UVP1C331MPD

The UVP1C331MPD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics applications. Its radial-lead can package provides a compact 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating for circuits that require non-polar capacitor performance.

Key value is delivered through a combination of robust endurance (2000 h at 85°C), measurable ripple-handling capability at both low and high frequencies, low leakage current, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for volume production and prototyping where reliable, repeatable capacitor performance is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 330 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage & Polarization — 16 V rated voltage in a bi-polarized configuration suitable for AC or inverted-polarity applications where a non-polar capacitor is required.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 375 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 562.5 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing and AC performance across a range of frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 158.4 µA after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial-lead can package (φ10 × 16L) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied as bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for assembly and prototyping.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
• Production Status — Mass production availability for volume designs and repeatable sourcing.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Designed as part of Nichicon’s standard bi-polarized series for entertainment equipment where bi-polar capacitor behavior is required.
• General-Purpose Electronic Circuits — Power smoothing, decoupling and AC performance in circuits requiring a 330 µF, 16 V bi-polarized capacitor.
• Prototyping and Bulk Assembly — Bulk and bag packing options support prototyping and higher-volume assembly workflows.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polarized design: Eliminates polarity constraints typical of polarized electrolytics, simplifying use in AC-coupled and polarity-variable circuits.
• Measurable ripple handling: Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz (375 mA) and 10 kHz (562.5 mA) enable designers to compare and size capacitors for specific frequency conditions.
• Compact radial can: φ10 × 16L radial-lead package with 5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint for space-constrained layouts.
• Durability at elevated temperature: 2000-hour endurance at 85°C supports applications that require sustained operation at higher ambient temperatures.
• Low leakage: 158.4 µA specified leakage current supports predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
• RoHS compliant and production-ready: Environmentally compliant construction and mass-production status simplify procurement and regulatory compliance.
