Key Features
- 1500 µF capacitance at 10 V DC rating delivers substantial bulk energy storage for point-of-load power supply filtering and hold-up in SMD designs
- TK series low-ESR aluminum electrolytic construction reduces output voltage ripple in switching power converters operating at frequencies up to 100 kHz
- Surface mount (SMD) package enables automated reflow assembly and eliminates through-hole drilling, reducing PCB manufacturing cost
- Panasonic TK series construction provides long operating life and stable capacitance for industrial and consumer power supply applications
Applications
The EEE-TKA152UAQ is widely used as a bulk output capacitor in switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, and point-of-load regulators where 1500 µF at 10 V provides sufficient energy storage to reduce output ripple below 50 mV under dynamic load conditions. Its SMD form factor suits high-density PCBs in industrial motor controllers, telecom base station boards, and server power modules. The low-ESR TK series construction also supports decoupling applications in high-current microprocessor and FPGA power distribution networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacitance and voltage rating does EEE-TKA152UAQ provide for power supply designs?
The EEE-TKA152UAQ provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 10 V DC rated voltage. This large capacitance value supplies bulk energy storage to stabilize output voltage in switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters, reducing output ripple and supporting hold-up time during transient load steps in industrial and consumer electronics power distribution designs.
How does the low-ESR TK series construction of EEE-TKA152UAQ benefit switching power supply designs?
Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) in the Panasonic TK series reduces I²R resistive losses and limits the capacitive ripple voltage contribution at the output of switching converters operating between 10 kHz and 100 kHz. A lower ESR allows the 1500 µF capacitor to filter more effectively, keeping output voltage ripple below acceptable thresholds (typically 50 mV to 100 mV peak-to-peak) without requiring additional parallel capacitors that increase BOM count and PCB area.
What SMD package dimensions should designers expect for EEE-TKA152UAQ in PCB layout planning?
The EEE-TKA152UAQ is a surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Panasonic TK series SMD format, which typically uses a cylindrical can mounted on a flat base. Standard footprints for 1500 µF 10 V SMD electrolytic capacitors in this series generally measure 10 mm diameter by 10 mm height or 10 mm by 12.5 mm, requiring a PCB land pattern with 5 mm to 5.5 mm lead pitch to accommodate automated reflow solder assembly.
When is EEE-TKA152UAQ preferred over a tantalum or MLCC capacitor for 10 V bulk decoupling?
EEE-TKA152UAQ at 1500 µF 10 V is preferred over tantalum capacitors when cost per microfarad matters at high capacitance values, since aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide capacitance densities above 1000 µF at lower unit cost than equivalent tantalum parts. MLCCs above 100 µF at 10 V suffer from DC bias derating that can reduce effective capacitance by 50% or more, making the EEE-TKA152UAQ a more reliable choice for holding the full 1500 µF under actual supply voltage conditions.
