UPW0J153MHD

The UPW0J153MHD is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, offering 15,000 µF of capacitance at 6.3 V in a compact can package (φ18 × 35.5 mm). It is designed for applications that require high bulk capacitance, low impedance and sustained ripple handling over long operating life.

Targeted uses include switching power supplies and automotive electronics where endurance, high ripple current capability and temperature tolerance are required. The part is rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C and carries AEC‑Q200 ratings for enhanced reliability in demanding environments.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, Low Voltage — 15,000 µF at a rated voltage of 6.3 V, providing substantial bulk energy storage for low-voltage power rails and smoothing.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 30 mΩ, improving transient response and reducing ripple on DC rails.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current 3.128 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.68 A (100 kHz), enabling sustained operation under heavy AC stress.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 8,000 hours at 105 °C, suitable for designs requiring extended operational longevity.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C to support a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Radial Lead, Compact Can — Radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing and a compact size of φ18 × 35.5 mm for straightforward PCB assembly and space-efficient placement.
• Loss Characteristic — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.5 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2,835 µA after rated voltage application conditions.
• AEC‑Q200 Rated — Meets AEC‑Q200 requirements for passive component reliability in automotive and other high-reliability applications.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage to support converters and regulators in power stages.
• Automotive Electronics — Power rail decoupling and filtering in automotive control modules where AEC‑Q200 validation and wide temperature operation are required.
• High‑Ripple DC Power Rails — Systems that demand sustained ripple current handling and long capacitor life at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Bulk Storage: 15,000 µF at 6.3 V provides large energy reserve for low-voltage rails, reducing the need for parallel components.
• Improved Power Integrity: Low 30 mΩ impedance and high ripple current ratings help lower voltage excursions and improve converter stability.
• Designed for Endurance: 8,000 hours at 105 °C supports long service intervals and reliability in thermally stressed environments.
• Automotive‑grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in applications requiring recognized component screening and qualification.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ18 × 35.5 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing enable dense placement and easy radial-lead assembly.
