UVK1C103MHD

The UVK1C103MHD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVK series. It is a standard-type, radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 10,000 µF and 16 V, designed for general-purpose electronic applications.

With a compact φ16 × 35.5 mm can, a rated operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 85 °C, this part provides bulk capacitance, measurable ripple-current capability, and industry-standard radial-lead mounting for board-level designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 10,000 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating for low-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 2.71 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.116 A at 10 kHz (product-specified values).
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — Specified tan δ 0.38 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) for loss characterization.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 4,800 µA after application of rated voltage (product-specified value).
• Reliability / Endurance — Rated life 2000 hours at 85 °C with recovery testing to meet endurance specifications.
• Packaging & Mounting — Radial-lead package, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm); available as bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; status: mass production.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Provides bulk capacitance for board-level power circuits that require a 10,000 µF, 16 V polarized capacitor in a compact radial-lead package.
• Power Filtering and Smoothing — Used where measurable ripple-current handling and bulk energy storage are needed in low-voltage designs.
• Embedded and Industrial Modules — Suitable for board assemblies that require a durable capacitor with a −40 °C to 85 °C operating range and 2000‑hour endurance at 85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• High Bulk Capacitance in a Miniature Case: 10,000 µF in a φ16 × 35.5 mm can allows large capacitance without a larger footprint.
• Measured Ripple-Current Ratings: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support thermal and AC performance planning.
• Defined Endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C provides a clear lifetime specification for thermal-stress planning.
• Radial-Lead Format with Defined Lead Spacing: 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) simplifies placement and mechanical layout for radial-lead mounting.
• Clear Loss and Leakage Characteristics: Provided tan δ and leakage-current figures enable accurate circuit loss and standby-current estimates.
• RoHS Compliant and Mass-Production Availability: Environmental compliance and production status support volume designs and procurement planning.
