UPM2A150MED

The UPM2A150MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, engineered for low impedance and reliable performance in demanding environments. It delivers a 15 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for applications that require wide operating range and stable ripple handling, this capacitor combines a -55°C to +105°C temperature window, AEC-Q200 qualification, and low loss characteristics to support robust power-filtering and energy-storage roles.

Key Features

• Low Impedance, High Reliability  UPM-series design emphasis on low impedance supports stable filtering and decoupling in power circuits.
• Electrical Ratings  15 µF nominal capacitance at 100 V with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for through-hole applications.
• Loss and Leakage  Low dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.08 and leakage current of 45 µA help minimize power loss and standby current.
• Ripple Current Capability  Rated ripple handling of 45 mA at 120 Hz and 90 mA at 200 kHz for both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Temperature and Lifetime  Operating range from -55°C to +105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package and Mounting  Compact radial can: φ6.3 × 15 mm, radial lead mounting, 2.5 mm lead spacing—suitable for space-conscious through-hole assemblies.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified  Meets AEC-Q200 qualification for designs requiring automotive-grade component-level reliability.
• RoHS Compliant  Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics  AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55°C to +105°C operating range make the UPM2A150MED suitable for power smoothing and decoupling in vehicle electronic modules.
• Power Supply Filtering  100 V rating, 15 µF capacitance and low impedance characteristics support ripple suppression and energy buffering on higher-voltage rails.
• Compact Through-Hole Assemblies  The φ6.3 × 15 mm radial-can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing fits constrained PCB layouts where stable bulk capacitance is required.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides a component-level reliability baseline for automotive and other high-reliability designs.
• High-Voltage Capability: 100 V rating enables use on higher-voltage rails without series stacking or special derating.
• Wide Temperature Range: -55°C to +105°C support across challenging thermal environments.
• Low Loss and Low Leakage: tan δ = 0.08 and 45 µA leakage reduce power dissipation and quiescent current impact.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Performance: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz accommodate a range of power-conversion topologies.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ6.3 × 15 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify layout for through-hole assemblies that need reliable bulk capacitance.

Why Choose UPM2A150MED?

The UPM2A150MED combines Nichicon's UPM-series low-impedance design with a compact radial-can package and automotive-grade qualification. Its 100 V rating, controlled loss (tan δ = 0.08), and defined ripple performance make it well suited for engineers specifying stable bulk capacitance and filtering in constrained, high-voltage or temperature-challenged designs.

Ideal for applications demanding predictable electrical behavior and component-level reliability, the UPM2A150MED offers a clear specification set—15 µF, ±20% tolerance, -55°C to +105°C range, 2000 hours at 105°C life—that aids design validation and lifecycle planning.
