UFW2A102MHD

The UFW2A102MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, optimized for audio equipment. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with a compact φ18 × 40 mm package and a radial mounting footprint.

Designed for applications that require significant bulk capacitance, the UFW2A102MHD combines a low dissipation factor, defined ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C to support reliable performance in audio systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF rated capacitance at 100 V for high-energy storage needs.
• Loss Characteristics: Low tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.08 measured at 20 °C and 120 Hz, supporting efficient operation in AC-coupled circuits.
• Ripple-Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current of 1.37 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.575 A (10 kHz) for handling both power-supply and higher-frequency ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 3000 µA, providing predictable leakage behavior under rated conditions.
• Endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C with capacitance change within ±20% and controlled tanδ and leakage after endurance testing.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Radial lead can (φ18 × 40 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production and prototyping workflows.
• Polarized Device: Polarized electrolytic construction for DC energy-storage applications.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Suited for general use in audio equipment where 1000 µF at 100 V and controlled dissipation are required.
• Audio Power Supplies — Provides bulk capacitance and defined ripple-current handling to support audio power rail stability.
• Signal and Power Stage Support — Appropriate where a polarized, high-capacitance radial can is needed within the -40 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage, high-capacitance support: 1000 µF at 100 V offers substantial energy storage for demanding audio circuits.
• Low dissipation factor: tanδ of 0.08 (120 Hz, 20 °C) helps minimize AC loss in signal-path and filter applications.
• Defined ripple performance across frequencies: Rated ripple currents of 1.37 A (120 Hz) and 1.575 A (10 kHz) give predictable thermal and electrical behavior under varying ripple conditions.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours life at 85 °C provides a quantifiable reliability metric for design planning.
• Compact radial can footprint: φ18 × 40 mm size with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole layout and replacement designs.
• Production-ready availability: Product status listed as mass production with bulk and bag packaging options to match procurement needs.
