UPW1J152MHD

The UPW1J152MHD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, designed for low impedance and high-reliability applications. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating in a compact φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Targeted use cases include switching power supplies and automotive electronics where sustained ripple handling, wide operating temperature, and long endurance are required. The part balances high capacitance density, low impedance, and an 8000 hour rated life at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage for power rails.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 60 mΩ, supporting low-loss filtering in high-frequency switching environments.
• High Ripple Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 2.635 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 3.1 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in DC–DC converters and switching supplies.
• Loss Characteristics: tan δ = 0.09 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, suitable for stable performance under AC stress.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating range −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 8000 hours at 105°C for long-term reliability.
• Package & Mounting: Radial-lead, polarized can (φ18 × 35.5 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating for use in qualification-driven automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current listed as 2835 µA, useful for designing standby and power-loss scenarios.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output smoothing where low impedance and high ripple tolerance improve regulation and reduce noise.
• Automotive Electronics — Boards and modules requiring AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors with long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• DC–DC Converters and Power Management — Energy storage and decoupling in compact power subsystems operating up to 105°C.
• Industrial Power Modules — Filtering and stabilization in industrial switching equipment subject to wide temperature ranges and continuous ripple stress.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacitance in a compact package: 1500 µF in a φ18 × 35.5 mm can delivers substantial bulk capacitance while saving board area.
• Designed for high ripple conditions: Specified ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies allow reliable performance across switching regimes.
• Long high-temperature life: 8000 hours at 105°C supports designs that require sustained operation under elevated thermal stress.
• Low-loss performance: 60 mΩ impedance and tan δ = 0.09 help minimize power dissipation and heating in high-frequency applications.
• Automotive-qualified reliability: AEC-Q200 rating provides qualification pedigree for automotive and other high-reliability systems.
• Through-hole convenience: Radial-lead, polarized can simplifies assembly and replacement in serviceable designs.
