UKA1C102MPD

The UKA1C102MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is part of Nichicon's UKA series aimed at high-grade audio equipment and similar applications that require stable bulk capacitance and reliable ripple handling.

Designed for through-hole assemblies, the UKA1C102MPD combines a compact φ10 × 16 mm can with a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding power-filtering and audio power-rail applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Polarized Radial Package — Radial, can-style package (φ10 × 16L) with 5 mm lead spacing and 0.5 mm lead spacing tolerance for straightforward through-hole placement.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C with a life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Dissipation Factor — tanδ = 0.22 (max) measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting low-loss performance for audio-focused circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA for predictable standby and idle behavior in DC circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 560 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 644 mA at 10 kHz to support both power-supply smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling.
• Qualification & Status — AEC-Q200 rated and listed as mass production; available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag packing.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio equipment — Bulk power filtering and supply decoupling where low dissipation factor and stable capacitance are important for clean audio rails.
• Power supply smoothing — Energy storage and ripple attenuation in DC power rails up to 16 V, leveraging the specified ripple-current ratings.
• Analog signal circuits — Stable performance across −55°C to 105°C for analog front ends and signal-processing modules that require reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Wide thermal capability: −55°C to 105°C operation supports designs exposed to broad temperature extremes.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides durability for sustained thermal stress conditions.
• Measured audio performance: Low tanδ (0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and 1000 µF capacitance align with requirements for high‑grade audio power stages.
• Designed for ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (560 mA @120 Hz, 644 mA @10 kHz) support mixed-frequency filtering needs.
• Automotive-qualified rating: AEC-Q200 listing offers an additional qualification layer for demanding system requirements.
• Compact through-hole form factor: φ10 × 16 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing simplify PCB layout for compact, serviceable designs.
