UPZ2G151MHD6

The UPZ2G151MHD6 from Nichicon is a high-voltage, miniature-sized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with polarization and is intended for general-purpose power applications where compact high-voltage smoothing and energy buffering are required.

Designed for through-hole mounting, this part combines elevated voltage capability with defined ripple handling and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for commercial and industrial equipment operating up to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Electrical Loss — tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.15 specified at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable AC behavior in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2500 µA, with the series leakage formula available in the datasheet for verification after voltage application.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.155 A at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients for the 400–450 V range are provided (60 Hz: 0.80, 120 Hz: 1.00, 500 Hz: 1.25, 1 kHz: 1.40, 10 kHz+: 1.50) to adjust ripple limits across frequencies.
• Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead can package, dimensions φ18 × 35.5 mm (D × L), lead spacing 7.5 mm ±0.5 mm, supplied in bulk/bag packing for production assembly.

Typical Applications

• High-voltage DC smoothing — Energy buffering and ripple reduction in 400 V DC rails and power supply stages where a compact high-voltage capacitor is required.
• Industrial power electronics — General-purpose decoupling and filtering in commercial and industrial equipment operating across a broad temperature range.
• Through-hole board assemblies — Use in designs that require a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor with stable endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 400 V rating enables use in elevated-voltage DC circuits without additional series capacitance.
• Compact footprint: φ18 × 35.5 mm can size delivers 150 µF in a space-efficient radial-lead package for through-hole layouts.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz plus frequency coefficients allow accurate thermal and ripple budgeting across frequencies.
• Wide operating range: −40°C to +105°C and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provide predictable long-term behavior in demanding thermal environments.
• Production-ready packaging: Available in bulk/no terminal forming and bag packing to support volume assembly workflows.
