UKA0J101MDD

The UKA0J101MDD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UKA series, offering 100 µF nominal capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact φ5 × 11 mm can. It is specified for audio applications and is part of a family designed with audio‑grade characteristics.

With an operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C, the UKA0J101MDD delivers stable, long‑term performance in compact through‑hole assemblies where polarized capacitance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ max 0.30 at 6.3 V (120 Hz, 20°C), aligned with audio‑grade performance expectations.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low‑frequency ripple current 95 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 142.5 mA at 10 kHz for managing AC stress on power rails.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current 18.9 µA under specified test conditions.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55°C to 105°C and rated for 2000 hours at 105°C with specified post‑test limits for capacitance, tanδ and leakage.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can package (φ5 × 11 mm), radial lead mounting with 2 mm nominal lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 reliability screening for passive components.

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade Audio Equipment — Designed for audio use; electrical characteristics such as low tanδ support consistent performance in audio circuits.
• Audio Power Supplies — Ripple current ratings and compact size suit local smoothing and decoupling on low‑voltage audio rails.
• Compact Consumer Audio Devices — Small φ5 × 11 mm can and radial lead footprint work well where board space is limited and through‑hole mounting is preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑oriented electrical profile: Low tanδ (0.30 at 6.3 V, 120 Hz) supports lower loss in signal‑sensitive audio paths.
• Wide temperature tolerance: −55°C to 105°C operating range enables stable behavior across demanding environmental conditions.
• Defined high‑temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C with post‑test limits provides predictable long‑term performance data for design validation.
• Compact, through‑hole package: φ5 × 11 mm radial can with 2 mm lead spacing minimizes PCB area while supporting conventional assembly methods.
• Measured ripple and low leakage: Rated ripple currents (95 mA @120 Hz, 142.5 mA @10 kHz) and 18.9 µA leakage help manage power‑rail stress and idle losses.
• Reliability screening: AEC‑Q200 qualification offers an added level of passive component reliability verification.
