UKT1A102MPD

The UKT1A102MPD is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. It is designed for audio equipment and similar applications that require bulk capacitance in a compact, through-hole package.

Key value comes from its wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C), defined endurance (1000 hours at 105°C), and measurable ripple and leakage characteristics that support power-supply smoothing and decoupling in audio designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C with a life specification of 1000 hours at 105°C, supporting sustained elevated-temperature use.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 500 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 575 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective filtering across common audio frequencies.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.26 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 300 µA, allowing designers to assess dissipation and standby loss.
• Form Factor — Compact radial can package (φ10 × 16 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole board layouts requiring a small footprint.
• Mounting & Packaging — Radial lead, polarized design supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for standard assembly handling.
• Reliability Rating — Specified with AEC-Q200 rating, reflecting series-level stress qualification relevant to robust design requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supply Smoothing — Provides bulk energy storage and smoothing in audio power rails to reduce ripple and support stable amplifier performance.
• Decoupling in Audio Circuits — Used for decoupling and local supply stabilization in preamps, mixers, and consumer audio devices where through-hole components are preferred.
• Portable and Compact Audio Equipment — Compact φ10 × 16 mm can size fits space-constrained designs that require significant capacitance at low voltage.

Unique Advantages

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to 105°C rating helps maintain capacitance and performance across harsh temperature conditions common in audio equipment deployment.
• Defined High-Temperature Lifetime: 1000 hours at 105°C provides a clear endurance metric for reliability planning and lifecycle assessment.
• Balanced Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both low- and high-frequency ripple suppression in power-supply and signal-chain applications.
• Compact Through-Hole Package: φ10 × 16 mm radial can and 5 mm lead spacing deliver high capacitance in a small, easy-to-handle form factor for prototyping and production PCBs.
• Measurable Loss & Leakage Specs: Published tan δ and leakage current figures allow designers to quantify dissipation and idle current for thermal and power budgeting.
• Series-Level Stress Qualification (AEC-Q200): Inclusion of AEC-Q200 in the series specifications indicates attention to component stress testing useful for robust designs.
