UKA1A102MPD

The UKA1A102MPD is a radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKA series, specified for audio applications and mass production use. It combines high capacitance (1000 µF) with a compact can-style radial package and is intended for applications that require wide temperature operation and defined endurance.

Key electrical characteristics include a rated voltage of 10 V, a tanδ (DF) of 0.26 at 20°C/120 Hz, low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C. The part is AEC‑Q200 rated and specified for operation from –55°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and tolerance — 1000 µF (1 mF) with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling.
• Rated voltage and dielectric loss — 10 V rated voltage with tanδ (DF) 0.26 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 500 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 575 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both power supply filtering and higher-frequency ripple environments.
• Leakage and endurance — Leakage current 300 µA and specified endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined capacitance and tanδ limits after the test.
• Wide temperature range — Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C, suitable for demanding thermal environments.
• Compact radial package — Can-style radial lead construction, size φ10 × 16 L (L: 1.6 cm × D: 1.0 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC‑Q200 rated for use where enhanced qualification is required.

Typical Applications

• High-grade audio equipment — Bulk filtering, power supply smoothing and decoupling in audio amplifiers and preamplifiers where low distortion and stable operation over temperature are required.
• Power supply modules — Energy storage and ripple suppression in DC power rails for consumer and professional electronics.
• Automotive audio systems — Filter and smoothing capacitor in audio subsystems where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required and wide temperature operation is demanded.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can — 1000 µF in a φ10×16 package offers significant energy density for through-hole designs with limited board area.
• Measured AC performance — Specified tanδ at 120 Hz and frequency-dependent ripple current ratings provide verifiable performance data for audio and power applications.
• Wide operating temperature and proven endurance — –55°C to +105°C rating and 2000 hours at 105°C endurance support long-term reliability in thermally challenging environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating adds a level of qualification useful for applications requiring higher reliability standards.
• Straightforward assembly — Radial lead format with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options simplifies through-hole mounting and inventory handling.
