UFG1K100MEM

The UFG1K100MEM is a high-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, engineered specifically for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a polarized, radial-lead, can-style capacitor designed to deliver audio-focused performance using Nichicon’s etching techniques for improved sonic character.

Targeted at audio signal and power stages, the UFG1K100MEM combines a 10 µF capacitance with an 80 V rating, RoHS compliance, and temperature endurance to meet the needs of professional and consumer AV designs that require reliable, audio-optimized passive components.

Key Features

• Audio-focused Construction — Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series with etching techniques intended to deliver rich bass and clearer high end in AV applications.
• Electrical Characteristics — 10 µF capacitance at an 80 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction suitable for typical audio circuit topologies.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 55 mA at 120 Hz and 110 mA at 10 kHz to support both low-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency filtering tasks.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) for through-hole PCB implementations.
• Marking & Compliance — Printed marking on a gold sleeve and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity AV receivers — Used for power supply smoothing and decoupling where audio character and stable filtering are required.
• Pre-amplifiers and signal stages — Employed for coupling and bypass tasks in signal paths that benefit from the MUSE series acoustic characteristics.
• Professional audio equipment — Suitable for pro-audio electronics that require polarized electrolytic capacitors with defined ripple handling and temperature endurance.
• Consumer AV gear — Applied in amplifiers and other AV subsystems to support clear high-end reproduction and reinforced low-frequency response.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for audio quality: The MUSE "Fine Gold" acoustic series construction targets audible improvements—rich bass and clearer highs—aligned with high-grade AV designs.
• Voltage headroom: 80 V rating provides margin for higher-voltage sections within audio power rails and signal circuits.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz addresses requirements for low-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency filtration in the same component.
• Compact radial package: Small radial can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable straightforward through-hole mounting in dense PCB layouts.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 1000-hour endurance at 85 °C supports prolonged operation in warm environments common to AV electronics.
• RoHS compliant: Meets 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
