Applications
The EEA-GA1H1R5H is used in power supply decoupling, output filtering, and timing circuits on through-hole PCBs where a compact 50 V, 1.5 µF radial capacitor is required. It is commonly placed on the secondary output of AC/DC converters and DC/DC regulator boards to suppress ripple voltage at switching frequencies between 20 kHz and 100 kHz. Consumer electronics, industrial control boards, and lighting ballast designs benefit from its 4 mm × 7 mm form factor when vertical board clearance is limited to under 8 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical ratings of the EEA-GA1H1R5H, and which power supply applications does it suit?
The EEA-GA1H1R5H is rated at 50 V and 1.5 µF capacitance in a 4 mm diameter × 7 mm height radial body. These ratings make it suitable for output filtering in 24 V to 48 V DC/DC converters and decoupling on logic supply rails where moderate capacitance with low leakage is needed at voltage margins up to 50 V. Its ripple current rating at 120 Hz is typically around 30 mA to 50 mA depending on ambient temperature.
How does the 2.5 mm lead spacing on EEA-GA1H1R5H affect PCB footprint design compared to the more common 5 mm pitch radial caps?
The 2.5 mm lead pitch on EEA-GA1H1R5H uses a narrower footprint compared to the standard 5 mm pitch radial capacitors, allowing it to fit in tighter board layouts where component-to-component spacing is as low as 1 mm. Designers must ensure the PCB drill pattern uses 2.5 mm center-to-center holes; using a 5 mm pitch land pattern for this part will cause a mounting error. The 4 mm body diameter means adjacent component clearance from the capacitor edge is reduced to 0.5 mm at minimum.
What does the STR (ammo strip) packaging format mean for EEA-GA1H1R5H procurement and assembly line setup?
STR (straight/ammo strip) packaging on EEA-GA1H1R5H means the capacitors arrive in taped strips with lead spacing pre-formed to 2.5 mm, compatible with standard radial auto-insertion (AI) machines. Ammo strip quantities typically come in reels of 500 to 1000 pieces, and the format eliminates hand-forming of leads, reducing assembly cycle time per capacitor to under 2 seconds on modern through-hole AI equipment.
Over what temperature range does EEA-GA1H1R5H maintain reliable operation, and how does temperature affect its capacitance?
The EEA-GA1H1R5H is rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C, which is the standard extended-temperature range for Panasonic GA series aluminium electrolytic capacitors. Capacitance typically decreases by up to 20% at -40°C relative to its 20°C value of 1.5 µF, while at +105°C it remains within ±20% of nominal. ESR increases significantly at low temperatures, so designs using EEA-GA1H1R5H in cold environments should verify ripple current derating at -25°C to avoid exceeding self-heating limits.
