UVR1E153MRD

The UVR1E153MRD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating. It is part of Nichicon's UVR series, a miniature-sized standard series targeted for entertainment and general-purpose electronics.

Designed for through-hole mounting, the device provides high bulk capacitance, measurable ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and an operational temperature range suitable for many consumer and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, rated for 25 V operation.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current of 3.8 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 4.37 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and bulk energy buffering.
• Electrical Losses: Dissipation factor (tan δ) specified at 0.44 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz to inform thermal and ESR considerations in design.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 11,250 µA for initial sizing and power budgeting.
• Endurance & Temperature Range: Rated life of 2,000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & Mounting: Radial can package, size φ22 × 50 mm, lead spacing 10 mm (±0.5 mm), packaged in bulk/bag (no terminal forming) for through‑hole assembly.
• Compliance: RoHS‑compliant per product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Entertainment Equipment: Bulk energy storage and smoothing in audio/video players, set‑top boxes, and other consumer electronics where the UVR series is commonly specified.
• Power Supply Filtering: DC bus and post‑rectifier filtering for smoothing ripple and maintaining supply stability in general‑purpose power supplies.
• Motor Drive Support and Auxiliary Power: Bulk decoupling and transient support for small motor drive circuits and auxiliary power rails in consumer and industrial devices.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 15,000 µF provides substantial energy storage in a compact radial can, reducing the number of discrete caps required for large‑value filtering.
• Measured Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors for real operating waveforms and thermal loading.
• Through‑Hole Simplicity: Radial lead configuration with 10 mm lead spacing simplifies manual assembly, wave soldering preparations, and retrofit designs.
• Thermal Endurance: 2,000 hours rated life at 85°C supports continuous operation in elevated ambient environments common to electronics enclosures.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
