Overview of UVZ1C153MRD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 15,000 µF, 16 V

The UVZ1C153MRD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 15,000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a φ20 × 40 mm can. It is a polarized, general-purpose capacitor designed for applications that require high bulk capacitance, wide operating temperature range, and robust ripple handling.

Key attributes include a wide temperature range from −55°C to 105°C, rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, and measurable ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies—making it suitable for a range of general-purpose electronic designs that need compact, high-capacitance through-hole components.

Key Features

  • High Capacitance — 15,000 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20%, delivering significant bulk energy storage in a single component.
  • Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage power rails and supply filtering.
  • Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to 105°C to support designs exposed to broad ambient conditions.
  • Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C, specified to meet endurance criteria after the rated voltage is applied for the test period.
  • Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.43 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.795 A at 10 kHz for effective AC stress handling.
  • Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 7200 µA to allow precise design of bias and discharge behavior.
  • Radial Lead Package — φ20 × 40 mm can with 10 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole PCB assemblies; available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.
  • Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

  • General-purpose electronic equipment — Provides bulk capacitance for filtering and energy storage where a high-value radial electrolytic capacitor is required.
  • Through-hole power supply circuits — Fits PCB layouts that use radial-lead components and 10 mm lead spacing for smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage rails.
  • Industrial and commercial assemblies — Wide −55°C to 105°C operating range and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C make it suitable for stable performance in varied environments.

Unique Advantages

  • Large capacitance in a compact can: 15,000 µF in a φ20 × 40 mm package provides significant bulk capacitance with a small board footprint.
  • Validated high-temperature endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, helping designers meet longevity targets under elevated operating conditions.
  • Dual-frequency ripple ratings: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz (2.43 A) and 10 kHz (2.795 A) enables designers to size components against expected AC stress across frequency ranges.
  • Clear mechanical compatibility: Radial-lead can with 10 mm lead spacing and defined lead-spacing tolerance simplifies PCB layout and assembly for through-hole designs.
  • RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free designs.
  • Packaged for production: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match procurement and assembly workflows.

Why Choose UVZ1C153MRD?

The UVZ1C153MRD positions itself as a practical solution for engineers needing high-value bulk capacitance in a through-hole radial package.
