UEP1C102MHD

The UEP1C102MHD is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose electronic assemblies that require reliable capacitance across a wide temperature range. It combines a 1000 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rating in a compact radial can package, offering stable performance for designs exposed to extreme ambient conditions.

Key value propositions include bi‑polar construction for alternating or polarity‑inverted duty, a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, and defined endurance performance at elevated temperature for predictable lifetime behavior.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated capacitance 1000 µF with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design permits operation with polarity inversion and AC coupling in applications needing non‑polar behavior.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified for −55°C to +105°C; lifetime is 1000 hours at 105°C with polarity inverted every 250 hours as described in the endurance specification.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current 605 mA at 120 Hz and 695.8 mA at 10 kHz (product data), with frequency coefficients for higher frequencies per the series specifications.
• Low Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current listed as 480 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) at 16 V is specified with a maximum of 0.20 (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead can, dimensions φ12.5 × 25L mm, lead spacing 5 mm; available in bulk or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance & Production Status — RoHS compliant; part is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering — Use where a 1000 µF, 16 V bi‑polar capacitor is needed for smoothing and decoupling in general electronic circuits.
• General‑purpose AC coupling — Suitable for applications requiring bi‑polar capacitance for AC or polarity‑alternating signal paths within the specified environmental limits.
• General‑purpose assemblies in harsh environments — Applicable to equipment and modules that require operation across −55°C to +105°C with defined high‑temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• Design for wide temperature extremes: Rated from −55°C to +105°C to support applications that experience very low or very high ambient temperatures.
• Bi‑polarized reliability: The bi‑polar construction and specified endurance (1000 hours at 105°C with polarity inversion every 250 hours) support designs that subject capacitors to alternating polarity or periodic inversion.
• Measured ripple capability: Clear ripple current ratings (605 mA at 120 Hz; 695.8 mA at 10 kHz) let designers match capacitor selection to expected AC stress and frequency-dependent load profiles.
• Predictable electrical losses: Specified tan δ (max. 0.20 at 16 V) and leakage current (480 µA) provide verifiable loss and leakage baselines for power budgets and thermal calculations.
• Space‑efficient radial can: φ12.5 × 25L mm package with 5 mm lead spacing balances capacitance density and PCB footprint for compact designs and prototyping.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Environmental compliance and mass production status simplify procurement and lifecycle planning.
