UPW1H152MHD

The UPW1H152MHD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series. It delivers 1500 µF at 50 V in a compact φ16 × 30.5 mm can, optimized for low impedance and high reliability in power applications.

Designed for demanding environments, the component targets switching power supplies and automotive electronics (AEC‑Q200 rated), offering high ripple capability, broad temperature operation and a long endurance life at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 50 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low impedance — Specified impedance of 56 mΩ to minimize ripple voltage and improve transient response in power rails.
• High ripple current capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 2.295 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 2.7 A (10 kHz), with frequency coefficient alignment for large capacitances.
• Loss characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) measured at 0.10 under 20°C, 120 Hz, 50 V conditions for this part configuration.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 2250 µA at rated conditions.
• High endurance — Rated for 8000 hours at 105°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Wide temperature range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C for broad environmental applicability.
• Package & mounting — Radial lead, can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Automotive‑grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated for use in applications requiring component level automotive test qualification.
• Compact footprint — Size φ16 × 30.5 mm provides high capacitance density for space‑constrained designs.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Bulk smoothing and output decoupling where low impedance and high ripple handling improve regulation and transient response.
• Automotive electronics — Energy storage and power filtering in systems requiring AEC‑Q200 component qualification and extended high‑temperature endurance.
• DC‑DC converters and power modules — Local energy reservoir and ripple attenuation on converter outputs and intermediate rails.
• Industrial power systems — Filtering and bulk capacitance for control and power distribution modules operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 2.295 A (120 Hz) and 2.7 A (10 kHz) enable reliable filtering under continuous stress, reducing voltage ripple on power rails.
• Low ESR/impedance: 56 mΩ impedance helps minimize losses and heat generation, improving converter efficiency and thermal performance.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 8000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long service life in elevated‑temperature installations.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Provides an established automotive component qualification baseline for designs targeting vehicle electronics.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ16 × 30.5 mm radial can with standard 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies PCB layout and replacement in through‑hole assemblies.
• Measurable loss characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current figures allow predictable thermal and performance budgeting in system simulations.
