UPM1H152MHD

The UPM1H152MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability in radial-lead can packaging. With a rated capacitance of 1500 µF at 50 V and a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, it addresses demanding power-decoupling and energy-storage needs in industrial and automotive electronics.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance, low impedance (26 mΩ), robust ripple-current capability, and a rated endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C—features that simplify power-supply design and improve durability under continuous load.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 50 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance & Loss — Impedance of 26 mΩ and tanδ (DF) of 0.1 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling efficient ripple handling and reduced power dissipation.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.142 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.38 A (200 kHz) for effective filtering across switching and line frequencies.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C with specified end-of-life characteristics; leakage current specified at 2250 µA, supporting long-term operation under rated conditions.
• Temperature Range — Wide operating range from -55°C to 105°C for use in thermally challenging environments.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial-lead can package, size φ16 × 40 mm (L: 4.0 cm × D: 1.6 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated production and automotive-grade qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for use in automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and a 105°C endurance rating help meet vehicle-level reliability requirements.
• Power-supply filtering — Low impedance (26 mΩ) plus high ripple-current ratings enable effective smoothing and decoupling on DC rails in converters and regulators.
• Energy buffering — 1500 µF capacitance provides bulk energy storage for inrush suppression and transient handling in industrial control and embedded power modules.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can: 1500 µF in a φ16 × 40 mm radial can provides substantial bulk capacitance while conserving board area.
• Low-loss operation: Tanδ of 0.1 (20°C, 120 Hz) and 26 mΩ impedance reduce heating and improve efficiency in continuous-operation applications.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents up to 2.38 A at 200 kHz help maintain voltage stability across switching frequencies.
• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at 105°C supports extended operation under elevated-temperature stress.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive-quality assurance and system-level qualification processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regulated manufacturing environments.
