NLJB157M004R1500

Overview

The NLJB157M004R1500 is a niobium oxide capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. It features a capacitance of 150 µF with a tolerance of ±20% and a rated voltage of 4 V. The component utilizes a solid electrolyte construction, providing an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 1.5 Ohms. It is housed in a surface-mount package available in 1411 (3528 Metric) or 1210 dimensions. This part is classified as no longer manufactured.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes niobium oxide solid electrolyte technology for stable performance
• Designed for surface-mount applications in compact form factors
• Provides high volumetric efficiency relative to traditional tantalum capacitors

Applications

• Digital electronics power filtering
• Industrial machine control circuits
• Automotive electronic devices

Procurement Notes

This specific part number is officially listed as no longer manufactured by the producer. Procurement efforts should focus on verifying remaining stock availability through authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Buyers must confirm the authenticity and storage history of any units found, as lead times are not applicable for discontinued items. Replacement strategies should be initiated immediately to ensure supply chain continuity for existing designs.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this component should consider its 150 µF capacitance and 4 V rating within the context of space-constrained designs requiring low ESR. The 1210 or 1411 footprint options allow flexibility for board layout. Due to the discontinued status, alternative sourcing requires careful evaluation of long-term availability. Designers may need to assess if newer generations of niobium oxide capacitors from the manufacturer offer compatible electrical characteristics and pin configurations for direct substitution.
