Overview of UKL1C100MDD – Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 10 µF, 16 V, Radial Lead
The UKL1C100MDD is a Nichicon UKL series aluminum electrolytic capacitor configured as a radial-lead, polarized can (φ5 × 11L) rated for 10 µF at 16 V. It is part of Nichicon’s standard low‑leakage UKL family and is RoHS compliant.
Designed for compact through‑hole designs, the part offers low leakage (0.32 µA), controlled dissipation factor (tanδ = 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and defined ripple current capability for both low and high frequency use. Rated endurance is 2000 hours at 85°C.
Key Features
- Low Leakage Current: Leakage current specified at 0.32 µA, supporting circuits that require minimal leakage over time.
- Electrical Characteristics: 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V; polarized construction for DC decoupling and filtering.
- Dissipation Factor (tanδ): tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable loss characteristics in analog and power circuits.
- Ripple Current Capability: Low‑frequency ripple current 55 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 110 mA at 10 kHz for handling AC stress across a range of frequencies.
- Environment and Endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to 85°C with 2000 hours rated life at 85°C.
- Compact Radial Package: φ5 × 11 mm can with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies; available in bulk or bag packing.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant per the product description and datasheet extract.
- Status: End Of Life — product availability is limited and it is indicated as scheduled for discontinuation in the series documentation.
Typical Applications
- Audio circuitry: Suitable for use in audio modules where low leakage and controlled dissipation factor support clean signal coupling, decoupling, and power supply smoothing.
- Consumer electronics (through‑hole assemblies): Compact radial form factor for legacy or repair applications requiring a small polarized electrolytic component.
- Analog power filtering: Decoupling and smoothing in low‑voltage DC circuits that benefit from defined ripple handling and low leakage.
Unique Advantages
- Predictable loss behavior: Specified tanδ (0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) provides designers with a measurable dissipation value for stability in analog and power applications.
- Frequency‑aware ripple ratings: Separate ripple current figures for low and high frequencies (55 mA @120 Hz; 110 mA @10 kHz) let engineers size components according to signal environment.
- Compact, serviceable package: φ5 × 11 mm radial can with 2 mm lead spacing fits space‑constrained through‑hole boards and repair/retrofit scenarios.
- Extended endurance spec: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C, enabling predictable life performance in temperature‑controlled environments.
- Low leakage series pedigree: Part of Nichicon’s UKL low‑leakage family, useful where minimal leakage current is needed for long‑term circuit integrity.
Why Choose UKL1C100MDD?
UKL1C100MDD is positioned as a compact, low‑leakage aluminum electrolytic solution for through‑hole audio and analog applications that require defined dissipation, controlled ripple handling, and a small radial package. Its specified leakage current, tanδ, and frequency‑dependent ripple ratings provide measurable parameters for engineering tradeoffs in power filtering and signal circuits.
Given its 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C and RoHS compliance, the part is appropriate for repair, maintenance, and legacy designs where these specific electrical and mechanical characteristics match system requirements. Note that the product is listed as End Of Life in the series documentation and is not recommended for new designs due to scheduled discontinuation.
