UPS1C152MHD

The UPS1C152MHD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPS series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 1500 µF and 16 V, designed for compact power filtering and decoupling in electronic power systems.

Designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power applications, the UPS1C152MHD combines high ripple-current capability, low impedance, and extended high-temperature endurance to support reliable operation in compact designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and filtering.
• Low Impedance: Maximum impedance of 75 mΩ (20°C / 100 kHz) to help minimize voltage ripple and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple currents of 1.087 A at 120 Hz and 1.25 A at 10 kHz support high-frequency switching environments.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Life/endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C under rated ripple and DC bias conditions for elevated-temperature reliability.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C for use across demanding thermal environments.
• Tangent of Loss Angle (tan δ): Specified tan δ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC loss behavior.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Size φ12.5 × 20 mm (lead spacing 5 mm) in a radial can with bulk or bag packing options (no terminal forming).
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in product data.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk and smoothing capacitor for output filtering and ripple attenuation in switching regulators.
• DC–DC Converters: Energy storage and decoupling for dense converter designs requiring high ripple-current handling.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Filtering and transient suppression in embedded and consumer electronics where compact high-capacitance solutions are needed.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Supports both low-frequency (1.087 A at 120 Hz) and high-frequency (1.25 A at 10 kHz) ripple currents to suit switching environments.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Low impedance for improved performance: 75 mΩ impedance reduces ripple voltage and helps maintain regulator stability under load transients.
• Compact radial-can footprint: φ12.5 × 20 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing enables high-density PCB layouts while delivering 1500 µF capacitance.
• Manufactured by Nichicon: Part of the UPS series with mass-production availability for consistent supply and program-level planning.
• RoHS compliant packaging options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match assembly and handling preferences.
