Overview of UCA2C101MHD6 – Miniature, High Ripple Current, Long-Life Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UCA2C101MHD6 is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can package offering 100 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. It is engineered for applications that require high ripple-current handling and extended operational life in a compact radial form factor.
Key design attributes include high ripple current capability (590 mA at 120 Hz / 1.18 A at 100 kHz), long endurance (12,000 hours at 105°C), and a temperature range of −25°C to 105°C. Note: this product is listed with end-of-life status.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Rated Voltage — 160 V DC nominal rating suited to mid‑voltage circuits.
- High Ripple Current — 590 mA at 120 Hz and 1.18 A at 100 kHz for improved ripple-handling in power applications.
- Long Life Endurance — 12,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, supporting prolonged operation in elevated-temperature environments.
- Leakage Current — 740 µA (specified leakage current value under product data).
- Compact Radial Can Package — φ18 × 20 mm can with radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); bulk / bag packing with no terminal forming.
- Operating Temperature — −25°C to +105°C for a broad range of industrial and commercial environments.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as provided in product data.
Typical Applications
- Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and ripple smoothing in 160 V-rated power rails where high ripple current capability is required.
- Ballasts — Designed for use in ballast circuits as indicated in the product series documentation.
- General-Purpose Industrial Electronics — Filtering, decoupling, and energy storage in compact radial-lead implementations.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-current capacity: Specified 590 mA (120 Hz) and 1.18 A (100 kHz) ratings reduce thermal stress and improve performance in ripple-intensive designs.
- Extended shelf and operating life: 12,000 hours endurance at 105°C offers predictable long-term behavior under rated conditions.
- Compact, board-friendly package: φ18×20 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for space-constrained layouts.
- Wide operating temperature window: −25°C to +105°C supports deployment across varied environmental conditions.
- RoHS compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for restricted substances as stated in the product data.
Why Choose UCA2C101MHD6?
UCA2C101MHD6 targets designers who need a compact, radial-lead electrolytic capacitor that balances high ripple-current capability with long-term endurance at elevated temperatures. Its 160 V rating, 100 µF capacitance, and verified ripple specifications make it a practical choice for power-supply filtering and ballast applications where sustained performance is required.
This capacitor is suitable for production and maintenance programs that require components with specified leakage, ripple, and life characteristics; availability should be confirmed due to the product's end-of-life status.
