UHD1C102MPD

The UHD1C102MPD from Nichicon is a radial‑lead, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UHD series, rated 16 V with 1000 µF capacitance. Designed for general‑purpose electronic designs, it delivers high ripple current capability and lower impedance across high frequency ranges.

Key value comes from its compact φ10×20 mm can, wide operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C, and long endurance rating (4000 hours at 105°C), making it suitable for power filtering and decoupling in a variety of assemblies where space and thermal performance matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• High ripple current capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 1.365 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.82 A (100 kHz), supporting demanding power‑handling use cases.
• Low impedance at high frequency: UHD series characteristic of reduced impedance in the high‑frequency range for improved filtering performance.
• Reliability and endurance: Life/Endurance rating of 4000 hours at 105°C under the specified DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Electrical characteristics: tan δ (DF) = 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 160 µA.
• Package and mounting: Radial lead, polarized can (φ10×20 mm) with 5.0 mm lead spacing; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C for use across harsh ambient conditions.
• Regulatory status: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power filtering: Bulk capacitance and high ripple ratings make the UHD1C102MPD suitable for smoothing and energy storage on 16 V power rails.
• Decoupling and rail stabilization: Low impedance at higher frequencies helps stabilize DC rails in compact assemblies.
• Embedded power modules: Compact φ10×20 mm package and radial mounting fit into space‑constrained power supply and control modules.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Measured ripple currents up to 1.82 A at 100 kHz reduce heating and extend service life in high‑frequency applications.
• Low high‑frequency impedance: UHD series design delivers better filtering performance where HF ripple is present.
• Compact, serviceable package: φ10×20 mm radial can provides significant capacitance in a small footprint for denser PCB layouts.
• Extended endurance at elevated temperature: 4000 hours at 105°C supports sustained operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Clear electrical specifications: Defined tan δ (0.16) and leakage current (160 µA) measurements allow predictable design margins.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
