UES1C101MPM

The UES1C101MPM is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UES "MUSE" acoustic series, designed specifically for audio signal circuits. With a 100 µF capacitance and 16 V rating in a compact radial‑lead can, it delivers the electrical characteristics and packaging suited to audio equipment and other signal‑stage applications.

Its specification set — including bi‑polar polarization, RoHS compliance, and a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range — makes it a practical choice for designers needing a purpose‑built audio capacitor in a radial lead form factor.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polarized Electrolytic Bi‑polar construction intended for audio signal circuits, allowing use where polarity may reverse in signal paths.
• Electrical Rating 100 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for signal and coupling/decoupling roles in audio designs.
• Low Loss Characteristics tan δ specified at 0.16 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C for 16 V), supporting stable performance in audio frequency ranges.
• Leakage and Endurance Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20 °C; endurance validated for 1000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion testing, with capacitance change within ±20% after test.
• Package and Mounting Radial lead, can‑style package with 5 mm lead spacing and a compact footprint (approximately 10 × 12.5 mm case size), enabling straightforward through‑hole PCB mounting.
• Temperature Range Rated for operation from -40 °C to +85 °C, matching typical environmental needs for consumer and pro audio equipment.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for lead‑free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment Designed for use in audio signal circuits within consumer and professional audio devices where bi‑polarized capacitors are required.
• Signal Path Components Suitable for signal‑stage components in amplifiers, preamplifiers and other audio subsystems that benefit from MUSE acoustic series characteristics.
• Audio OEM Assemblies Can be used by OEMs integrating radial‑lead audio capacitors into through‑hole PCBs for reliable signal performance.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Design: Part of Nichicon’s MUSE acoustic series and explicitly suited for audio signal circuits, providing component selection aligned to audio applications.
• Bi‑Polar Construction: Eliminates polarity constraints in signal paths, simplifying design choices for AC‑handling audio circuits.
• Compact Radial Package: 10 × 12.5 mm case with 5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint and proven through‑hole mounting for robust mechanical retention.
• Measured Electrical Performance: Specified tan δ and leakage limits (0.16 and 0.03CV µA respectively) support predictable behavior in audio frequency domains.
• Endurance Validation: Endurance defined at 1000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion provides documented reliability information for thermal and life‑test planning.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity eases integration into lead‑free product lines and regulated markets.
