UKW1J100MDD

The UKW1J100MDD is a Nichicon UKW-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, specified at 10 µF and 63 V. It is designed for audio and AV equipment applications where compact size and audio-focused performance characteristics are required.

Key electrical characteristics include a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.10 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, rated leakage current of 18.9 µA, and rated ripple current values for both low and high frequency operation. Note: product status is End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF rated capacitance with a 63 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable decoupling and coupling in DC-biased audio circuits.
• Audio-Optimized Dielectric: UKW-series electrolyte formulation developed for audio equipment, aimed at delivering a balanced sound characteristic for AV applications.
• Low Loss (tanδ): tanδ = 0.10 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting low dissipation in audio frequency signal paths.
• Ripple Current Handling: Low-frequency ripple current 70 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 140 mA at 10 kHz, enabling performance across a range of ripple conditions.
• Reliability & Endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C, with operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C for stability in typical electronic environments.
• Compact Radial Package: φ5 × 11 mm can (approximately 5 mm diameter × 11 mm length) with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial-lead mounting style; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Polarized Construction: Polar aluminum electrolytic design suitable for DC-coupled circuits commonly found in audio equipment.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant per the product data.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Coupling and decoupling in preamplifiers, tone control circuits, and other audio signal paths where the UKW-series electrolyte is intended to influence sound character.
• AV Systems: Power supply filtering and local decoupling in compact AV devices benefiting from a small radial can and rated ripple current performance.
• Consumer Electronics: General-purpose DC filtering and smoothing in consumer audio-related modules that require a compact, polarized electrolytic solution.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-Focused Electrolyte: UKW-series development targets a harmonious balance of sound quality, aligning component performance with audio design goals.
• Compact Footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can and 2.0 mm lead spacing provide a small radial package for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Broad Frequency Ripple Handling: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz address both power-supply and higher-frequency decoupling demands.
• High-Temperature Endurance: 2000-hour endurance at 85°C supports designs with elevated operating temperatures and predictable lifetime behavior.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free environmental compliance in design and manufacturing.
