UVP1A102MHD

The UVP1A102MHD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series, designed for general‑purpose use in entertainment electronics. It provides 1 mF rated capacitance at 10 V in a compact radial can package with radial leads and 5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for consumer and repair applications, this component offers bi‑polar construction, defined ripple handling, and endurance characteristics suitable for circuits that require non‑polar electrolytic capacitance within a –40 °C to +85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 1 mF capacitance rated at 10 V for general‑purpose circuit use.
• Bi‑Polar Polarization Bi‑polar construction suitable for applications where polarity reversal may occur; part of Nichicon’s standard bi‑polarized UVP series for entertainment electronics.
• Package & Mounting Radial, can package with radial lead mounting and 5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole PCB assembly.
• Thermal & Lifetime Rated operating temperature –40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance life of 2000 hours at 85 °C (endurance tested with polarity inversion per datasheet).
• Ripple Performance Rated ripple current: 720 mA at 120 Hz and 828 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC ripple demands common in entertainment electronics.
• Capacitance Tolerance ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C per series specification).
• RoHS Compliance Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Dimensions Size: L: 2 × D: 1.25 cm with 5 mm lead spacing for space‑constrained through‑hole designs.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics Suited to consumer audio/video and entertainment equipment as part of the UVP series targeted to that market.
• General‑Purpose Electronics Use in general circuits where a bi‑polar electrolytic capacitor with 1 mF/10 V ratings is required.
• Through‑Hole Assembly & Repair Radial lead format and 5 mm lead spacing make the part appropriate for through‑hole PCB assembly, prototyping, and field service replacement.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑Polar Design Verified by Endurance Testing: Endurance testing (2000 h at 85 °C with polarity inversion every 250 h) demonstrates the UVP series’ suitability for applications experiencing polarity change.
• Clear Ripple Specifications: Defined ripple current ratings (720 mA at 120 Hz, 828 mA at 10 kHz) allow designers to size decoupling and smoothing networks with confidence.
• Compact Radial Can: 2.0 × 1.25 cm package footprint with radial leads provides a balance of capacitance and PCB space efficiency for through‑hole designs.
• Wide Operating Range: –40 °C to +85 °C operation supports a broad set of consumer environments common to entertainment systems.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to applicable EU directives for environmentally conscious designs.
