UKW1J102MHD

The UKW1J102MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UKW series, engineered for audio and AV equipment. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with a design focus on sound-quality balance enabled by a specially developed electrolyte.

Designed for power smoothing and decoupling in audio circuits, the part combines high ripple-handling capability with a wide operating temperature range and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 85°C, supporting reliable operation in demanding consumer and professional AV systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF capacitance rated at 63 V for bulk filtering and energy storage in power rails.
• Audio-optimized Electrolyte — Part of the UKW series developed for a harmonious balance of sound quality, making it suited for AV and audio equipment.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.10 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable performance in audio-frequency applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.3 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.495 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective filtering across practical ripple spectra.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1890 µA consistent with rated voltage conditions.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C with operating temperature from –40°C to 85°C for reliable long-term use.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (polarized) aluminum can, size φ16 × 25L with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements as specified for the UKW series.

Typical Applications

• Audio Power Supply Filtering — Bulk capacitance and high ripple handling make it suitable for smoothing supply rails in amplifiers and preamplifiers.
• AV Equipment — Designed for AV and consumer audio systems where sound-character considerations and stable power delivery are important.
• Output/Decoupling Capacitor — Use as decoupling and smoothing capacitor on power rails for modules in audio electronics that require low-frequency and high-frequency ripple attenuation.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused formulation: The UKW series' electrolyte development targets a harmonious balance of sound quality, aligning electrical performance with audio design priorities.
• Measured low loss: tanδ = 0.10 at 20°C, 120 Hz provides predictable dissipation characteristics for audio-frequency circuits.
