Overview of UHD1C121MED – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 120 µF, 16 V

The UHD1C121MED is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 120 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can. It is designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that require compact through‑hole capacitors with measurable ripple handling and low impedance at higher frequencies.

With a rated temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C and endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C, this part provides a balance of size, electrical performance and reliability for power filtering and decoupling in space‑constrained assemblies.

Key Features

  • Electrical Performance — 120 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance; rated voltage 16 V. Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) is 0.16 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
  • Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 283.5 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 405 mA at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and decoupling under AC ripple conditions.
  • Leakage and Dissipation — Low leakage current specified at 19.2 µA, helping minimize standby losses in DC circuits.
  • Thermal and Endurance — Operating range −40 °C to 105 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C for sustained elevated‑temperature use.
  • Package and Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can with φ6.3 × 11 mm size and 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
  • Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

  • Power filtering and smoothing — Use in compact DC power circuits where 120 µF capacitance and rated 16 V help reduce ripple and stabilize voltage rails.
  • Decoupling for board‑level converters — Suitable for local decoupling near point‑of‑load components where low impedance at higher frequencies and measurable ripple handling are required.
  • General‑purpose electronics — Through‑hole radial format fits a wide range of consumer and industrial assemblies that need polarized electrolytic capacitance in a small footprint.

Unique Advantages

  • Compact through‑hole form factor — φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing offer a small footprint for board designs that require radial mounting.
  • Measurable high‑frequency performance — Lower impedance at higher frequencies (series characteristic) combined with a 405 mA ripple rating at 100 kHz supports effective noise suppression.
  • Controlled leakage and dissipation — Leakage current of 19.2 µA and tanδ of 0.16 (120 Hz, 20 °C) provide predictable behavior for power management designs.
  • Wide operating temperature — Rated from −40 °C to 105 °C to accommodate a range of ambient conditions common in industrial and consumer equipment.
  • Supply flexibility — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to suit assembly and inventory preferences.
  • RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory considerations.

Why Choose UHD1C121MED?
