UVR1C153MRD6

The UVR1C153MRD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UVR series, delivering high bulk capacitance in a compact can (φ25 × 30L). It is designed for general-purpose and entertainment-electronics applications where large energy storage, smoothing, and ripple handling are required.

Key value comes from its 15,000 µF capacitance at 16 V, robust ripple-current capability across low and high frequencies, wide operating temperature range from −40 °C to 85 °C, and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C, all in a radial-can package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for reliable bulk energy storage.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 3.3 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 3.795 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing of DC rails across a range of switching frequencies.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.48 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz, specified for assessment of AC loss and heating in circuit designs.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C to support extended operation in consumer and electronic equipment environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial-lead can with body size φ25 × 30L, lead spacing 12.5 mm (±0.5 mm), and polar construction for through-hole PCB mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 7200 µA, useful for system-level power-loss and standby-power budgeting.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for procurement and production flexibility.

Typical Applications

• Consumer & Entertainment Electronics — Bulk smoothing and energy storage on DC rails in audio/video equipment and home entertainment systems where large capacitance is required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Smoothing and decoupling of power-supply outputs and intermediate DC links where both low- and high-frequency ripple performance is important.
• Audio Power Supplies — Reservoir and smoothing capacitor in amplifier and preamplifier power supplies to support stable biasing and reduce hum.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial energy storage in a compact radial-can footprint for designs requiring large charge reservoirs.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Capability: Rated ripple current values at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow designers to account for both line-frequency and switching-frequency stress in a single component.
• Designed for Extended Operation: 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C supports longer field life in consumer electronic equipment and similar applications.
• Wide Ambient Range: −40 °C to 85 °C operating temperature enables deployment across a wide set of environmental conditions common to general-purpose electronics.
• Through-Hole Simplicity: Radial leaded can with 12.5 mm lead spacing simplifies PCB layout and mechanical mounting for retrofit and new designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regions and products requiring restricted-substance conformance.
