UPT2G151MHD

The UPT2G151MHD is a miniature-sized, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPT series. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 400 V rated voltage, optimized for applications that require high ripple handling in a compact radial can package.

Designed for general-purpose and ballast applications, the device combines high ripple current capability with long-term endurance, making it suitable for power-electronics assemblies where space, reliability and sustained performance at elevated temperatures are important.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance rated at 400 V for high-voltage smoothing and energy storage in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz (105°C) and 1.232 A at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided for other operating frequencies.
• Long Life / Endurance — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C with D.C. bias plus rated ripple; capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current remains within initial limits after the test.
• Temperature Range — Operational from −40°C to +105°C to support a wide range of thermal environments.
• Quality Characteristics — Capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C); tan δ (max.) for 400 V is 0.15; leakage current specified by the standard formula 0.06CV + 10 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C).
• Radial Can Package — Radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing in a compact can (approx. L: 4 × D: 1.8 cm); suitable for through-hole PCB layouts.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts — Suited for ballast applications that demand high ripple endurance and sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
• General-Purpose Power Circuits — Useful in general-purpose power-electronics designs requiring a 150 µF / 400 V electrolytic capacitor in a radial package.
• Through-Hole PCB Assemblies — Radial lead format and compact can size make it appropriate for space-conscious, board-mounted power modules and assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Explicit ripple ratings (770 mA at 120 Hz, 1.232 A at 10 kHz) enable reliable operation where AC ripple is significant.
• Proven high-temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple provides a clear, verifiable life expectation for thermal stress scenarios.
• Compact radial package: Small can dimensions and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in through-hole PCB layouts without sacrificing capacitance or voltage rating.
• Clear electrical limits and diagnostics: Specified tan δ, leakage current formula and tolerance provide measurable acceptance criteria for quality control and design validation.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting regulated regional markets.
