URS2C101MRD6

The URS2C101MRD6 from Nichicon is a URS-series miniature, low-profile aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage with polarized radial leads and is intended for general-purpose electronic assemblies.

Designed for compact through-hole mounting, the part combines moderate capacitance, defined ripple-current capability, and a −40°C to 85°C operating range for use in a variety of general-purpose applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% and a specified tanδ (DF) of 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 160 V working voltage suitable for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Ripple-Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 590 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 944 mA at 10 kHz provide defined filtering and smoothing capacity.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 740 µA for predictable standby and hold-up performance.
• Reliability & Endurance — Life rating of 2000 hours at 85°C; designed to meet endurance characteristics after restoration to 20°C following the rated voltage endurance test.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Compact can size φ20 × 15 mm length with 10 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead configuration for through-hole mounting; available in bulk/bag packing.
• Temperature Range — Operating from −40°C to +85°C for use across a broad environmental range.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in a wide range of consumer and industrial circuits requiring a 100 µF, 160 V polarized capacitor.
• Through-hole radial assemblies — Radial-lead format and compact φ20 × 15 mm can make this part suitable for PCB designs that use conventional through-hole mounting.
• Power filtering and decoupling — Rated ripple-current figures and leakage current specifications support use where defined filtering performance at 120 Hz and higher frequencies is required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, low-profile form — φ20 × 15 mm can size supports space-constrained board layouts while retaining 100 µF capacitance.
• High voltage headroom — 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage general-purpose circuits compared with lower-voltage electrolytic options.
• Defined ripple performance — Published ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size the capacitor for both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Long endurance specification — 2000 hours at 85°C provides designers with a clear lifetime expectation under elevated temperature stress.
• Radial-lead convenience — Simple through-hole installation and 10 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) ease placement and handling in manual or automated assembly processes.
• Clear electrical limits — Specified tanδ and leakage current figures allow predictable behavior for filtering and hold-up applications.

Why Choose URS2C101MRD6?

URS2C101MRD6 is positioned for designers who need a compact, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a higher voltage rating and defined ripple-current capability. Its combination of 100 µF capacitance, 160 V rating, and radial-lead packaging makes it suitable for general-purpose boards that require predictable filtering, decoupling, or energy-holding behavior across −40°C to 85°C.

The clear endurance and electrical specifications simplify selection and reliability planning for production designs, while the small φ20 × 15 mm can helps conserve PCB space without sacrificing performance metrics important to engineers and procurement teams.
