UVK2A102MHD

The UVK2A102MHD is a Nichicon UVK series miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can. It provides 1000 µF capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage in a compact φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose power electronics, this polarized capacitor delivers bulk capacitance, defined ripple-handling capability, and a 2000-hour endurance at 85°C for applications that require reliable energy storage and smoothing within a −40°C to 85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1000 µF nominal capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low-Frequency & High-Frequency Ripple Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current of 1.35 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.552 A at 10 kHz, specified for the part.
• Endurance and Temperature Range: Life/endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C; operating temperature range is −40°C to 85°C.
• Electrical Losses: Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for the 100 V rating.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 3000 µA at rated conditions for this part.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, polarized aluminum can with dimensions φ18 × 35.5 mm (L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm).
• Compliance & Packaging Options: RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for assembly flexibility.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering (General Purpose): Bulk capacitance and defined ripple ratings make it suitable for smoothing and ripple reduction in 100 V circuits.
• Energy Buffering (General Purpose): 1000 µF at 100 V provides stored energy for transient support in general-purpose power electronics within the specified temperature range.
• Industrial Control Electronics (General Purpose): Polarized radial-lead mounting and a 2000-hour endurance at 85°C fit general-purpose control and power modules operating between −40°C and 85°C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Miniature Can: φ18 × 35.5 mm footprint provides high capacitance in a reduced case size compared with larger series, aiding space-constrained through-hole designs.
• Defined Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable designers to size capacitors based on measured ripple conditions.
• Long-Endurance Rating: 2000 hours at 85°C provides predictable lifetime behavior for designs that require sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Measured Loss Characteristics: tan δ of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) helps in predicting AC loss and thermal behavior in application environments.
• Through-Hole Compatibility: Radial lead construction with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies mechanical retention and hand or wave-solder assembly in conventional PCB layouts.
• RoHS Compliant & Packaging Flexibility: RoHS compliance and available bulk or bag packing support regulatory and production requirements.
