UPS0J151MED

The UPS0J151MED is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for compact power applications. It belongs to Nichicon's UPS series, characterized as a miniature-sized, low-impedance family suited for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.

With a 150 µF capacitance at 6.3 V, a wide operating temperature range and defined ripple and endurance ratings, this part targets compact electronic designs that require reliable bulk capacitance and predictable performance under temperature and ripple stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V, with a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low-impedance series — Part of Nichicon's UPS series, described as miniature sized and low impedance for switching power supplies.
• Dissipation factor (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.24 specified at 20°C and 120 Hz, providing a quantified measure of loss for design calculations.
• Ripple current capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 125 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 250 mA (10 kHz), allowing specification against expected AC stress in power circuits.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 28.35 µA (measured at 20°C after 1 minute), useful for bias and standby current budgets.
• Temperature & Endurance — Wide operating range from -55°C to +105°C and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact radial package — Case dimension φ6.3×11 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where miniature, low-impedance capacitance is needed to manage switching ripple.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Decoupling and smoothing in compact electronic designs requiring reliable electrolytic bulk capacitance.
• Compact Power Modules — Space-constrained modules that require radial-lead components with predictable ripple and endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: φ6.3×11 mm radial can saves PCB area while providing 150 µF of capacitance for compact designs.
• Measured ripple performance: Specified ripple current ratings at low and high frequencies (125 mA @120 Hz, 250 mA @10 kHz) help match the capacitor to expected AC loading conditions.
• Defined loss characteristics: A specified tanδ (0.24 at 20°C, 120 Hz) enables accurate loss and thermal calculations during design.
• Wide temperature and endurance rating: -55°C to +105°C operating range and 2000 hours at 105°C support designs exposed to elevated temperature environments.
• Low leakage: Leakage current of 28.35 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C) assists with low-bias and standby-current requirements.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports environmental requirements in many product platforms.
