UVK2E100MPD

The UVK2E100MPD is a miniature radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVK series, offering a 10 µF capacitance at a 250 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling, it pairs a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm can with a 5.0 mm lead spacing for space-conscious board layouts.

Key value comes from its high-voltage capability, defined ripple-current handling at both low and high frequencies, and an endurance rating established for extended operation at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating – 10 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, rated for 250 V operation.
• Loss Characteristics – Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting predictable dissipation behavior in AC conditions.
• Ripple Current – Low-frequency ripple current 100 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 160 mA at 10 kHz for mixed-frequency smoothing applications.
• Leakage Current – Specified leakage current of 200 µA, enabling stable bias performance after voltage application.
• Temperature & Endurance – Rated for operation from -40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C, meeting defined long-term performance criteria.
• Compact Radial Package – Miniature-sized can (φ10 × 12.5 mm) with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), supplied in bulk or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.
• Polarized – Conventional polarized electrolytic construction suitable for DC smoothing and energy-storage tasks.
• RoHS Compliance (Series) – The UVK series is compliant to the RoHS directive as noted in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering – Decoupling and smoothing in compact, high-voltage DC power rails where a 250 V rating is required.
• Industrial Control Electronics – Local energy storage and ripple suppression in control modules operating within the -40 °C to +85 °C range.
• Consumer and Commercial Devices – General-purpose bulk or bypass capacitance in compact assemblies that benefit from a radial-lead footprint.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability in a small can – 250 V rating combined with a φ10 × 12.5 mm package enables space-efficient designs without sacrificing voltage margin.
• Defined ripple performance across frequencies – Separate low-frequency (120 Hz) and high-frequency (10 kHz) ripple-current specifications allow designers to size for mixed-frequency smoothing needs.
• Stable leakage and loss behavior – Specified leakage current (200 µA) and tan δ (0.20 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) support predictable DC bias and dissipation planning.
• Endurance for elevated-temperature use – 2000 hours at 85 °C provides a quantifiable lifetime metric for thermal-stressed applications.
• Radial-lead simplicity – Through-hole radial mounting with 5.0 mm lead spacing and standard lead form makes handling and assembly straightforward for mixed-technology boards.
• Series-level RoHS compliance – UVK series compliance to RoHS directives assists in meeting regulatory constraints for many commercial products.
