UVP1C100MDD

The UVP1C100MDD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics applications. This radial lead, can‑style device provides 10 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a bi‑polar construction for circuits where polarity may invert during operation.

Engineered for compact PCB placement, the UVP1C100MDD combines a small footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm) and 2 mm lead spacing with operating performance across –40 °C to +85 °C and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C under the series’ specified test conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance is ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design intended for applications that involve polarity inversion; series endurance tests include polarity inversion every 250 hours during 2000 hour life testing at 85 °C.
• Compact Radial Can Package — Radial lead, can‑style package with lead spacing of 2 mm and dimensional size L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm for space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for typical consumer and entertainment electronics environments.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within defined limits, and leakage current within initial specification after the test.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple currents of 42 mA at 120 Hz and 84 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients provided by the series for other operating frequencies.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Use in consumer audio/video and related entertainment devices where bi‑polar capacitors are specified for signal and coupling paths.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Suitable for general circuit decoupling, filtering, and signal conditioning in compact radial‑lead board designs.
• Circuits with Polarity Inversion — Appropriate for applications that may experience periodic polarity reversal, as reflected by the series’ endurance test conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑Polarized Design: Supports circuits where polarity can invert without requiring additional polarity protection components, simplifying system design.
• Compact Footprint: Small L×D dimensions and 2 mm lead spacing minimize PCB area while retaining can‑style robustness for radial lead assembly.
• Defined Endurance Specifications: 2000 hours at 85 °C with documented acceptance criteria (capacitance drift, tan δ, leakage current), enabling predictable long‑term behavior in thermal stress conditions.
• Frequency‑Aware Ripple Ratings: Ripple current ratings provided at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (42 mA and 84 mA respectively) plus series frequency coefficients for other frequencies to support reliable thermal and electrical design decisions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: –40 °C to +85 °C rating covers typical consumer and entertainment equipment environments.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
