UFG1C102MHM

The UFG1C102MHM is a 1 mF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, designed for high‑grade audio and AV equipment. It is a radial‑lead, polarized can type capacitor engineered to deliver the acoustic characteristics described by the series—rich bass register and clearer high end—while meeting RoHS requirements.

With a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range and a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, this part targets audio and general‑purpose circuits that require an audio‑tuned electrolytic in a through‑hole package.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1 mF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, suitable for audio coupling, decoupling and smoothing in medium‑voltage audio circuits.
• Acoustic Tuning: Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; specified for richer bass and clearer high end in high‑grade audio/AV applications.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can style package with 5 mm lead spacing and overall dimensions L: 2.5 × D: 1.25 cm, designed for through‑hole PCB mounting.
• Temperature & Reliability: Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C with a guaranteed endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage.
• Ripple Current Performance: Ripple current specified at 723 mA (120 Hz) and 831.5 mA (10 kHz), supporting common audio supply ripple conditions.
• Tolerance & Polarity: Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and polarized construction; intended for DC applications where polarity is observed.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Leakage Current Specified: Leakage current after 1 minute at 20 °C is specified in the UFG series as not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA, whichever is greater.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade AV Equipment: Used for power supply smoothing, coupling and decoupling where the UFG series’ acoustic characteristics contribute to perceived audio quality.
• Audio Equipment: Suited for preamplifiers, filters and analog audio stages that benefit from the series’ stated bass richness and clearer high end.
• General‑Purpose Circuits: Through‑hole radial mounting for prototyping, repair, or designs that prefer can‑style electrolytics for DC smoothing and energy storage.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Electrolytic Design: The "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series is specified to enhance bass presence and high‑end clarity, aligning component selection with audio system goals.
• Through‑Hole Robustness: Radial lead, can packaging with 5 mm lead spacing provides a reliable mechanical and electrical connection for hand‑assembly and repairable designs.
• Documented Endurance: Specified 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage gives a clear reliability expectation for thermal stress conditions.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to match the capacitor to expected supply ripple profiles in audio power rails.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) eases integration into products requiring restricted‑substance conformance.
• Predictable Electricals: Polarized construction with ±20% tolerance and specified leakage current enables straightforward circuit design and margining.
