UFG1C331MPM

The UFG1C331MPM is a high-grade radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, optimized for audio and AV equipment. It delivers 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial-can package designed for through-hole mounting.

Engineered with series-level etching techniques to support improved sonic characteristics, the part is specified to provide richer bass and clearer high end for high-grade audio applications while meeting RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage for common audio power and decoupling circuits.
• Audio-focused Series — Part of Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; series description highlights richer bass register and clearer high-end performance for AV equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole assembly and prototyping.
• Polarized with Defined Tolerance — Polar capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Ripple Handling — Specified ripple current: 309 mA at 120 Hz and 463.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in audio power sections.
• Low-Loss Characteristic — Series-level loss tangent (tan δ) for 16 V is specified (max. 0.16) at 120 Hz, 20 °C, indicating defined dissipation behavior for audio circuits.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical Size — Compact footprint: 1.6 × 1.0 cm (L × D) for space-conscious board layouts.

Typical Applications

• High-grade AV equipment — Used for power smoothing and decoupling in audio amplifiers and preamplifiers where sonic character is a consideration.
• Audio signal coupling/decoupling — Polarized radial can package suited to coupling stages and DC blocking in analog audio paths.
• Power supply filtering — Provides reservoir capacitance and ripple attenuation in low-voltage audio power rails and consumer AV electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused acoustic tuning — Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; series-level design and etching techniques are described as contributing to richer bass and clearer highs.
• Defined thermal endurance — 1000-hour endurance at 85 °C gives designers a measurable reliability baseline for elevated-temperature operation.
• Measured ripple capability — Published ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to assess suitability for power-supply and audio-frequency ripple conditions.
• Compact, through-hole form — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies integration into legacy and mixed-technology PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports designs requiring restricted-substance compliance in target markets.
