UKW1V101MED

The UKW1V101MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKW series, designed for audio and AV equipment. It combines a 100 µF capacitance at 35 V with a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing for board-level radial mounting.

Built using the UKW series electrolyte formulation, the part is specified to support audio applications with a focus on sound-quality characteristics while delivering measurable electrical performance: low loss (tan δ), defined ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and rated endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  100 µF capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance and a measured tan δ of 0.14 (20°C, 120 Hz), providing defined frequency-dependent loss characteristics for circuit designers.
• Ripple Current Capability  Low-frequency ripple current rated at 200 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current rated at 300 mA (10 kHz), enabling stable operation across audio and higher-frequency conditions.
• Leakage and Polarization  Polarized construction with a specified leakage current of 105 µA, consistent with electrolytic capacitor behavior at rated voltage.
• Reliability & Endurance  Endurance specified at 2000 hours with rated voltage applied at 85°C; performance restored to 20°C must meet capacitance, tan δ and leakage specifications per the series data.
• Mechanical & Mounting  Radial lead (can) package, dimensions φ6.3 × 11 mm, lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm), packaged in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Temperature Range & Compliance  Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Audio / AV Equipment  Specified for audio use within the UKW series — designed to support AV and audio products where component selection influences sound character.
• Consumer Electronics  Suitable where a compact radial electrolytic capacitor with defined endurance and ripple characteristics is required on power or audio circuit boards.
• Signal and Power Sections in Audio Systems  Intended for use in designs that benefit from the UKW series’ electrolyte formulation and measurable loss behavior at audio frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Sound-oriented electrolyte formulation: The UKW series is described as achieving a “harmonious balance of sound quality,” making this part appropriate where audio characteristics matter.
• Defined loss characteristic: A tan δ of 0.14 at 35 V (20°C, 120 Hz) gives designers a quantifiable measure of dissipation for circuit modelling and filter design.
• Dual-frequency ripple ratings: Rated ripple currents for both 120 Hz (200 mA) and 10 kHz (300 mA) support performance across low and higher-frequency conditions encountered in audio circuitry.
• Compact radial footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing provides a small through-hole solution for space-constrained board layouts.
• Robust endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85°C with specified recovery criteria supports reliability planning in thermal environments up to the part’s rated limit.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements as documented for the UKW series.
