UKT1V100MDD

The UKT1V100MDD is a Nichicon UKT series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial-lead can, specified at 10 µF and 35 V. It is designed for audio applications and general audio equipment, offering a wide operating temperature range and durability for demanding operating conditions.

Key value comes from its combination of small footprint, wide temperature tolerance, and measured electrical characteristics—making it suitable for decoupling, coupling and power-smoothing roles in audio circuitry.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF rated capacitance at 35 V, polarized electrolytic construction for DC filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Low loss (dissipation factor): tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz—helpful where minimized loss is required in audio signal-path support and power filtering.
• Ripple current capability: Rated low-frequency ripple current 41 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 82 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both power-supply and higher-frequency decoupling needs.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 10.5 µA, aiding predictable bias and low-noise operation in audio circuits.
• Temperature and endurance: Wide operating range of −55°C to +105°C with a rated life of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact radial package: φ5 × 11 mm can with radial leads, lead spacing 2.0 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole PCB layouts where board space is limited.
• Standards and compliance: AEC-Q200 rating listed in specifications and RoHS compliant.
• Packaging: Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing to support prototyping and small-volume assembly.

Typical Applications

• Audio power supply smoothing: Provides bulk decoupling and smoothing in audio power rails where 35 V rating and 10 µF value are appropriate.
• Signal coupling/decoupling: Used in audio signal paths to block DC and stabilize biasing with low dissipation factor for reduced distortion.
• General audio equipment: Suitable for use across amplifiers, preamps, and other audio devices that require small radial electrolytic capacitors with wide temperature tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can delivers capacitance in a small radial package ideal for dense PCB designs.
• Wide temperature capability: −55°C to +105°C rating supports reliable operation across harsh environmental conditions commonly encountered in audio equipment.
• Defined ripple performance: Measured ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors against both low- and high-frequency demands.
• Controlled loss characteristics: tanδ = 0.16 at 20°C/120 Hz provides predictable dissipation behavior for audio applications where loss impacts performance.
• Endurance-tested: 1000 hours at 105°C endurance rating gives a quantifiable reliability baseline for thermal-stressed designs.
• Compliance and qualification: RoHS compliant and listed with AEC-Q200 in specifications for enhanced reliability considerations.
