UPV0J151MGD

The UPV0J151MGD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling in space-constrained assemblies. It is part of Nichicon's UPV series, which emphasizes low impedance and high reliability for extended high-temperature operation.

Key value comes from its compact can-style package, rated 150 µF at 6.3 V, RoHS compliance, and a proven endurance specification of 5000 hours at +105°C—making it suitable for demanding, long-life electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of ±20%.
• Miniature radial-can package — Compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through-hole applications and easy prototyping.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated for 5000 hours of load life at +105°C to support long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide operating temperature range — Specified for operation from −55°C to +105°C to cover a broad set of ambient conditions.
• Low impedance & ripple handling — Specified ripple current performance of 132.8 mA at 120 Hz and 225 mA at 200 kHz supports effective smoothing and decoupling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage current characteristic — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV (µA) after one minute at 20°C when rated voltage is applied, providing predictable standby behavior.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized design — Polarized capacitor suitable for applications requiring an electrolytic capacitor topology.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in compact power supplies and regulator outputs.
• Decoupling for embedded systems — Board-level decoupling where a compact, radial-lead electrolytic is required for energy storage near regulators or microcontrollers.
• Consumer electronics — Space-efficient capacitance for audio circuits, display electronics, and other household devices requiring stable filtering.
• Industrial control and instrumentation — Capacitive support for control circuitry and analog front-ends operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint for tight layouts — Small can dimensions and short profile simplify placement in cramped PCB areas while maintaining needed capacitance.
• Designed for elevated-temperature reliability — 5000-hour load-life at +105°C provides predictable aging and endurance for long-life applications.
• Documented ripple performance across frequencies — Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 200 kHz enable designers to assess thermal and AC stress for both low- and high-frequency applications.
• Through-hole radial mounting — Simplifies assembly for retrofit designs, hand-soldering, and robust mechanical retention compared with leadless solutions.
• Predictable leakage behavior — Leakage current defined by the 0.03CV formula after one minute at 20°C allows accurate power budgeting in standby modes.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports deployment in regions and products requiring restricted-substance adherence.
