UES1C100MDM

The UES1C100MDM is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UES series, engineered for audio equipment and audio signal circuits. It provides 10 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial lead can (φ5×11 mm) suitable for PCB mounting with 2 mm lead spacing.

Key electrical characteristics include a tanδ (DF) of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), low leakage current (4.8 µA), a wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, and 1000 hours endurance at 85°C. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Bi‑polarized design Allows AC‑coupling and audio signal use without a fixed polarity, ideal for balanced and coupling circuits in audio paths.
• Audio‑focused electrical performance 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and tanδ of 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) for stable signal behavior in audio applications.
• Low leakage current Specified leakage of 4.8 µA which supports low‑noise and low‑bias drift in signal circuits.
• Compact radial can package Small footprint (φ5×11 mm) with 2 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for straightforward through‑hole PCB assembly.
• Thermal and lifetime rating Rated for operation from −40°C to 85°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85°C (polarity inversion per endurance test).
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.
• Packaging options Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Audio signal circuits — AC coupling and decoupling in preamplifiers, tone controls and other signal chain stages where bi‑polarized operation is required.
• Balanced audio paths — Use in circuits that pass bipolar audio waveforms without a defined DC polarity.
• Compact consumer audio devices — Small can size makes it suitable for space‑constrained audio equipment where through‑hole components are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polarized flexibility — Eliminates polarity constraints for AC audio signals, simplifying circuit design for coupling and balanced paths.
• Audio‑oriented loss characteristics — tanδ of 0.16 at 16 V (20°C, 120 Hz) supports consistent frequency response in audio applications.
• Low leakage for cleaner signals — 4.8 µA leakage current reduces DC offset and noise risk in sensitive signal stages.
• Small footprint, through‑hole convenience — φ5×11 mm radial can with 2 mm lead spacing offers compact placement and reliable mechanical mounting.
• Designed endurance — 1000 hours at 85°C endurance rating provides predictable lifetime behavior under elevated temperatures.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental considerations.

Why Choose UES1C100MDM?

UES1C100MDM is positioned for designers who need a compact, bi‑polarized electrolytic solution tailored to audio signal circuits. Its combination of low leakage, specified loss tangent, and small radial can package makes it suitable for through‑hole audio designs where maintaining signal integrity and a compact layout are priorities.

This part is appropriate for engineering teams and procurement sourcing components for consumer and professional audio equipment that require verified endurance (1000 h at 85°C) and RoHS compliance. Note the product status is End Of Life, which should be considered for long‑term production planning.
