UPW1E152MHD

The UPW1E152MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, offered with a nominal capacitance of 1500 µF and a rated voltage of 25 V. It is designed as a miniature, low-impedance, high-reliability solution suitable for switching power supply applications and other power-filtering roles.

This part provides high ripple-current capability, a wide operating temperature range from −55 °C to +105 °C, and long endurance (8000 hours at 105 °C), making it appropriate for designs that require sustained performance in elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance — 1500 µF with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated voltage — 25 V DC rating provides a standard power-supply voltage margin for many applications.
• Low impedance — Impedance of 44 mΩ supports low-loss filtering and stable performance under ripple conditions.
• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 2.17175 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.555 A at 10 kHz for robust AC stress handling.
• Loss and leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.14 (20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current of 1125 µA as-measured values to help predict dissipation and standby loss.
• Endurance — Rated life of 8000 hours at 105 °C under the specified DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for use across demanding thermal environments.
• Package and size — Radial, can-style body φ16 × 25L (16 mm diameter × 25 mm length) with lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm).
• Mounting and polarity — Polarized radial-lead configuration for through-hole mounting.
• AEC qualification — Rated to AEC-Q200 for designs that require that level of component qualification.
• Packaging options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly preferences.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Provides bulk filtering and low-impedance decoupling for switching regulators and supply rails.
• Automotive electronic systems — AEC-Q200-rated capacitor option for vehicle electronics requiring elevated temperature endurance and ripple tolerance.
• Power modules and power-management circuits — Used where sustained ripple-current handling and long life at elevated temperature are required.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (2.172 A at 120 Hz and 2.555 A at 10 kHz) reduce voltage ripple and thermal stress in power stages.
• Long high-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 105 °C supports reliable long-term operation in hot environments and helps extend system service life.
• Compact radial package: φ16 × 25 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing deliver a small footprint for through-hole designs that need substantial capacitance.
• Low impedance and defined dissipation: 44 mΩ impedance and tan δ of 0.14 (20 °C, 120 Hz) allow predictable AC performance and thermal management planning.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating enables use in applications that call for that industry qualification level.
