UPT2W150MPD

The UPT2W150MPD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPT series, designed for high ripple current and long life in compact through-hole applications. It is a polarized, radial-lead can rated at 450 V with 15 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance.

Typical use cases include general-purpose power filtering and ballast applications where high voltage capability, elevated temperature endurance and compact size are required. Key value comes from its high ripple handling, 5000-hour endurance at 105°C, and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating: 15 µF capacitance at a 450 V rated voltage, polarized for DC smoothing and energy storage applications.
• Loss and Leakage: Low-loss characteristic with tanδ (DF) 0.20 measured at 20°C/120 Hz and a specified leakage current of 415 µA (measurement condition: 20°C, after 2 minutes).
• High Ripple Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current 150 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 240 mA at 10 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple content.
• Long Endurance: 5000 hours life at 105°C under rated voltage plus rated ripple, with capacitance change within ±20% and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after test.
• Wide Temperature Range: Specified operating temperature from −40°C to +105°C to cover demanding thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Can: Case dimensions φ10 × 30.5 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through-hole assembly; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant as specified for the UPT series.

Typical Applications

• Ballasts and Lamp Drivers: High ripple current capability and 450 V rating make it suitable for AC ballast circuits where compact high-voltage capacitors are required.
• High‑Voltage Power Supplies: Useful for smoothing and decoupling in compact, high-voltage DC power supplies and modules.
• Industrial Power Electronics: Fits compact assemblies needing long-life capacitors capable of operating at elevated temperatures and handling ripple currents.
• General Purpose Filtering: Through-hole radial mounting and compact can size support general-purpose filtering in space-constrained boards.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 450 V rating enables use in high-voltage circuits without series stacking.
• High Ripple Tolerance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear guidance for thermal and ripple management in design.
• Long-Term Reliability: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C under rated conditions delivers predictable aging characteristics for maintenance planning.
• Compact Footprint: φ10 × 30.5 mm can reduces board area compared with larger high-voltage cans while retaining through-hole robustness.
• Measured Loss and Leakage Specs: tanδ of 0.20 (20°C/120 Hz) and explicit leakage current specification support accurate circuit modeling and margining.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directives applicable to the UPT series for regulatory conformity in end products.
