UVK1A153MHD

The UVK1A153MHD from Nichicon is a miniature-sized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UVK series, configured as a radial-lead, polarized can. It provides 15,000 µF of capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ16 × 35.5 mm package, intended for general-purpose electronic designs that require high bulk capacitance in a small footprint.

Designed for mainstream production, this part delivers specified ripple current performance and a 2,000 hour endurance at 85°C, making it suitable for board-level bulk storage and power-circuit applications within its rated temperature range.

Key Features

• High Capacitance — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance to provide substantial bulk energy storage in a compact radial-can package.
• Rated Voltage — 10 V DC rated voltage for low-voltage power rails.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable sizing in design calculations.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.52 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (value reflects the high capacitance correction specified in the UVK series datasheet).
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 2.88 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.312 A at 10 kHz, specified for evaluating thermal and ripple capability in your designs.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 4,500 µA for initial leakage assessment.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with endurance of 2,000 hours at 85°C per the UVK series specifications.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead mounting, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), and compact dimensions: diameter 16 mm × length 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 × D: 1.6 cm).
• Packaging & Production Status — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product is in mass production.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive as stated for the UVK series.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — For general-purpose circuits requiring a large 15,000 µF capacitor in a miniature radial-can format.
• Board-Level Bulk Capacitance — Compact φ16 × 35.5 mm can provides high bulk storage where board space is constrained and extended charge storage is needed within the specified temperature range.
• Power Rail Filtering — Use where a 10 V rated capacitor with defined ripple current (2.88 A at 120 Hz, 3.312 A at 10 kHz) is required to meet design ripple and thermal constraints.

Unique Advantages

• Large Capacitance in a Small Package: 15,000 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm can enables substantial bulk energy storage while conserving PCB area.
• Radial-Lead Convenience: Standard radial lead spacing (7.5 mm) simplifies through-hole mounting and assembly for many board layouts.
• Ripple Performance Specified: Both low- and high-frequency ripple currents are provided for accurate thermal and lifetime assessments in designs.
• Endurance Rated: 2,000 hours at 85°C endurance gives a clear baseline for lifetime planning in elevated-temperature environments.
• Production-Ready Supply: Mass-production status and packaging options (bulk or bag) support volume procurement and assembly flows.
