URZ2C101MRD6

The URZ2C101MRD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s URZ series, offering 100 µF capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance. Engineered as a compact, low-profile radial can, it is intended for general-purpose use where polarized bulk capacitance is required.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, defined endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C, and measurable ripple and leakage specifications that support power-filtering and decoupling roles in a variety of general-purpose electronics designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 100 µF with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C) for general-purpose bulk and decoupling needs.
• Rated Voltage: 16 V nominal rated voltage suitable for low-voltage DC circuits that require polarized storage.
• Operating Temperature & Endurance: -40°C to 105°C operating range with a specified life of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 420 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 672 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC ripple handling across common switching and linear environments.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 740 µA, allowing designers to budget for standby and leakage behavior.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with dimensions φ20 × 15 mm and 10 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and easy replacement or prototyping.
• Polarized Construction: Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for conventional power-supply and smoothing applications.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Bulk smoothing and ripple reduction in low-voltage DC circuits using the 100 µF / 16 V rating and specified ripple current capabilities.
• Decoupling and energy storage: Local energy reservoir for modules and subsystems where radial through-hole mounting is required and a compact can footprint (φ20 × 15 mm) is beneficial.
• Prototyping and board-level repair: Through-hole radial format and standard lead spacing (10 mm) help with quick replacement and bench-level evaluations in general-purpose designs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, low-profile package: φ20 × 15 mm can offers a small footprint for designs constrained by board real estate while maintaining adequate capacitance.
• Defined endurance rating: Rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, enabling predictable lifetime planning under elevated operating temperatures.
• High ripple handling: 420 mA (120 Hz) and 672 mA (10 kHz) ripple specifications let designers account for both low- and high-frequency ripple currents in supply filters.
• Clear leakage specification: 740 µA leakage current provides a quantifiable parameter for low-current and standby power budgeting.
• Standard radial mounting: 10 mm lead spacing and can-style package simplify through-hole assembly and serviceability in general-purpose equipment.
