UPT2E151MHD

The UPT2E151MHD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package designed for general-purpose power applications. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating with polarized radial leads and is optimized where compact size, high ripple handling and long operational life are required.

Key value propositions include elevated ripple-current capability for demanding AC/DC and ballast applications, a broad operating temperature range from −40°C to 105°C, and a verified 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C under rated conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 250 V, with tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable decoupling and energy storage.
• High Ripple Current — Designed for high ripple environments with specified ripple current of 620 mA at 120 Hz and 992 mA at 10 kHz, enabling robust performance under AC-biased or high-frequency conditions.
• Long Life & Endurance — Rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C when subjected to D.C. bias plus rated ripple current, supporting extended service in elevated-temperature applications.
• Temperature Range — Wide operating range from −40°C to +105°C to cover a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing; compact footprint with dimensions L: 3.05 cm × D: 1.6 cm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Polarized Design — Polarized electrolytic construction suitable for DC bias circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant, meeting contemporary environmental requirements for lead-free materials.

Typical Applications

• Ballast and lighting drivers — Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current capability and long life are needed.
• Power supply filtering — Acts as a compact smoothing and decoupling capacitor in general-purpose DC power circuits.
• Industrial electronics — Useful in equipment requiring durable, high-ripple capacitors with extended high-temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Compact footprint: Miniature radial-can package (L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm) helps reduce PCB area while maintaining capacitance and voltage rating.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000-hour rating at 105°C gives designers predictable long-term performance under elevated thermal stress.
• Wide operating range: −40°C to +105°C supports deployment across a variety of ambient conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental requirements for lead-free assemblies.
