UVP1A332MHD

The UVP1A332MHD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series, designed for entertainment electronics and general‑purpose electronic equipment. It delivers a 3.3 mF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a radial‑lead can package suitable for through‑hole PCB assemblies.

Key value comes from its bi‑polar design for AC‑compatible circuits, robust ripple handling across low and high frequencies, and a proven endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85°C with polarity inversion—making it practical for long‑life consumer applications.

Key Features

• Electrical specification — Rated capacitance 3.3 mF with tolerance ±20% and rated voltage 10 V.
• Bi‑polar construction — Non‑polar (bi‑polar) configuration suitable where polarity may invert during operation.
• Package & mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and physical size L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm for straightforward through‑hole mounting.
• Operating temperature — Specified for −40 °C to +85 °C operation.
• Endurance — 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours (endurance criteria defined in the series datasheet).
• Ripple performance — Rated ripple current of 1.69 A at 120 Hz and 1.944 A at 10 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple conditions.
• Leakage current specification — Series leakage guideline: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C the leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA), per the datasheet.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment electronics — Intended for use in consumer entertainment systems where bi‑polar capacitors are required.
• General‑purpose electronic equipment — Suitable for a wide range of general‑purpose circuits specified by the product data.
• Through‑hole PCB assemblies — Radial lead package and standard can format simplify assembly into through‑hole boards and retrofit designs.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar design for AC conditions: Eliminates polarity constraints, simplifying design in circuits that experience polarity reversals.
• Compact radial can: 3.05 × 1.6 cm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing allows dense placement on through‑hole PCBs while maintaining serviceable form factor.
• Measured ripple capability: Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz (1.69 A) and 10 kHz (1.944 A) give clear guidelines for power‑handling in both low and high frequency environments.
• Documented endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion test conditions provide a measurable reliability basis for product selection.
• Controlled leakage behavior: Datasheet leakage current limit (≤ 0.03CV µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C) supports predictable bias performance in designs.
• RoHS compliance and established manufacturer: Conforms to RoHS requirements and is supplied by Nichicon, a recognized electrolytic capacitor manufacturer.
