UHE1C102MPD

The UHE1C102MPD from Nichicon is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UHE high-reliability series. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose electronics, the part delivers long operating life and dependable ripple handling for power filtering, decoupling and smoothing tasks in embedded and industrial designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) for controlled dissipation in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Low Impedance — Impedance specified at 180 mΩ to support stable performance under load.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 1.05 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.4 A at 10 kHz for effective ripple filtering across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Maximum leakage current of 160 µA after application of rated voltage (20°C), supporting predictable bias behavior.
• Long Endurance — Rated life of 7000 hours at 105°C (for 16 V units), offering extended service in elevated-temperature environments.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Compact Radial Can — Package size φ10 × 20 mm, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and smoothing capacitor for DC power rails where 16 V rating and 1000 µF capacitance reduce voltage ripple and stabilize supply lines.
• DC–DC Converter Output — Output decoupling and ripple attenuation in compact converters that require high ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Industrial Controls — Local energy reservoir and decoupling in control circuits operating across −40°C to +105°C with long-life expectations.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Use in embedded devices and consumer equipment where a compact, reliable radial aluminum electrolytic is required for power conditioning.

Unique Advantages

• Sustained high-temperature performance: 7000 hours rated life at 105°C (16 V units) provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature applications.
• Wide ripple-frequency capability: Measured ripple currents of 1.05 A (120 Hz) and 1.4 A (10 kHz) allow the capacitor to perform across mains-frequency and switching-frequency conditions.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 20 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing delivers a small form factor for space-constrained PCBs while retaining substantial capacitance.
• Low leakage and dissipation: 160 µA maximum leakage and tanδ of 0.16 at 120 Hz help maintain bias stability and limit internal losses.
• Predictable impedance: Specified impedance of 180 mΩ aids designers in calculating ESR-related voltage drop and thermal effects.
• RoHS compliant and mass-produced: Availability in bulk/bag packaging and RoHS compliance support production-scale procurement and environmental requirements.
