UKW0J102MPD

The UKW0J102MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKW series, specified at 1000 µF with a 6.3 V rating and polarized construction. It is designed for audio and AV equipment applications where compact size and audible-performance-focused electrolytes are required.

Key attributes include a 3.5 mm lead spacing, compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can, low-frequency ripple handling up to 530 mA (120 Hz), high-frequency ripple handling up to 609.5 mA (10 kHz), and a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable where larger bulk capacitance is required in low-voltage audio circuits.
• Audio-Optimized Electrolyte — Part of the UKW series developed for audio equipment; series notes cite a new electrolyte formulation aimed at balancing sound quality for AV designs.
• Ripple Current Performance — 530 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 609.5 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling in power paths exposed to AC ripple.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 189 µA, supporting predictable bias conditions in sensitive audio circuits.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C, with post-test limits of ±20% capacitance change and leakage within initial specified value, providing defined lifetime behavior for design planning.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-type package (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing; available bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for assembly flexibility.
• Temperature Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Bulk capacitance and audio-optimized electrolyte make this capacitor suitable for power supply and coupling/decoupling uses in consumer and professional audio devices.
• AV systems — Compact radial package and defined ripple ratings support integration into AV receivers, amplifiers, and related components where space is limited.
• Power filtering in low-voltage circuits — Specified ripple current and leakage allow use in smoothing and decoupling stages of low-voltage audio power supplies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused formulation: Part of Nichicon’s UKW series, developed with an electrolyte formulation intended to achieve a balanced sound characteristic for AV and audio applications.
• Measured ripple capacity: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (530 mA @120 Hz, 609.5 mA @10 kHz) let designers size capacitors against real ripple conditions.
• Defined endurance specification: 2000 hours at 85°C with clear post-life limits for capacitance and leakage, enabling predictable lifecycle planning.
• Compact radial can: φ8 × 11.5 mm body with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides a small-footprint solution for through-hole audio boards and assemblies.
• Low leakage: Specified leakage current of 189 µA supports stable biasing in sensitive circuits.
• RoHS compliant: Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substance compliance.
