modules requiring reliable capacitance at elevated temperatures.
• Backup Hold-up & Energy Storage — High capacitance and rated ripple capability support short-term energy hold-up and smoothing in control and auxiliary circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 1500 µF in a φ12.5 × 30.5 mm package reduces board area while delivering significant bulk energy storage.
• Low-Impedance Performance — 29 mΩ impedance helps minimize voltage ripple and power loss in high-current environments.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Handling — Specified ripple ratings at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable designers to evaluate performance across low- and high-frequency content.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C supports long-term reliability in heated enclosures and harsh operating conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 designation in the product data addresses demanding qualification expectations for applications exposed to automotive-level stresses.
• Procurement and Assembly Flexibility — Bulk and bag packaging options accommodate both high-volume manufacturing and smaller assembly runs.
