UVK2C101MHD

The UVK2C101MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVK series, offering 100 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can. Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs, it provides energy storage, filtering and decoupling capability where a 160 V working voltage and a small footprint are required.

As part of the UVK miniature line, this part combines a small case size with a defined endurance and electrical profile suitable for industrial and consumer power circuitry operating across –40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF capacitance rated at 160 V DC, suited for higher-voltage DC link and filtering uses where this voltage and capacitance are required.
• Compact Radial Can — φ12.5 × 25 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial-lead configuration for through-hole PCB mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated life of 2000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, supporting sustained operation under elevated ambient temperatures.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 430 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 688 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling across common power-supply frequencies.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing a defined loss characteristic for circuit design and thermal considerations.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 740 µA, allowing predictable standby and leakage behavior for bias and hold-up designs.
• Packaging & Production — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product is in mass production, facilitating volume procurement and assembly planning.
• RoHS Compliance (Series) — UVK series is compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), as noted in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Use as a DC-link or smoothing capacitor in power supplies and converters where 160 V rating and 100 µF capacitance are needed.
• Industrial power circuitry — Suitable for general-purpose energy storage and ripple suppression in industrial control electronics operating up to +85 °C.
• Through-hole PCB designs — Compact radial-lead form factor with 5 mm lead spacing for reliable through-hole mounting and manual or wave-solder assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability in a small can — 160 V rating in a φ12.5 × 25 mm package enables higher-voltage designs without a large PCB footprint.
• Defined endurance specification — 2000 hours at 85 °C gives designers a clear baseline for lifetime planning and thermal management.
• Predictable ripple handling — Published low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (430 mA @120 Hz, 688 mA @10 kHz) simplify thermal and ripple budgeting in power stages.
• Measurable loss and leakage metrics — Specified tan δ and leakage current figures (0.20, 740 µA) support accurate loss, heat, and idle-current calculations.
• Assembly-friendly radial format — Standard radial lead spacing and packaging options (bulk or bag) ease integration into through-hole manufacturing flows.
• Series-level RoHS compliance — UVK series compliance to RoHS directives assists regulatory conformity for most commercial and industrial products.
