UVP1C102MHD

The UVP1C102MHD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package, designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It delivers 1 mF (1000 μF) capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact through‑hole form factor.

Key value comes from its bipolar construction for circuits that require non-polar operation, a wide operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C under rated voltage with periodic polarity inversion. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF (1000 μF) rated at 16 V, providing substantial bulk capacitance for through‑hole designs.
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi-polarized design suitable for applications that require non-polar operation in entertainment and general-purpose circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing and a compact case size of L: 2.5 cm × D: 1.25 cm for PCB through‑hole mounting.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range –40°C to +85°C and rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with polarity inversion test conditions as specified in the series datasheet.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 855 mA at 120 Hz and 983.2 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients for the 1000 μF class defined in the series datasheet (e.g., 1.00 at 120 Hz, 1.15 at 10 kHz).
• Tolerance & Leakage — Capacitance tolerance ±20%; leakage current specification per series: after 5 minutes at 20°C the leakage is not more than 0.03 C V (μA).
• Electrical Loss (tan δ) — Series specification for 16 V indicates a maximum tan δ of 0.22 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Materials & Marking — Pb‑free leadwire and PET sleeve configuration for the HD case family; parts are printed with white letters on a black sleeve.
• Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Suited to general-purpose circuitry in audio/video and consumer entertainment equipment where bipolar operation is required.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Bulk capacitance for through‑hole power rails and filter networks in general-purpose electronic designs.
• Through‑Hole PCB Designs — Radial lead mounting and compact can size simplify retrofit, prototyping, and repair tasks on through‑hole boards.

Unique Advantages

• Non‑polar operation: Bi-polarized construction enables use in circuits where polarity reversals or AC coupling are present without polarity constraints.
• Engineered endurance: Specified for 2000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion test conditions), providing a quantified life expectation for thermal stress scenarios.
• Documented ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz with series frequency coefficients allow designers to size capacitors against real operating spectra.
• Compact through‑hole footprint: 2.5 cm × 1.25 cm case provides high capacitance in a small radial-can package for space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• Clear verification metrics: Leakage current and tan δ limits are specified in the series datasheet, supporting measurable quality checks during design and incoming inspection.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead‑free assembly environments.
