URZ2C151MRD6

The URZ2C151MRD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s URZ series. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ20 × 20 mm can with 10 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose circuits that require a polarized electrolytic solution.

This part offers a combination of wide operating temperature capability and specified ripple-current performance for both low and high frequency operation, plus a defined endurance of 1000 hours at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage in polarized applications.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ20 × 20 mm) with 10 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C, supporting designs that require extended ambient temperature capability.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 510 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 816 mA (10 kHz) to support AC ripple handling across a range of frequencies.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.2 at 20 °C / 120 Hz and leakage current 1060 µA, enabling designers to account for dissipation and DC leakage in their circuits.
• Endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 105 °C (endurance condition), with capacitance change and dissipation limits defined for post-test recovery to 20 °C.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or prototyping workflows.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Circuits — For use where a polarized 150 µF, 160 V electrolytic capacitor is required for energy storage or smoothing in general-purpose designs.
• Through-Hole PCB Designs — Radial lead form and 10 mm lead spacing support traditional PCB layouts and manual or wave-solder assembly flows.
• Elevated Temperature Environments — Suitable for applications that demand capacitor operation up to 105 °C with a defined 1000-hour endurance rating.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage circuits where lower-voltage electrolytics are not suitable.
• Defined Ripple Performance: Published low- and high-frequency ripple current values (510 mA at 120 Hz, 816 mA at 10 kHz) allow accurate thermal and reliability planning.
• Compact, Low-Profile Can: φ20 × 20 mm physical size provides a compact footprint for space-constrained through-hole designs.
• Wide Operating Range: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range with 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C for predictable long-term performance in elevated temperatures.
• Standardized Lead Geometry: 10 mm lead spacing with ±0.5 mm tolerance simplifies PCB layout and mechanical placement tasks.
• Flexible Packaging: Bulk and bag packing options accommodate both prototype runs and higher-volume production handling.
