B41252A5159M – EPCOS

The B41252A5159M, manufactured by EPCOS, is a snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitor characterized by a capacitance of 15000μF with a tolerance of ±20%. Its rated voltage is 25V DC. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance values in a compact form factor. The snap-in terminals facilitate secure and stable mounting on printed circuit boards. The capacitor’s construction utilizes a non-solid electrolyte, contributing to its high capacitance density. Key electrical parameters, beyond capacitance and voltage, include ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance), and ripple current capability, which are critical for power supply filtering and energy storage applications. Engineers should consult the manufacturer’s datasheet for detailed specifications regarding operating temperature range, lifetime expectancy under specified conditions, and surge voltage ratings to ensure proper application and reliability.
