URZ2C101MHD

The URZ2C101MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor with 100 µF nominal capacitance and a 160 V rated voltage. Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, it delivers compact energy storage in a low-profile φ18 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Key electrical characteristics include a rated operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C, a specified life of 1000 hours at 105°C, defined ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies, and a leakage current specification suitable for typical power and energy-decoupling roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable charge storage.
• High Rated Voltage — 160 V rated voltage for higher-voltage general-purpose designs requiring elevated DC working voltage.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operates from −40°C to 105°C with a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C to support sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for defined dissipation behavior in AC and ripple conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 420 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 672 mA (10 kHz) for handling AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 740 µA for predictable quiescent behavior after voltage application.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial can (φ18 × 20 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing and 0.8 mm lead diameter for through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB placement.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC applications that require polarity-aware capacitors.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match assembly or prototyping workflows.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable where a 100 µF, 160 V radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general-purpose circuits.
• Power Modules — Can be used in power electronics assemblies that need a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and leakage specifications.
• Industrial Equipment — Applicable in industrial boards and assemblies operating within −40°C to 105°C and requiring a 1000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating allows use in higher-voltage DC circuits without stepping up to larger form factors.
• Compact Low-Profile Footprint: φ18 × 20 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing provide a space-efficient through-hole solution.
• Defined Thermal Endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C gives a clear specification for sustained elevated-temperature operation and life planning.
• Frequency-Range Ripple Handling: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (420 mA at 120 Hz and 672 mA at 10 kHz) make behavior predictable across common ripple spectra.
• Known Dissipation and Leakage: Specified tan δ (0.2) and leakage current (740 µA) enable engineers to model losses and quiescent currents accurately.
• Flexible Packaging: Bulk and bag packing options support both prototype builds and volume board assembly workflows.
