UFW2A100MED

The UFW2A100MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFW series, targeted at audio equipment applications. It provides 10 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with polarized radial leads and 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for applications that require compact high-voltage filtering and decoupling, this part balances small footprint, controlled leakage, and defined ripple performance across low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 100 V rated voltage, suitable where higher-voltage decoupling is required.
• Ripple & Leakage — Rated ripple handling of 75 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 150 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), with a specified leakage current of 30 µA.
• Reliability & Endurance — Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C; after the endurance test, capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current remains within specified limits.
• Temperature Range — Operating temperature range from −40°C to +85°C to support a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Compact radial can package (φ6.3 × 11 mm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting; supplied in bulk/bag packaging.
• Audio-Focused Series — Part of the UFW series, specified as “Standard, For Audio Equipment,” reflecting series-level design intent for audio applications.

Typical Applications

• Audio Amplifiers — Bulk decoupling and power-supply smoothing in amplifier stages where compact, high-voltage capacitors are required.
• Audio Signal Equipment — Power filtering and local energy storage for mixers, preamplifiers, and other audio processing gear.
• High-Voltage PCB Designs — Local decoupling on boards that require higher working voltage in a small radial-can footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rails common in some audio and power circuits.
• Compact radial can: φ6.3 × 11 mm size and 2.5 mm lead spacing allow placement in space-constrained designs without sacrificing voltage rating.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low (75 mA @120 Hz) and high (150 mA @10 kHz) frequencies help predict thermal and AC performance in supply and audio signal paths.
• Low leakage: 30 µA leakage current supports stable biasing and minimizes DC drift in sensitive audio circuits.
• Durability for audio applications: 2000 hours endurance at 85°C provides a quantified lifecycle reference for thermal-stressed deployments.
