UPW1V151MPD

The UPW1V151MPD is a radial-lead, miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPW series designed for low impedance and high reliability. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Intended for demanding power applications, this AEC-Q200‑rated part offers high ripple-current capability, extended 3000‑hour endurance at 105°C, and a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C—making it suitable for robust power‑supply and electronics designs where space, thermal endurance, and reliable smoothing are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance with a 35 V working voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage and decoupling performance.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 234 mΩ supports low‑loss performance in filtering and bulk decoupling applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 360.8 mA at 120 Hz and 555 mA at 10 kHz to handle switching and high‑frequency stress in power rails.
• High Reliability / Automotive Grade — AEC‑Q200 rating and endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C under rated bias provide proven reliability for long‑life designs.
• Thermal Range & Endurance — Operating temperature from −55°C to 105°C with life testing at 105°C for 3000 hours for designs exposed to wide temperature swings.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in radial lead format for through‑hole assembly and mechanical robustness.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 157.5 µA and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for controlled dissipation and standby losses.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing where low impedance and high ripple handling improve regulator stability and transient response.
• Automotive Electronics — Power rail decoupling and energy storage in vehicle systems, supported by the AEC‑Q200 rating and high‑temperature endurance.
• DC‑DC Converters — Input/output capacitors for converters and regulators that require compact size, low ESR/impedance, and reliable ripple performance.
• Industrial Power Modules — Local energy buffering and noise suppression in compact power modules operating across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Space‑efficient design: Compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can delivers 150 µF in a small footprint to reduce board area for dense power assemblies.
• Measurable low impedance: 234 mΩ impedance supports lower ripple voltage and improved filtering compared to higher‑impedance devices.
• Robust ripple handling: 360.8 mA at 120 Hz and 555 mA at 10 kHz accommodate both low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple from switching sources.
• High‑temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C under rated bias offers predictable lifetime under elevated operating temperatures.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating provides traceable qualification for designs requiring automotive reliability standards.
• Through‑hole mounting advantage: Radial lead package with 3.5 mm spacing simplifies mechanical retention and hand or wave assembly in power subsystems.
