UFW1C101MDD

The UFW1C101MDD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UFW series, supplied in a radial lead can package. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with polarized mounting and is specified by the manufacturer for audio equipment applications.

Engineered for board-level power decoupling in audio systems, this component combines a compact φ5×11 form factor, a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of ±20% (–20%~20%).
• Low-loss Performance — tanδ (DF) specified at 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating to characterize dissipation.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 155 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 232.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling handling of AC ripple across common audio frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 48 µA at rated conditions.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Life/endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can with lead spacing of 2.0 mm (±0.5 mm) and a compact size of φ5×11 mm (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm).
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Part of Nichicon's UFW series designated "For Audio Equipment"; suitable where a 100 µF, 16 V radial electrolytic capacitor is required on audio PCBs.
• Audio component boards — Compact radial can format and specified ripple/current characteristics make it applicable to board-level capacitor requirements in audio modules.
• Audio power subsystems — Useful where temperature range (−40 °C to 85 °C) and endurance (2000 h at 85 °C) align with product lifecycle expectations for audio electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused specification — Manufactured as part of the UFW series with explicit "For Audio Equipment" designation in the datasheet.
• Compact radial package — φ5×11 mm can and 2.0 mm lead spacing enable use in space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Documented ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear performance expectations across low and high-frequency conditions.
• Extended operating temperature — −40 °C to 85 °C rating supports a wide range of environmental conditions encountered in consumer and professional audio gear.
• Manufacturing options — Available in bulk and bag packing to suit different assembly and inventory workflows.
