UPW0J151MED

The UPW0J151MED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low‑impedance, high‑reliability use in switching power supplies. It is a polarized, radial‑lead, can‑style capacitor with a 150 µF capacitance and a 6.3 V rated voltage.

Targeted at automotive and other demanding markets, this part combines a compact footprint, industry‑grade temperature capability, and AEC‑Q200 qualification to support compact power modules and low‑voltage supply filtering in constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rated voltage, with a tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Miniature, Radial Can Package — Radial lead, can‑style package with lead spacing of 2.5 mm and package dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm; height seated max 1.1 cm, enabling compact board layouts.
• Low Impedance Design — Specified as low impedance for switching power supplies; dielectric loss (tan δ) maximum for 6.3 V rating is 0.22 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 188.5 mA at 120 Hz and 290 mA at 10 kHz, with a frequency coefficient of rated ripple current of 0.65 at 120 Hz for the 68–330 µF grouping.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• AEC‑Q200 Reliability — Provided with AEC‑Q200 rating for enhanced reliability in automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV (µA) after one minute’s application of the rated voltage at 20 °C.
• Lifetime at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C under the specified conditions.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Input and output filtering and decoupling in compact switching regulators where low impedance and miniature size are required.
• Automotive Electronic Modules — Power conditioning and smoothing within automotive control modules, utilizing the AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range.
• Compact Power Converters — Local energy storage and ripple suppression in small DC‑DC converters and compact power assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient footprint: Small L×D (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and radial can package enable denser PCB layouts and smaller power boards.
• Designed for low‑voltage power rails: 6.3 V rating and 150 µF value provide effective decoupling and smoothing for low‑voltage supplies.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help maintain stable performance under dynamic load conditions.
• Broad thermal range: −55 °C to +105 °C operation supports use across harsh environmental profiles common in automotive and industrial electronics.
• Automotive‑grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating supports qualification and deployment in automotive electronic systems.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Clear specifications for tan δ and leakage current simplify design verification and system-level modeling.
