UKL1A102KHD

The UKL1A102KHD is a Nichicon UKL series aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for low leakage current in through‑hole, radial‑lead form. With 1000 µF capacitance at 10 V and a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm can, it is intended for audio and related low‑voltage power‑smoothing applications where low standby drain and reliable ripple handling are important.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±10% tolerance at a rated voltage of 10 V, providing bulk energy storage for low‑voltage rails.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 20 µA, supporting lower standby current and improved bias stability in sensitive circuits.
• Ripple Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current of 810 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 931.5 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing of both power supply and higher‑frequency switching noise.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C, suitable for typical commercial and consumer environments.
• Radial Lead, Polarized Package — Through‑hole radial lead construction with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and standard can packaging (φ12.5 × 20 mm) for easy board placement and robust mechanical mounting.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for reduced hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• Audio power supply decoupling — Bulk smoothing for amplifier supply rails where 1000 µF at 10 V and low leakage help maintain stable bias and reduce hum.
• Preamp and signal chain support — Local reservoir capacitance for low‑voltage audio circuitry to preserve signal integrity and reduce power‑rail ripple.
• Consumer electronics power filtering — General DC rail smoothing in compact, through‑hole designs that require reliable ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low standby current: 20 µA leakage minimizes drain on powered circuits, beneficial for battery‑sensitive audio and portable equipment.
• Compact energy density: 1000 µF in a φ12.5 × 20 mm can provides significant capacitance in a small footprint for space‑constrained boards.
• Broad ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies address smoothing needs across transformer‑supplied and switching regulator outputs.
• Through‑hole robustness: Radial lead construction with defined 5 mm lead spacing supports reliable soldering and mechanical retention in assembled boards.
• Validated endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C gives a measurable reliability baseline for thermal and lifetime planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance aligns with modern materials requirements for commercial products.
