UBW1C101MPD

The UBW1C101MPD is a Nichicon UBW series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, specified at 100 µF and 16 V. It is designed for high‑temperature, long‑life operation with an operating range from -55 °C to 135 °C and an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 135 °C.

Engineered for demanding environments, the part offers measurable ripple current capability, low leakage, and AEC‑Q200 qualification for automotive applications. Its compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can and radial leads with 3.5 mm spacing make it suitable for rugged power and control modules.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20 °C) appropriate for bulk decoupling and energy storage tasks.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V working voltage for low‑voltage power rails.
• High Temperature Endurance — Specified for operation from -55 °C to 135 °C with a lifetime of 1000 hours at 135 °C, supporting prolonged operation in hot environments.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple currents of 227.8 mA at 120 Hz and 340 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective filtering under AC ripple conditions.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current of 48 µA, helping minimize standby losses and maintain efficiency in low‑current circuits.
• Electrical Impedance — Impedance of 320 mΩ provides a quantifiable reference for ESR in power‑path design and transient response calculations.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead can package (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for flexible assembly workflows.
• AEC‑Q200 Rated — AEC‑Q200 classification for use in automotive electronics where component-level qualification is required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive control modules — Suited for power‑rail smoothing and local energy storage in modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation up to 135 °C.
• Power supply filtering — Provides bulk decoupling and ripple attenuation on low‑voltage DC rails, leveraging 100 µF capacitance and defined ripple current ratings.
• Sensor and actuator electronics — Compact radial package and low leakage current make it suitable for electronics located in thermally demanding zones.

Unique Advantages

• High‑temperature capability: Rated to 135 °C with a 1000‑hour endurance at that temperature, supporting designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Automotive grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating provides traceable qualification for automotive electronics development and validation.
• Quantified ripple and impedance data: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies and 320 mΩ impedance simplify thermal and ESR budgeting for power designs.
• Low leakage performance: 48 µA leakage current helps reduce standby losses and supports energy‑sensitive circuits.
• Compact radial form factor: φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing fits confined PCB layouts while enabling through‑hole mounting robustness.
• Available packaging options: Bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing accommodate different assembly and inventory handling processes.
