UKW2A100MED

The UKW2A100MED is a miniature polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package designed for audio and AV equipment. It combines a compact radial lead form factor with an audio-optimized electrolyte formulation to support balanced sound performance in through-hole designs.

Key electrical attributes include a 10 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and specified ripple handling at audio and high frequencies—making it suitable for decoupling, coupling and power filtering tasks in audio circuits.

Key Features

• Electrical rating — 10 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, polarization for DC-biased circuits.
• Audio-optimized electrolyte — Series-level development emphasizes a balanced sound character, specifically targeted for AV and audio equipment use.
• Radial can package — Through-hole radial lead mounting with 2.5 mm lead spacing for reliable assembly and board retention.
• Ripple handling — Rated ripple current of 75 mA at 120 Hz and 150 mA at 10 kHz to support low- and high-frequency filtering requirements.
• Wide operating range — Specified for use from −40 °C to +85 °C to cover typical audio equipment thermal environments.
• Endurance and reliability — Endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after test.
• Loss and leakage characteristics — Series tan δ specification provides a reference for dissipation (e.g., tan δ max. 0.08 at 100 V, measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and leakage current limits per datasheet (e.g., after 1 minute ≤ 0.03·C·V µA).
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment in product designs.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Coupling and decoupling in preamplifiers, tone controls and signal paths where audio quality is a priority.
• AV systems — Power supply filtering and buffer capacitors in home theater and AV receiver subsystems.
• Through-hole PCB designs — Radial lead format supports traditional assembly workflows for consumer and pro-audio products.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused formulation: Electrolyte development in the UKW series is targeted to achieve a harmonious balance of sound quality for AV and audio equipment.
• High voltage headroom: 100 V rating enables use in circuits requiring higher DC bias or greater safety margin across power rails.
• Compact radial can: Radial lead mounting with 2.5 mm lead spacing supports secure through-hole placement while minimizing PCB footprint.
• Specified ripple performance: Published ripple ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz give clear design guidance for low- and high-frequency filtering requirements.
• Defined endurance criteria: 2000 hours at 85 °C with measurable limits on capacitance, tan δ and leakage current helps quantify long-term behavior in thermal stress conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets common environmental requirements for modern electronic products.
