UKW1H100MDD

The UKW1H100MDD is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKW series, optimized for audio and AV equipment. It delivers 10 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact φ5 × 11 mm can, offering low loss and reliable performance for signal and power conditioning in compact electronic assemblies.

Engineered for through‑hole mounting, this polarized capacitor combines a low tangent of loss angle (tanδ = 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz), defined ripple handling, and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C to meet the needs of long‑running audio applications.

Key Features

• Compact Radial Can Package — φ5 × 11 mm body with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) suits tight PCB layouts and through‑hole assembly.
• Audio‑focused Electrolyte — Developed for the UKW series to balance sound quality and electrical performance in audio/AV equipment.
• Electrical Ratings — 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and 50 V rated voltage for decoupling and coupling duties in signal and power circuits.
• Low Loss — tanδ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for reduced dissipation in audio signal paths.
• Ripple Current Capability — 65 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 130 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support both power smoothing and higher‑frequency ripple environments.
• Reliability and Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C; designed to meet specified capacitance, dissipation, and leakage limits after endurance testing.
• Leakage Current — Specified at 15 µA, enabling stable low‑current operation in sensitive circuits.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +85°C for use across typical commercial and AV operating environments.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or prototyping workflows.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Bulk and coupling capacitors in amplifiers, preamps, and signal chains where low loss and stable performance are required.
• AV Electronics: Power supply smoothing and decoupling in compact AV devices and consumer audio gear.
• Through‑Hole PCBs: Ideal for legacy or mixed‑technology boards needing reliable radial lead capacitors with small footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Tuned Electrolyte: Formulation developed for a balance of sound quality and electrical stability appropriate for audio/AV systems.
• Small Footprint, Strong Performance: φ5 × 11 mm size conserves PCB area while providing rated voltage, capacitance, and ripple handling for common audio functions.
• Measured Low Dissipation: Defined tanδ at 120 Hz gives predictable loss characteristics for designers optimizing frequency response and noise.
• Operational Durability: 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C and a wide −40°C to +85°C operating range support long service life in typical environments.
• Flexible Supply Format: Bulk or bag packing options accommodate prototype runs and medium‑volume assembly processes.
• Compliance Ready: RoHS compliance helps simplify regulatory considerations for commercial products.
