UPS1A152MPD

The UPS1A152MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPS series designed for radial-lead board-level power applications. It provides 1500 µF of capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ10 × 20 mm can.

Engineered for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering, the part delivers low impedance, robust ripple-current capability and extended endurance across a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for demanding electronic power rails.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1500 µF capacitance at 10 V with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and a specified tanδ of 0.20 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling — Rated impedance 110 mΩ and ripple current ratings of 870 mA at 120 Hz and 1.0 A at 10 kHz support effective smoothing and decoupling in switching power stages.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a specified life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can in a compact φ10 × 20 mm case; lead spacing 5 mm with 0.5 mm tolerance for straightforward through-hole placement.
• Leakage and Reliability Parameters — Specified leakage current of 450 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C) and designed as a high-reliability UPS series part for switching power supplies.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant and available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk capacitance and high ripple-current capability help stabilize outputs and reduce voltage ripple in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Compact radial-lead form factor suits board-level decoupling and energy storage for a variety of electronic equipment.
• Embedded Power Rails — Polarized, low-impedance capacitance supports local energy buffering on DC rails in embedded systems and modules.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Small Footprint: 1500 µF in a φ10 × 20 mm can delivers substantial bulk capacitance where PCB space is limited.
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for −55°C to +105°C, enabling use across harsh thermal environments within the specified limits.
• Robust Ripple Performance: 870 mA at 120 Hz and 1.0 A at 10 kHz allow effective smoothing of both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Proven Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides known life expectation for designs requiring sustained high-temperature operation.
• Low Impedance: 110 mΩ impedance improves transient response and reduces voltage drop under load.
• Production-Ready Supply: RoHS compliant and in mass production with bulk or bag packing options for volume assembly workflows.
