UKT1E101MED

The UKT1E101MED is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UKT series, packaged in a radial-lead can and optimized for audio applications. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with polarized radial leads and compact dimensions (φ6.3 × 11 mm).

Designed for general audio equipment and systems that require stable performance across a wide temperature range, the part combines long endurance, controlled dissipation factor, and measurable ripple-handling capability for reliable power-path and decoupling use in audio circuits.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF at 25 V with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified to operate from −55°C to 105°C for reliable performance in varied environments.
• Endurance — Life rating of 1000 hours at 105°C, meeting the UKT series endurance conditions when restored to 20°C.
• Dissipation Factor (tanδ) — tanδ = 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (documented for the 25 V rating), supporting predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 140 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 210 mA (10 kHz), appropriate for audio-related ripple handling.
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 75 µA.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance) and radial lead mounting for through-hole designs.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance as stated in the product specifications.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly needs.

Typical Applications

• General audio equipment — Intended for use across a broad range of audio products where stable capacitance and endurance are required.
• Audio power sections — Suitable for power-related functions within audio systems that need ripple handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Audio electronics operating in varied environments — The −55°C to 105°C range supports designs exposed to wide temperature swings.

Unique Advantages

• Application-focused design: Specifically honed for general audio equipment use, aligning product characteristics with audio system requirements.
• Wide operating temperature and proven endurance: −55°C to 105°C rating plus 1000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in demanding thermal conditions.
• Measured AC performance: Specified tanδ and documented ripple currents at multiple frequencies enable designers to quantify loss and ripple-handling for audio power paths.
• Compact through-hole form factor: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing deliver space-efficient radial mounting for legacy and new board layouts.
• Quality and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated manufacturing and reliability-conscious programs.
• Flexible procurement: Bulk or bag packaging options accommodate both high-volume assembly and smaller production runs.
