UHE1C122MPD

The UHE1C122MPD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHE high-reliability series. It delivers 1200 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 25 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose electronic circuits requiring extended lifetime and robust ripple handling.

Key value comes from low impedance, specified high-frequency and low-frequency ripple current capability, and long life at elevated temperature (7000 hours at 105°C), making it suitable for designs where sustained performance and reliability are required.

Key Features

• Core Electrical 1200 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 16 V rated voltage; polarization is specified for typical electrolytic use.
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling Low impedance (170 mΩ) with low-frequency ripple current of 1.32 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.65 A (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under varying ripple conditions.
• Reliability & Endurance Long-life specification: 7000 hours endurance at 105°C (for 16 V rated parts), with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after the endurance test.
• Thermal Range Rated operating temperature from −40°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead, can-style package sized φ10 × 25L with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Loss Characteristics Specified tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz (with applicable device adjustments for capacitance >1000 µF noted in the series datasheet).
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Provides 1200 µF at 16 V with low impedance and defined ripple handling for smoothing and filtering tasks in general-purpose circuits.
• General-purpose decoupling and energy buffering — Compact radial-lead can suitable for through-hole assemblies where bulk capacitance and ripple endurance are required.
• General-purpose assemblies in varied environments — Wide operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and long-life rating support deployment in long-duration, temperature-varying applications labeled as general purpose.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.32 A (120 Hz) and 1.65 A (10 kHz) allow reliable performance under both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 170 mΩ impedance supports tighter voltage regulation and reduced heat generation in filtering applications.
• Extended high-temperature life: Endurance specified at 7000 hours at 105°C for 16 V parts provides predictable long-term behavior under thermal stress.
• Compact radial package: φ10 × 25 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides bulk capacitance in a small footprint for through-hole designs.
• Clear loss and leakage specifications: Defined tan δ (0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current limits enable predictable AC and DC performance.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assemblies.
