UHV1C101MDD

The UHV1C101MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHV series, specified at 100 µF with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% capacitance tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require a small, polarized capacitor with robust ripple handling.

As part of the UHV family, this capacitor offers reduced impedance at higher frequencies and increased ripple-current capability, making it suitable where improved high-frequency performance and compact form factor are priorities.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Impedance / High Ripple Handling — UHV series design emphasizes lower impedance at high frequency; this part lists low-frequency ripple current of 144 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 360 mA (100 kHz).
• Leakage & Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 16 µA and tan δ measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (series tan δ max at 16 V is 0.15 as specified for the series).
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a lifetime/endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Mounting & Package — Radial lead configuration in a compact can package (φ5 × 11 mm), lead spacing 2.0 mm with ±0.5 mm tolerance; available in bulk/no terminal forming or bag packing.
• Polarized Design — Polar capacitor suitable for circuits that require polarized electrolytic components.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose circuitry — Intended for general-purpose electronic designs that call for a 100 µF, 16 V polarized radial electrolytic capacitor.
• Power filtering and decoupling — Low impedance characteristics and specified ripple currents support use where AC ripple suppression and decoupling are needed at both low and higher operating frequencies.
• Compact assemblies — Small φ5 × 11 mm can and 2 mm lead spacing enable use in space-constrained radial-leaded PCB layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High-frequency performance: Lower impedance at high frequencies as part of the UHV series, supporting improved stability in circuits with high-frequency components.
• Measured ripple capability: Clear ripple current specifications at 120 Hz (144 mA) and 100 kHz (360 mA) allow designers to match the capacitor to expected ripple loads.
• Compact footprint: φ5 × 11 mm case size and 2 mm lead spacing provide a small, easy-to-place radial package for tight layouts.
• Broad operating range: −40°C to +105°C rating and 5000-hour endurance at 105°C support reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Predictable leakage and loss: Specified leakage current (16 µA) and series tan δ values give measurable parameters for power-loss and leakage budgeting.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS requirements noted in the product data, simplifying regulatory considerations.
