UFW1A102MPD

The UFW1A102MPD is a Nichicon UFW-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for audio equipment applications. It provides 1000 µF of capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm package, delivering bulk energy storage and smoothing for low-voltage audio power rails.

Engineered with high and low frequency ripple handling and a -40 °C to 85 °C operating range, this radial radial-mount capacitor is suited to PCB-level power filtering and decoupling where compact size and dependable endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, optimized for bulk filtering and energy storage on low-voltage audio rails.
• Rated Voltage — 10 VDC rating for low-voltage power systems and audio power supply rails.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current: 630 mA at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current: 724.5 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency switching noise attenuation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 300 µA to help maintain low standby losses in powered audio circuitry.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated life of 2000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C for sustained performance under elevated ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ10 × 12.5 mm (L), lead spacing 5.0 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance, suitable for through-hole PCB mounting and manual or automated insertion processes.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to support prototyping and production handling preferences.
• Series — Nichicon UFW series, standard parts intended for audio equipment applications.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and energy storage for low-voltage amplifier rails, improving transient response and reducing supply ripple.
• Audio Signal Power Conditioning — Decoupling and local energy buffering for preamplifiers, DAC/ADC power domains, and other audio modules.
• Consumer & Pro Audio Equipment — General purpose power filtering in compact audio devices where radial through-hole mounting is required.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance in a Compact Can — 1000 µF in a φ10 × 12.5 mm package provides substantial energy storage while minimizing board area.
• Broad Ripple Handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable effective performance across low- and high-frequency noise environments common in audio systems.
• Designed for Elevated Temperatures — 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C offers predictable lifecycle performance in warm operating conditions.
• Simplified Through-Hole Integration — Radial leads with a 5.0 mm pitch and standard can form factor streamline PCB layout and assembly for legacy and repairable designs.
• Flexible Packaging — Bulk and bag options accommodate low-volume prototyping and higher-volume handling preferences.
