UPT2P151MHD

The UPT2P151MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package from Nichicon’s UPT series. It provides 150 µF at 220 V in a compact radial lead form factor designed for general-purpose power applications.

Engineered for high ripple current handling and extended elevated-temperature life, this capacitor suits designs that require compact bulk capacitance, robust ripple capability, and reliable operation up to 105°C—examples include ballast circuits and other general-purpose power circuitry.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 220 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple: 580 mA at 120 Hz and 928 mA at 10 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple stress.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Endurance specified as 5000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, with limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current defined by the datasheet.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environments.
• Radial Lead, Compact Package — Radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing in a small can (L: 4.00 cm × D: 1.25 cm) for through-hole PCB designs where board space is constrained.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Series specifications include tan δ (max. 0.12 at 220 V, measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) and leakage current defined by the datasheet formula (0.06CV + 10 μA after 2 minutes at 20°C).
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives as stated for the UPT series.

Typical Applications

• Ballast Circuits — Suited for ballast applications where high ripple current capability and compact bulk capacitance are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Used for smoothing and energy storage in general-purpose power supplies and AC/DC circuits.
• Compact Through-Hole Designs — Radial-can form factor with 5 mm lead spacing enables use in space-constrained boards that require robust, high-voltage capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact bulk capacitance at high voltage — 150 µF at 220 V in a small can (L: 4.00 cm × D: 1.25 cm) reduces board footprint for high-voltage designs.
• Validated ripple performance across frequency — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz and series frequency coefficients support designers evaluating ripple stress over the intended frequency range.
• Designed for long-term elevated-temperature operation — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated stress provides predictable aging behavior for reliable deployments.
• Through-hole radial mounting — 5 mm lead spacing and radial leads simplify mechanical retention and rework compared with surface-mount parts in certain assemblies.
• Measurable electrical limits — Datasheet-specified tan δ and leakage current criteria enable straightforward verification and quality assurance during design and production.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances as indicated for the UPT series.
