UVK2G100MPD

The UVK2G100MPD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVK series. It is a polarized, radial-lead, can-style capacitor rated at 10 µF and 400 V, designed for general-purpose use where a compact high-voltage capacitor is required.

Its compact footprint (L: 1.6 × D: 1.0 cm) and 5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for space-constrained through-hole designs, while series-level specifications provide endurance and leakage characteristics appropriate for industrial and consumer power applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance with a 400 V rated working voltage and a ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Miniature Radial Package — Radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.6 × D: 1.0 cm), enabling space-efficient through-hole implementation.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for −40°C to +85°C, supporting a wide range of ambient operating conditions for general-purpose designs.
• Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with applied rated voltage; after endurance testing, capacitance change remains within ±20% and leakage current stays within initial specified limits.
• Ripple Current Performance — Ripple current ratings of 90 mA at 120 Hz and 144 mA at 10 kHz help quantify AC stress handling in filtering and decoupling roles.
• Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage-current guidance: after 1 minute ≤ 0.03CV (µA) and after 2 minutes ≤ 0.01CV (µA), per datasheet test conditions.
• RoHS Compliance — UVK series capacitors are compliant with the RoHS directive described in the series datasheet.
• Marking — Components are printed with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear polarity and value identification.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk and high-voltage filtering in compact AC‑DC and DC‑DC supplies where space and voltage handling are both required.
• Decoupling and energy storage — Local energy storage and smoothing for high-voltage rails in industrial control and consumer electronics.
• Signal and control circuits — Filtering and stabilization in measurement, instrumentation, and control boards that use through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability in a compact footprint: 400 V rating combined with a 1.6 × 1.0 cm package enables high-voltage designs without large, bulky capacitors.
• Quantified ripple handling: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow straightforward thermal and ripple budgeting in power designs.
• Endurance assurance: 2000 hours at 85°C specification gives designers clear expectations for long-term performance under sustained elevated temperature and voltage.
• Clear leakage specifications: Datasheet leakage-current limits (0.03CV after 1 minute; 0.01CV after 2 minutes) support predictable bias and standby current calculations.
• Through-hole mounting simplicity: Radial-lead, can-style package simplifies assembly for prototypes, field-replaceable modules, and legacy PCBs.
• RoHS-aligned: Series-level RoHS compliance supports use in regions and products where restricted substances requirements apply.

Why Choose UVK2G100MPD?

UVK2G100MPD is positioned for engineers who need a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor with documented endurance, leakage, and ripple characteristics. Its small radial-can form factor and 400 V rating make it a pragmatic choice for space-limited power designs that still require robust voltage handling.

As part of Nichicon's UVK series, this part carries the series-level specifications that facilitate predictable behavior over temperature and time, helping reduce risk in production designs and simplifying component selection for general-purpose power and control applications.
