UVK2A101MPD

The UVK2A101MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVK series, designed as a miniature-sized, general-purpose capacitor. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact φ10×16L can with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs that require compact high-voltage capacitance, the UVK2A101MPD pairs a small package footprint with measured endurance and defined ripple-current capability for routine filtering, smoothing and energy-storage roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 100 µF nominal capacitance rated at 100 V, suitable where compact high-voltage capacitance is required.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead can (φ10×16L) with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options; lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to +85°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 85°C.
• Ripple Current: Low-frequency ripple current 340 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 510 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both mains-frequency and higher-frequency filtering.
• Leakage & Dissipation: Specified leakage current 300 µA and tanδ (DF) 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Tolerance & Polarization: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C); polarized electrolytic construction.
• Regulatory: UVK series noted as RoHS-compliant in the product literature.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Compact 100 µF/100 V capacitance for smoothing and bulk energy storage in a range of consumer and industrial circuits.
• Power filtering — Supports low- and high-frequency ripple handling (340 mA @120 Hz, 510 mA @10 kHz) for decoupling and filter stages.
• Compact high-voltage circuits — Miniature φ10×16L can delivers high-voltage capacitance where PCB space is constrained.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-voltage form factor: Provides 100 V rated capacitance in a φ10×16L radial can to save board space while maintaining needed voltage margin.
• Defined ripple performance: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable predictable thermal and electrical behavior across common filtering frequencies.
• Long-duration endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C specified endurance gives designers a clear expectation for lifetime under elevated operating temperature.
• Low leakage and stable dissipation: 300 µA leakage current and tanδ of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) help minimize loss and unwanted discharge in stored-energy applications.
• Manufactured scale: Offered in mass-production status by Nichicon’s UVK series, with bulk and bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.
