UBT1C101MPD8

The UBT1C101MPD8 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for high‑temperature operation. It provides 100 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with polarized radial leads and a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can.

Targeted at automotive and demanding embedded power applications, this Nichicon UBT series part delivers rated performance to +125°C, a rated life of 2000 hours at 125°C, and measurable ripple handling for power filtering and decoupling use cases.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics — 100 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, designed for polarized applications.
• High‑temperature rating — Rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C with a specified life of 2000 hours at 125°C.
• Ripple performance — Supports 227.8 mA ripple current at 120 Hz and 340 mA at 100 kHz, suitable for continuous ripple loading within those ratings.
• Loss and leakage — Specified tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.16 and leakage current of 48 µA, enabling predictable dissipation and leakage behavior.
• Impedance — Rated impedance of 320 mΩ for frequency‑dependent decoupling and smoothing roles.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead can (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing, bulk packaged for volume assembly.
• Compliance and qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified for automotive applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Suitable for filtering and smoothing in electronic control units (ECUs) and other vehicle power subsystems where +125°C operation and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• Power supply decoupling — Used for bulk decoupling and ripple suppression in embedded power rails, leveraging the specified ripple current ratings and impedance.
• Sensor and actuator electronics — Applied in control and interface circuits that demand reliable polarized capacitance under elevated temperatures.
• In‑vehicle modules — Appropriate for infotainment, body electronics, and other in‑vehicle assemblies requiring AEC‑qualified components and high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Validated high‑temperature life — 2000 hours at +125°C provides a quantifiable endurance metric for designs constrained by elevated ambient or internal temperatures.
• Automotive qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in automotive electronics design flows that require component-level qualification.
• Measured ripple capability — Explicit ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow engineers to align capacitor selection with application ripple loads.
• Compact radial footprint — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing offers a small, serviceable form factor for through‑hole assembly and bulk placement.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance helps meet environmental regulatory requirements for electronic assemblies.
