Overview of UPV1H150MFD – Miniature Low‑Impedance Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPV1H150MFD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPV miniature low‑impedance series. It provides 15 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact radial can package designed for general‑purpose electronic circuits.
Key value points include a compact footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm), long‑life endurance of 5000 hours at +105°C, wide operating temperature range (–55°C to +105°C), and RoHS compliance for environmentally conscious designs.
Key Features
- Core Electrical — Rated capacitance 15 µF at 50 V with polarization; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
- Low Impedance Series — Part of Nichicon’s UPV low‑impedance series, designed to support stable performance in compact designs and elevated temperatures.
- Thermal and Lifetime Performance — Specified for operation from –55°C to +105°C and endurance of 5000 hours at +105°C under rated voltage.
- Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 72.5 mA at 120 Hz and 145 mA at 1 kHz, suitable for common power filtering frequencies in small circuits.
- Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package with 2 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm); designed for through‑hole radial lead mounting.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant in accordance with the stated directive.
Typical Applications
- Compact power supplies — Bulk decoupling and smoothing where a 50 V, 15 µF polarized capacitor in a small footprint is required.
- General‑purpose electronic circuits — Decoupling, filtering and energy storage in space‑constrained assemblies.
- Industrial and consumer electronics — Circuits that require sustained performance at higher operating temperatures up to +105°C.
Unique Advantages
- Miniature footprint: 1.1 × 0.5 cm case size and 2 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area for dense designs.
- Long high‑temperature life: Rated for 5000 hours at +105°C, providing predictable durability in elevated‑temperature environments.
- Designed for low impedance: UPV series construction targets lower impedance behavior for stable filtering and decoupling performance.
- Measured ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 1 kHz give designers concrete limits for thermal and ripple budgeting.
- Through‑hole robustness: Radial lead, can package offers simple, mechanically stable mounting for prototyping and production.
- RoHS compliant: Meets the stated RoHS directive for environmental regulatory requirements.
