UES1A102MHM

The UES1A102MHM is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and audio signal circuits. It delivers a 1000 µF capacitance in a compact radial-can package, optimized for low-loss performance in audio applications.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a 10 V rating, tanδ 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), a -40°C to 85°C operating range, and a 1000-hour endurance at 85°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Bi‑polar construction — Specifically designed for audio signal use, enabling AC-coupled or signal-path applications without polarity constraints.
• High capacitance — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance for effective energy storage and smoothing in audio circuits.
• Low dissipation factor — tanδ 0.16 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting low-loss signal handling in audio-frequency applications.
• Rated voltage and leakage — 10 V rated with a specified leakage current of 300 µA, suitable for typical low-voltage audio circuitry.
• Endurance and reliability — Rated for 1000 hours at 85°C (endurance test condition), with recovery to specified values after stress per datasheet conditions.
• Radial lead package — φ16×25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies and prototyping.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as stated in the product data.
• Packaging options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or prototyping handling preferences.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — For use in audio signal circuits where bi‑polar behavior and high capacitance are required.
• Audio signal coupling/decoupling — Provides stable coupling and decoupling in audio paths thanks to its 1000 µF value and low tanδ at 120 Hz.
• Prototyping and assembly — Radial lead format and bulk/bag packaging support through‑hole assembly and manual or automated handling.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio signal integrity — Bi‑polar construction and low dissipation factor help maintain signal fidelity in audio circuits.
• Substantial capacitance in a compact can — 1000 µF in a φ16×25 mm package provides high energy storage without large board area.
• Measured performance at audio frequency — tanδ specified at 120 Hz and 20°C (0.16) gives a directly relevant loss metric for audio designers.
• Thermal endurance — Qualified for 1000 hours at 85°C under the specified endurance test conditions, supporting reliability in elevated operating environments.
• Through‑hole mounting simplicity — Radial lead configuration with defined lead spacing (7.5 mm ±0.5 mm) simplifies PCB layout and assembly for legacy and discrete designs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports designs targeting regulated markets.
