UPW1J150MED

The UPW1J150MED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package, designed for board-level power filtering in switching power supplies and compact power modules. It delivers a 15 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with a low-impedance characteristic tailored for high-frequency ripple handling.

Engineered for reliable operation across a broad temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and qualified to AEC-Q200, this part targets automotive and other demanding applications that require compact size, stable electrical performance, and defined life characteristics.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating: 15 µF capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk and decoupling duties in compact power circuits.
• Low impedance / Ripple performance: Designed for switching power supplies with specified ripple current of 48 mA at 120 Hz and 160 mA at 10 kHz to support high-frequency ripple absorption.
• Temperature and endurance: Operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and a demonstrated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C for defined reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets AEC-Q200 requirements, supporting use in automotive electronic systems where component-level qualification is required.
• Package and mounting: Radial lead (can) package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm); polarized for correct circuit integration.
• Leakage and loss characteristics: Series leakage current specification of not more than 0.03CV (µA) after one minute at 20°C, and a maximum tan δ of 0.09 at the 63 V rating for predictable dissipation behavior.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk and output filtering where low impedance and defined ripple current handling improve regulation and transient response.
• Automotive Electronic Systems: Suitable for compact automotive power subsystems due to AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation.
• Compact Power Modules and DC–DC Converters: Small form-factor radial can for board-level smoothing and decoupling in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small can size (L 1.1 cm × D 0.63 cm) and short lead spacing enable space-efficient layouts on crowded PCBs.
• Low-impedance performance at frequency: Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies (48 mA at 120 Hz, 160 mA at 10 kHz) aligns with switching regulator requirements.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides traceable qualification for automotive electronics and other safety-critical applications.
• Wide operating range and defined life: −55°C to +105°C operation with a 2000 h life at 105°C supports deployment in thermally demanding environments.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation: Series leakage and tan δ specifications enable designers to budget standby currents and thermal losses accurately.
• Radial-can convenience: Robust radial lead mounting simplifies PCB assembly and replacement in serviceable designs.
