URZ1C332MHD

The URZ1C332MHD is a Nichicon URZ series radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 3300 µF and 16 V. It is a compact, low-profile can intended for general-purpose electronic designs that require high capacitance in a through-hole format.

Key value propositions include a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, specified endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C, measurable ripple-current ratings at low and high frequencies, and straightforward bulk/bag packaging for assembly.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Radial-Lead Package — Radial lead mounting in a φ18 × 15 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assemblies.
• Capacitance and Tolerance — 3.3 mF (3300 µF) nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −55°C to 105°C; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change and tan δ.
• Ripple Current Ratings — Low-frequency ripple current 1.05 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.208 A at 10 kHz (as specified).
• Dissipation Factor & Leakage — tan δ = 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 1584 µA.
• Packaging & Availability — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Suited for designs listed as general purpose where a high-capacitance, through-hole aluminum electrolytic solution is required.
• Compact, Low-Profile Assemblies — The φ18 × 15 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing make it applicable where board space and component height are constrained.
• Elevated-Temperature Designs — Rated operation to 105°C with 1000-hour endurance supports use in assemblies exposed to sustained higher ambient temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Can: 3300 µF packed into a φ18 × 15 mm radial package for designs needing substantial bulk capacitance without a large footprint.
• Broad Temperature Capability: −55°C to 105°C operating range covers a wide set of environmental conditions.
• Specified Elevated-Temperature Endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change and dissipation factor for predictable long-term behavior.
• Quantified Ripple and Leakage Performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz together with a measured leakage current allow engineers to evaluate thermal and DC bias considerations precisely.
• Standard Through-Hole Integration: 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial-lead mounting simplify mechanical placement and soldering in conventional PCB assembly workflows.
• Production-Ready Packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing and listed as mass production for volume procurement.

Why Choose URZ1C332MHD?

The URZ1C332MHD positions itself as a compact, high-capacitance aluminum electrolytic option for engineers who need 3.3 mF at 16 V in a radial through-hole package.
