Overview of UPM1K150MED – 80 V, 150 µF Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPM1K150MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for applications requiring a compact, polarized energy-storage device with robust temperature performance. It features a low-impedance construction and is supplied in a radial can package suited for through-hole mounting.
Targeted for demanding electronics, the UPM1K150MED offers an 80 V rated voltage, a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive use, delivering reliable performance where long-term stability and low leakage are required.
Key Features
- Rated Voltage: 80 V — supports higher-voltage rails and power stages common in automotive and industrial electronics.
- Capacitance and Tolerance: 150 µF with ±20% tolerance — provides bulk energy storage and decoupling for power-supply stability.
- Low Loss / Dissipation Factor: tanδ = 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) — suitable for applications where low dielectric losses are important.
- Ripple Current Capability: 26 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 52 mA at 1 kHz (high frequency) — enables handling of both mains-frequency and higher-frequency ripple currents.
- Low Leakage Current: 36 µA — minimizes standby drain and improves reliability in low-current circuits.
- Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C — validated life rating for high-temperature environments.
- Mechanical Package: Radial lead can, size φ6.3 × 11 mm L with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) — compact form factor for tight PCB layouts.
- Compliance: RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 rated — suitable for regulated production and automotive qualification requirements.
- Packaging Options: Bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing — flexible supply formats for assembly and prototyping workflows.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Power Electronics: Smoothing and bulk energy storage on 12 V/48 V power rails and control modules where 80 V rating provides margin for transient conditions.
- Control Modules and ECUs: Local decoupling and ripple suppression for control electronics operating across −55°C to +105°C temperature ranges.
- Power Supply Filtering: Bulk filtering and hold-up in DC–DC converters and onboard power supplies that require low leakage and stable capacitance over temperature.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 80 V rating allows use on higher-voltage rails and provides headroom for transient events.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports deployment in automotive systems requiring component-level qualification.
- Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C range enables use in harsh thermal environments without compromising performance.
- Compact radial can: φ6.3 × 11 mm package with tight lead spacing enables dense PCB placement and through-hole mounting convenience.
- Measured low leakage and controlled losses: 36 µA leakage and tanδ = 0.08 at 20°C/120 Hz help maintain system efficiency and reduce unintended discharge.
- Flexible packing: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit production and prototyping needs.
