UBW1C102MHD

The UBW1C102MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UBW series. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm can designed for through-hole mounting.

Engineered for high-temperature operation up to +135°C and long endurance, this capacitor targets applications that require robust power filtering and reliable performance in demanding thermal environments, including automotive electronics.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V; impedance specified at 42 mΩ supports low-loss operation.
• Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) is 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, offering predictable dissipation behavior at the rated condition.
• Ripple Current Capability: Supports 998.3 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.49 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), suitable for applications with continuous ripple loading.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 480 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated operating range from −55°C to +135°C with a life specification of 3000 hours at 135°C for prolonged high-temperature use.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with φ12.5 mm diameter, 20 mm length, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), and bulk/bag packing options.
• Qualification: Included rating of AEC-Q200 as provided in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Use in vehicle electronic modules where a 1000 µF, 16 V electrolytic is needed and AEC-Q200-rated components are specified.
• High-temperature systems: Power filtering and energy buffering in equipment exposed to elevated ambient temperatures up to +135°C.
• Power supply decoupling: Bulk smoothing and ripple handling for 16 V rails where compact radial-lead capacitors are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 3000 hours rated life at +135°C, enabling sustained operation in thermally challenging environments.
• AEC-Q200 rating: Provided rating in the specifications supports use where AEC-level component qualification is required.
• Strong ripple handling: Nearly 1 A at 120 Hz and 1.49 A at 10 kHz ripple capability aligns with demanding power-conditioning loads.
• Low impedance: 42 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage drop and heat generation under load.
• Compact radial package: φ12.5 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing offers a space-efficient through-hole solution for PCB power sections.
• Flexible packing: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit assembly and handling preferences.
