UPS0J153MHD

The UPS0J153MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPS series designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power circuitry. It combines a miniature can-style package with low impedance and wide operating temperature capability for reliable performance in compact power assemblies.

Key attributes include a 15 mF capacitance at 6.3 V rating, low impedance, RoHS compliance, and endurance specified for elevated-temperature operation—making it suitable for designs that require stable bulk capacitance and ripple handling in a small footprint.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 15 mF capacitance rated at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power circuits.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 30 mΩ (measured conditions per product data), supporting reduced voltage ripple in switching supplies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.349 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 10 kHz, enabling reliable filtering across low to high switching frequencies.
• Temperature and Reliability — Wide operating temperature range from −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105 °C under specified conditions.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm) for through-hole assemblies.
• Polarized, Through-Hole Form — Polarized construction for conventional power supply topologies and easy PCB insertion using radial leads.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Used for bulk smoothing and output/input decoupling where low impedance and ripple handling are required.
• General-Purpose Power Circuits — Suitable for a wide range of power-electronics designs that need compact bulk capacitance in a through-hole package.
• Compact Through-Hole Assemblies — Miniature can-style radial package fits space-constrained boards while providing high capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacitance form factor: 15 mF in a miniature radial can (L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm) saves board space for dense designs.
• Low measured impedance (30 mΩ): Reduces AC voltage drop and improves filtering performance in switching converters.
• Broad ripple-frequency capability: Rated ripple currents of 2.349 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 10 kHz support both low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• Wide temperature endurance: −55 °C to +105 °C operating range and 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C provide predictable life in elevated-temperature applications.
• Through-hole reliability: Radial-lead can package simplifies mounting and replacement in standard PCB assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with modern environmental requirements.
