UES1C102MHM

The UES1C102MHM is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's MUSE acoustic series designed for audio signal circuits. It provides 1000 μF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial can package, optimized for use in audio equipment and signal‑path applications.

Key mechanical and reliability attributes include radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing, a compact footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm), an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion during the test.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polarized Audio Design Bi‑polar construction tailored for audio signal circuits and acoustic applications within the Nichicon MUSE series.
• Capacitance & Voltage 1000 μF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with a tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Package & Mounting Radial can package with radial lead mounting and 7.5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole PCB implementation; physical size L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage Specified loss tangent (tan δ) ≤ 0.16 at 120 Hz, 20 °C (16 V rating) and a part‑level leakage current of approximately 480 μA (measured at 20 °C after 1 minute for this part).
• Temperature & Endurance Rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operating range with endurance validated to 1000 hours at 85 °C (with polarity inversion every 250 hours) per product specification.
• Regulatory Compliance Compliant to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Signal Paths Designed for coupling, decoupling, and signal conditioning in audio circuits where bi‑polar behavior is required.
• Hi‑Fi and Consumer Audio Equipment Suited to use in preamplifiers, mixers, and other consumer or professional audio modules that require stable audio‑grade electrolytic capacitance.
• Acoustic and Music Electronics Applicable in devices within the Nichicon MUSE acoustic series portfolio where acoustic performance and audio fidelity are priorities.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar construction for AC coupling: Enables use in audio signal circuits without a fixed polarity, simplifying AC‑coupled designs.
• Large capacitance in a compact package: 1000 μF in a 2.5 × 1.6 cm can offers significant energy storage while minimizing board area for through‑hole implementations.
• Measured electrical performance: tan δ ≤ 0.16 at 120 Hz and a defined leakage specification (≈480 μA for this part) support predictable behavior in audio circuitry.
• Designed for endurance: Endurance tested for 1000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion, providing validated lifetime data for reliability planning.
• RoHS compliant: Meets applicable RoHS directives for environmental regulatory requirements.
• Industry‑focused acoustic series: Part of Nichicon’s MUSE acoustic lineup, explicitly positioned for audio applications.
