UHW1C102MPD6

The UHW1C102MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UHW series, offering 1000 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ8×20 mm can. Designed for general-purpose power applications, this capacitor delivers high ripple-current capability and reduced impedance across higher frequencies for improved filtering and bulk energy storage.

With a rated temperature range of –40°C to +105°C and a 10,000-hour endurance at 105°C, the UHW1C102MPD6 targets designs that require long-term stability and reliable performance in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 1.176 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.96 A (10 kHz) to support switching supplies and high-density power rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 120 mΩ and series design goals for lower impedance at high frequency ranges, improving decoupling and transient response.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ (DF) of 0.15 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, with clear DF specs for performance verification.
• Leakage & Reliability — Leakage current 160 µA and endurance rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C under specified bias and ripple conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8×20 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial-lead mounting for through-hole assemblies; available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for –40°C to +105°C for broader environmental use.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering where high ripple current and low impedance at higher frequencies improve regulation and reduce ripple.
• DC-DC Converters — Input/output decoupling for converters and regulators that require compact, high-capacitance components with strong ripple handling.
• Industrial Control Electronics — Power rail stabilization in industrial controllers and motor drive electronics operating across wide temperature ranges.
• Consumer Power Modules — Energy storage and smoothing in compact consumer power assemblies where board space and thermal endurance are considerations.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (1.176 A at 120 Hz, 1.96 A at 10 kHz) enable reliable performance in switching and high-frequency environments.
• Compact footprint: φ8×20 mm can minimizes board area while delivering 1000 µF of capacitance for space-constrained designs.
• Long-term endurance: 10,000-hour life at 105°C supports sustained operation in thermally demanding applications.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Low impedance (120 mΩ) and specified tanδ facilitate accurate simulation and design margining for filters and decoupling networks.
• Through-hole mounting simplicity: Radial-lead format with defined lead spacing (3.5 mm ±0.5 mm) makes the part straightforward to incorporate into through-hole assemblies and prototyping.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental and supply-chain requirements.
