UHV1C122MPD

The UHV1C122MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a nominal capacitance of 1.2 mF (1200 µF) and a rated voltage of 16 V. It is part of Nichicon's UHV series, designed for low impedance and high ripple current in a compact can-style radial package.

Suited for general-purpose electronic circuits, this polarized capacitor delivers high ripple handling, controlled loss (tanδ), and extended endurance for designs that operate across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.2 mF (1200 µF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Loss (tanδ) — tanδ of 0.15 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation in AC/ripple environments.
• Low Impedance — Impedance specified at 57 mΩ, supporting reduced voltage drop under ripple and transient conditions.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 1.158 A at 120 Hz and 1.93 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective ripple handling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 192 µA.
• Durability and Temperature Range — Endurance rated for 6000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial-lead mounting style; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling where a polarized, through-hole capacitor is specified.
• Power modules and supplies — Used in designs that require low impedance and measurable ripple current capacity at both low and high frequencies.
• Industrial and commercial equipment — Fits applications needing long endurance (6000 h at 105°C) and wide operating temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents of 1.158 A (120 Hz) and 1.93 A (100 kHz) allow reliable operation under significant AC stress.
• Reduced impedance: 57 mΩ impedance helps maintain voltage stability across ripple and transient loads.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing supports dense through-hole layouts while delivering 1.2 mF capacitance.
• Extended high-temperature life: 6000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Measured loss characteristics: tanδ = 0.15 at 20°C/120 Hz offers a quantifiable dissipation metric for thermal and stability planning.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directives as indicated in the product data.
