URS2A101MHD

The URS2A101MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s URS series, offering 100 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating. Its compact, low-profile can (φ12.5 × 15 mm) and standard 5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for general-purpose electronic assemblies requiring a polarized electrolytic solution.

Designed for general-purpose applications, this component combines a 2000-hour endurance at 85°C, defined ripple current characteristics at low and high frequency, and controlled electrical loss (tanδ) for reliable performance in many electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage to support higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Radial Lead Package — Through-hole radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for straightforward PCB mounting and prototyping.
• Compact, Low-Profile Size — Body dimensions φ12.5 × 15 mm provide a compact footprint for space-constrained assemblies.
• Loss Angle (tanδ) — tanδ of 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable AC loss characteristics.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple performance: 370 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 555 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling defined performance across typical ripple spectra.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 300 µA.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with specified limits on capacitance change, tanδ, and leakage after the endurance test.
• Operating Temperature Range — −40°C to +85°C to cover a wide range of ambient conditions for general-purpose designs.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic assemblies — Provides a polarized electrolytic option where a 100 µF / 100 V capacitor in a compact radial package is required.
• Boards requiring compact through-hole capacitors — Low-profile φ12.5 × 15 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing allow denser component placement in through-hole designs.
• Environments with defined thermal requirements — Specified −40°C to +85°C operating range and 2000-hour endurance at 85°C support stable performance in many commercial and industrial contexts.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage general-purpose circuits without upsizing capacitor value or form factor.
• Measured AC performance: Specified tanδ (0.08 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and defined ripple current values provide predictable behavior in AC and ripple-heavy environments.
• Compact through-hole form: φ12.5 × 15 mm low-profile can reduces board space compared with larger radial options while keeping standard lead spacing.
• Long-term endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C gives a clear reliability baseline for lifecycle planning and component selection.
• Flexible supply format: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit prototype runs or larger production volumes.
