UVR1C153MRD

The UVR1C153MRD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVR series, designed for general-purpose and entertainment-electronics applications. It delivers a large 15,000 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V in a compact φ20 × 40 mm can.

Key attributes include specified low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, a defined endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C, and a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C—making it suitable for bulk energy storage and ripple filtering in low-voltage circuits.

Key Features

• High Capacitance / Low-Voltage: 15,000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, providing substantial bulk storage for low-voltage systems.
• Ripple Current Capability: Specified low-frequency ripple current of 3.4 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 3.91 A at 10 kHz to support smoothing and filtering tasks across a range of switching frequencies.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated for 2,000 hours at 85°C and operable from −40°C to +85°C, with performance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current defined after endurance testing.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ): tan δ = 0.48 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, reflecting the AC loss characteristics for this high-capacitance part.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 7,200 µA (measured condition provided in product data), enabling designers to budget quiescent currents appropriately.
• Radial-Lead Can Package: φ20 × 40 mm aluminum can with 10 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies; available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as noted for the UVR series.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics: Bulk energy storage and power-supply filtering in consumer audio/video and related entertainment devices, consistent with the UVR series positioning.
• Low-Voltage Power Supplies: Smoothing and ripple filtering on 16 V and lower rails where high capacitance is required for transient response and hold-up.
• Switching Regulator Output Filters: Supporting output filtering at both low and higher switching frequencies, leveraging the specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Capacitance in a Compact Can: 15,000 µF in a φ20 × 40 mm package maximizes bulk storage without a large board footprint.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Specification: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (120 Hz and 10 kHz) help designers verify thermal and lifetime performance across typical power-supply conditions.
• Defined Endurance Rating: 2,000 hours at 85°C provides a measurable long-term performance baseline for thermal design and lifecycle planning.
• Engineered for Entertainment Electronics: Part of Nichicon’s UVR series, positioned for entertainment-electronics use cases where reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling are required.
• Through-Hole Mounting Convenience: Radial-lead can with 10 mm lead spacing and standard can dimensions simplifies mechanical integration for hand or wave-soldered assemblies.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements noted for the series, simplifying regulatory considerations for electronic assemblies.
