UPS1A151MED

The UPS1A151MED is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power applications. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-style capacitor that delivers 150 µF at 10 V in a compact footprint.

Engineered for demanding operating conditions, the device supports a wide temperature range from −55 °C to +105 °C and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for compact designs that require reliable ripple handling and thermal tolerance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF capacitance rated at 10 V to support decoupling and bulk energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance Design — Marketed as a low-impedance type for switching power supplies; rated ripple currents of 125 mA at 120 Hz and 250 mA at 10 kHz demonstrate suitability for ripple handling.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C, enabling use across a broad set of thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm and 2.5 mm lead spacing for compact through-hole mounting.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for DC power filtering and smoothing applications.
• Tolerance & Reliability — ±20% capacitance tolerance and a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C for predictable end-of-life planning.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and ripple suppression in DC-DC converters and switch-mode power supply outputs.
• Power Rail Decoupling — Local energy storage and transient suppression on low-voltage power rails.
• Compact Through-Hole Designs — Use in space-constrained boards that require a radial-lead electrolytic with a small can footprint.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — General-purpose smoothing and filtering in consumer and industrial electronic equipment where polarized capacitors are appropriate.

Unique Advantages

• Space-Saving Footprint: Small case dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing minimize board area for through-hole applications.
• Designed for Switching Environments: Low-impedance characterization and measurable ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support performance in switching power stages.
• Wide Thermal Range: −55 °C to +105 °C operating range allows deployment across varied thermal conditions without derating the basic electrical function.
• Predictable Lifetime: Specified 2000 hours at 105 °C enables designers to plan reliability and maintenance intervals for high-temperature applications.
• Easy Through-Hole Assembly: Radial lead construction and standard can package simplify placement and soldering for manual or wave-solder processes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electronic products.
