UPS1E152MHD

The UPS1E152MHD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose power applications. It is a radial-lead, can-style capacitor offering compact dimensions and a wide operating temperature range for reliable performance in space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.5 mF capacitance rated at 25 V for bulk energy storage and filtering in low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 38 mΩ, enabling effective ripple suppression and low-loss filtering.
• High Ripple Capability: Rated ripple current of 1.653 A at 120 Hz and 1.9 A at 10 kHz to support switching supply ripple currents.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operating temperature from −55 °C to 105 °C for use across a broad range of environments.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Lifetime specified as 3000 hours at 105 °C, providing predictable long-term behaviour under elevated temperature stress.
• Compact Radial Package: Radial lead, can package with lead spacing of 7.5 mm and overall size L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm for tight board layouts.
• Tolerance & Polarity: Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20% and polarized construction for conventional electrolytic usage.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk smoothing and ripple filtering where low impedance and rated ripple current support converter stability and efficiency.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Decoupling and energy storage for embedded systems and power modules requiring compact electrolytic capacitors.
• Industrial Electronics: Use in industrial power circuits that demand wide temperature operation and defined high-temperature lifetime.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small can-style radial package (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm) enables placement in densely populated PCBs.
• Low-loss operation: 38 mΩ impedance supports efficient energy transfer and improved ripple attenuation.
• Robust ripple handling: Dual ripple ratings (120 Hz and 10 kHz) provide predictable performance across common power frequencies.
• Wide thermal range: −55 °C to 105 °C operation suits designs exposed to varying ambient conditions.
• Long high-temperature life: 3000-hour rating at 105 °C ensures durability in prolonged elevated-temperature environments.
• Radial-lead packaging: Through-hole mounting simplifies prototyping and offers reliable mechanical attachment for power circuits.
