UCS2C101MHD6

The UCS2C101MHD6 from Nichicon is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for power filtering and general purpose applications. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V in a compact φ16 × 20 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for sustained performance, this UCS series part combines high ripple current capability and long endurance (10,000 hours at 105°C) to support continuous operation in demanding power supply and ballast environments while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance, rated for 160 V DC; capacitance tolerance is −20% to +20%.
• High ripple current capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 710 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.42 A (100 kHz) to handle power supply smoothing and high‑frequency decoupling.
• Dielectric loss — tan δ (DF) 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating stable loss characteristics for this rated voltage.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 740 µA after 1 minute at 20°C, suitable for general purpose circuits requiring controlled leakage.
• Long endurance — Life rating of 10,000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions for extended operational reliability.
• Compact radial package — Can dimensions φ16 × 20 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (lead diameter φ0.8 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies.
• Environmental compliance & availability — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) / bag packing and currently in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power supplies — Bulk and output filtering where high ripple current handling and long life at elevated temperatures are required.
• Ballasts and lighting power circuits — Sustained operation under continuous load with the endurance and ripple specifications of the UCS series.
• Industrial electronics — General‑purpose energy storage and smoothing in compact, through‑hole board designs that need reliable performance up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for high ripple environments: Rated ripple currents of 710 mA (120 Hz) and 1.42 A (100 kHz) enable effective filtering in both low‑ and high‑frequency power domains.
• Extended operational life: 10,000‑hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable longevity for continuous‑duty applications.
• Predictable dielectric behavior: tan δ of 0.20 at 20°C/120 Hz gives clear, verifiable loss characteristics for design margin calculations.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ16 × 20 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement and replacement in through‑hole assemblies.
• Controlled leakage: Specified leakage current (740 µA) supports power designs that require bounded off‑state current.
• Compliance and sourcing: RoHS compliance and mass production status support regulatory and supply continuity needs.
