UVC2G150MPD

The UVC2G150MPD is an ultra-miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package, optimized for compact adapter circuits and general-purpose power electronics. It delivers a 15 µF capacitance at a 400 V rating with a space-saving 10 × 16 mm (φD × L) case and 5 mm lead spacing, making it suitable where high voltage capability and a small footprint are required.

Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF rated capacitance with a 400 V rated voltage and a tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Compact Package — Ultra-miniature radial can package sized 10 × 16 mm (φD × L); height seated max 16 mm and lead spacing 5 mm for through-hole mounting.
• Thermal Performance & Lifetime — Operating temperature range from –40 °C to +105 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Ripple & Frequency Performance — Rated ripple current 150 mA at 120 Hz (105 °C) and 225 mA at 10 kHz, enabling use across a range of switching frequencies.
• Electrical Characteristics — Leakage current defined as I = 0.04CV + 100 µA (after 1 minute at 20 °C); tan δ (max.) 0.25 at 400 V, 120 Hz.
• Low-Temperature Stability — Impedance ratios of Z(–25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 6 and Z(–40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 10 for improved low-temperature behavior.
• Mounting & Polarity — Radial lead, polarized capacitor in a can-style package suitable for through-hole assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Adapter Circuits — Compact AC/DC adapters and wall-supplies where a small, high-voltage smoothing capacitor is required for output filtering and bulk storage.
• Switching Power Supplies — Local filtering and energy smoothing in compact SMPS designs requiring a 400 V rating and modest ripple current handling.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Through-hole assemblies where a polarized, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is needed in a constrained PCB area.

Unique Advantages

• Space-Saving Form Factor: One rank smaller case size than the comparable UVY series, delivering high-voltage capacitance in a compact 10 × 16 mm package.
• High Voltage Capability: 400 V rating supports line-side and high-voltage sections of adapter and power-supply circuits without series stacking.
• Robust Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C under specified DC bias and ripple—useful for designs that operate at elevated temperatures.
• Measurable Electrical Limits: Defined leakage current formula and tan δ limit provide predictable behavior for margin and reliability calculations.
• Through-Hole Simplicity: Radial lead construction with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies prototyping and board-level repair or replacement.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets applicable RoHS directives for lead-free, restricted-substance requirements.

Why Choose UVC2G150MPD?

The UVC2G150MPD positions itself as a compact, high-voltage aluminum electrolytic solution for space-constrained adapter and power-supply applications. Its 15 µF / 400 V rating, combined with a 10 × 16 mm can and radial leads, makes it practical for designers needing through-hole assembly and measured ripple performance across a range of frequencies.

Manufactured by Nichicon, the part offers defined electrical parameters (leakage current formula, tan δ maximum, impedance ratios) and endurance data that help engineers evaluate lifecycle and reliability in real-world operating temperatures. Because this part is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs, consider availability and lifecycle when planning procurement or replacement strategies.
