UPZ2G151MHD

The UPZ2G151MHD is a miniature, high-voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for general-purpose applications. As part of Nichicon’s UPZ series, it offers a 400 V rated voltage with 150 µF capacitance in a compact φ16 × 40 mm package.

Engineered for reliability across a wide temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) and specified for extended endurance (2000 h at 105°C), this radial‑lead, polarized capacitor is intended for designs that require high-voltage energy storage in a small footprint.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Tolerance — 150 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance –20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High Rated Voltage — 400 V DC rating suitable for high‑voltage circuits within the UPZ series range.
• Low-Loss Characteristic — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.15 (measurement condition: 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting stable electrical performance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 770 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.155 A (10 kHz), enabling handling of AC ripple across frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2500 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C under rated voltage as described in the series datasheet).
• Operating Temperature and Endurance — Rated for –40°C to +105°C with a life/endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions.
• Footprint and Mounting — Radial lead, polarized can in a φ16 × 40 mm case with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm lead spacing tolerance) for through‑hole mounting.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to suit production and prototyping workflows.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Suited for circuits requiring 400 V rated bulk capacitance in a compact radial‑lead package.
• High‑Voltage DC Link and Energy Storage — Provides 150 µF of capacitance at 400 V for energy buffering in general‑purpose equipment.
• Filter and Ripple Management — Ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support AC ripple handling across low and high frequency ranges in general applications.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high‑voltage solution: Delivers 400 V rating in a φ16 × 40 mm miniature can, enabling higher voltage designs without a large footprint.
• Measured loss control: Specified tan δ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz, providing predictable dissipation characteristics for thermal and circuit design.
• Frequency‑spanning ripple capability: Rated ripple current values for both 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers quantify performance across common ripple environments.
• Wide operating temperature: –40°C to +105°C range with a 2000 h endurance rating at 105°C supports long‑term reliability in thermally demanding installations.
• Through‑hole mounting convenience: Radial lead format with defined 7.5 mm lead spacing and ±0.5 mm tolerance simplifies PCB layout and assembly for through‑hole processes.
• Packaging flexibility: Bulk and bag packing options accommodate both production volumes and prototyping needs.
