Overview of UPS1A153MHD – 15,000 µF 10 V Radial Lead Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPS1A153MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for power and general-purpose applications. It delivers very high capacitance (15,000 µF) at a 10 V rating while combining low impedance and robust ripple‑current capability for demanding power supply and filtering roles.
Engineered for long-term operation across a wide temperature band (−55°C to 105°C) with a 3,000 hour endurance at 105°C, this capacitor suits switching power supplies and other power-management circuits that require compact bulk energy storage and effective ripple suppression.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF (15 mF) rated at 10 V with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk storage behavior.
- Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 27 mΩ supports low-loss energy delivery and minimizes voltage drop under load.
- High Ripple‑Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.871 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 3.3 A (10 kHz) for effective filtering in switching regulators and converter outputs.
- Loss Factor (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.48 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling engineers to assess ESR‑related losses for thermal and stability calculations.
- Wide Temperature & Endurance — Operational range −55°C to 105°C with rated endurance of 3,000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
- Form Factor & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ18 × 40 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for through‑hole assembly.
- Leakage & Polarization — Polarized capacitor with specified leakage current of 4,500 µA; design accordingly in DC‑biased circuits.
- Compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Bulk energy storage and output smoothing where high capacitance and strong ripple‑current handling reduce output ripple and improve regulation.
- Power Filtering in Industrial Equipment — Local decoupling and bulk filtering in industrial power modules that operate across a wide temperature range.
- General-Purpose Power Circuits — Energy reservoir and transient suppression in DC power rails, auxiliary power modules, and other general-purpose power electronics.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance in a Miniature Can — 15,000 µF in a φ18 × 40 mm package provides substantial bulk capacitance where board area is constrained.
- Robust Ripple Handling — Measured ripple currents at both low and high frequencies help ensure stable performance in switching environments and under dynamic loads.
- Predictable Thermal & Aging Behavior — Specified endurance of 3,000 hours at 105°C and defined leakage/tan δ figures allow straightforward lifetime and thermal design margins.
- Low Impedance for Power Efficiency — 27 mΩ impedance minimizes I²R losses and supports efficient energy transfer in power stages.
- Through‑Hole Mounting Simplicity — Radial lead format and standard lead spacing simplify PCB layout and replacement/serviceability in many power designs.
- Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance aligns with modern environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.
