UCA2C100MPD

The UCA2C100MPD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-voltage, high-ripple applications. It combines a compact φ10×16 mm can with a 160 V rating and 10 µF capacitance for space-constrained power designs.

Typical use cases include power supply filtering and ballast circuits where elevated-temperature endurance and ripple handling are required. The part is RoHS compliant and optimized for through-hole assembly with 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Key Features

• Compact Radial Can (φ10×16 mm): Small footprint and can-style package suitable for through-hole boards with 5.0 mm lead spacing.
• Rated Electricals: 10 µF capacitance at 160 V nominal voltage with ±20% tolerance.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current 250 mArms at 105°C/100 kHz and 125 mA at 120 Hz to address demanding ripple conditions.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature: Load-life specification of 10,000 hours at 105°C for the φ10 size.
• Predictable Loss and Leakage: tan δ max 0.15 (120 Hz, 20°C) and measured leakage current 164 µA at 20°C after 1 minute.
• Operating Range and Polarity: Polarized electrolytic rated for operation from −25°C to +105°C.
• Regulatory Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive.
• Product Status: This product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — smoothing, bulk decoupling and ripple suppression on high-voltage rails where a 160 V rated capacitor is required.
• Ballasts and Lighting Control — ripple and energy-storage duties in ballast circuits as called out in the product series documentation.
• Industrial Electronics — general-purpose filtering and energy storage in compact, through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-voltage option: 160 V rating in a φ10×16 mm can provides a high-voltage solution for limited board space.
• Elevated-temperature ripple capability: 250 mArms at 105°C/100 kHz supports designs exposed to sustained thermal and ripple stress.
• Long thermal endurance: 10,000-hour load-life at 105°C for reliable service in high-temperature environments.
• Design predictability: Specified tan δ, leakage current and ±20% capacitance tolerance enable clear electrical margins during design verification.
• Through-hole convenience: Radial lead package with 5.0 mm lead spacing simplifies prototyping and replacement in existing assemblies.
• RoHS conformity: Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally sensitive designs.
