UVY1A153MHD

The UVY1A153MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVY series, offering a high bulk capacitance of 15,000 µF in a radial-lead can package. Designed for general-purpose electronic designs, it provides large energy storage and ripple-current handling in a compact φ16 × 35.5 mm case.

Its electrical and environmental specifications—10 V rated voltage, wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C), and 2,000 hours endurance at 105 °C—make it suitable for applications requiring stable bulk capacitance and long-term reliability under thermal stress.

Key Features

• High Bulk Capacitance: 15,000 µF nominal capacitance provides substantial energy storage for smoothing and bulk decoupling in general-purpose circuits.
• Rated Voltage: 10 V rated voltage appropriate for low-voltage power rails and energy storage applications.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 2.05 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.3575 A (specified), enabling effective AC ripple handling across frequency ranges.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operating range from −55 °C to 105 °C supports designs that must perform across extended ambient conditions.
• Endurance and Reliability: Life rating of 2,000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable aging characteristics for end-of-life planning.
• Loss Tangent and Leakage: tanδ (DF) specified as 0.52 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current listed as 4,500 µA—useful for power-budget and thermal considerations.
• Mechanical and Mounting: Radial lead can package, size φ16 × 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 cm × D: 1.6 cm), lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), and polar construction for through-hole mounting.
• Packaging and Availability: Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product status is mass production.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk energy storage and smoothing on low-voltage rails in a wide range of electronic equipment.
• Decoupling and bulk reservoir — Provides high capacitance for energy buffering and transient suppression in power supply stages.
• Embedded systems and industrial electronics — Suitable for general-purpose designs requiring long-life capacitors with broad temperature tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial energy density: 15,000 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm can delivers sizeable capacitance in a compact radial package, reducing board area for bulk storage.
• Designed for thermal endurance: 2,000-hour rating at 105 °C enables predictable performance in thermally demanding environments.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents help designers assess thermal and ripple-related stresses across operating frequencies.
• Wide operating temperature span: −55 °C to 105 °C supports deployment in applications with extreme low and elevated ambient temperatures.
• Multiple packing options: Available in bulk or bag packing to accommodate production and inventory workflows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies use in products targeting regulated markets.
