UFW1C102MPD

The UFW1C102MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UFW series, specified for audio equipment applications. It delivers 1,000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a polarized can-style package and bulk/bag packaging for high-volume assembly.

This part combines high capacitance, defined ripple-handling capability at both low and high frequencies, and a proven endurance specification for use in audio power and decoupling circuits where reliable smoothing and energy storage are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1,000 µF rated capacitance at 16 V provides substantial bulk energy storage for power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio circuits.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and polarized construction; suitable where polarized electrolytic capacitors are required.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple currents of 770 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 885.5 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle both mains-derived and higher-frequency ripple components.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA for predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• Operating Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for -40°C to +85°C with an endurance of 2,000 hours at 85°C, aligned to long-term operation under elevated temperature conditions.
• Mounting & Package — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting and easy assembly in mass-production workflows.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk energy storage and supply smoothing in amplifiers, preamplifiers, and audio power stages where stable DC rails and low-noise supply behavior are important.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Filtering and decoupling of power rails in consumer and pro-audio electronics to reduce ripple and stabilize regulator outputs.
• Signal Conditioning — Use in circuits that require reliable polarized capacitance for coupling or supply support within the specified temperature and life ratings.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance: 1,000 µF provides robust energy buffering to support transient demands in audio power stages.
• Defined Ripple Capability: Separate ripple specs for 120 Hz (770 mA) and 10 kHz (885.5 mA) give clear guidance for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Predictable Leakage Performance: Specified leakage current enables designers to account for bias and standby behavior accurately.
• Designed for Audio: Part of the UFW series specified for audio equipment, aligning product selection with application intent.
• Durability at Elevated Temperature: 2,000 hours endurance at 85°C supports sustained operation in warmer enclosures or near heat-generating circuitry.
• Manufacturing-Friendly Packaging: Bulk/bag packaging and radial-lead format facilitate high-volume assembly and through-hole mounting processes.
