UPS1C100MDD

The UPS1C100MDD is a Nichicon UPS-series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can. It delivers 10 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ5 × 11 mm package intended for applications where board space and reliable power filtering are important.

Designed as a high-reliability type for power applications, this capacitor offers a low-impedance construction and an extended temperature range suitable for demanding general-purpose and switching power supply duties.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple and Leakage: Low-frequency ripple current 27.2 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 160 mA (10 kHz), with a leakage current of 4.8 µA.
• Reliability and Endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C under specified conditions, providing predictable lifetime performance for elevated-temperature applications.
• Temperature Range: Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for use across varied thermal environments.
• Mechanical & Packaging: Compact radial lead can, size φ5 × 11 mm (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.5 cm) with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Low-impedance, miniature design supports output filtering and decoupling in compact SMPS modules.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Suitable for smoothing and bypass duties in general electronic circuits requiring a 16 V, 10 µF polarized capacitor.
• Space-Constrained Designs: Compact φ5 × 11 mm can and 2 mm lead spacing make it usable where PCB real estate is limited.

Unique Advantages

• Miniature, Low-Impedance Construction: The UPS series’ miniature form factor and low-impedance design enable effective filtering in small footprints.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C supports designs that must tolerate extended elevated-temperature operation.
• Broad Operating Range: −55°C to +105°C operation allows deployment across a wide range of thermal conditions.
• Balanced Ripple Capability: Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (27.2 mA and 160 mA respectively) help designers evaluate performance across frequency ranges.
• Compact Mechanical Footprint: φ5 × 11 mm size and 2 mm lead spacing simplify placement in tight layouts while providing through-hole mounting robustness.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained product development.
