UVP2A101MHD

The UVP2A101MHD from Nichicon is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package, designed for entertainment electronics and general-purpose use. It provides a 100 µF capacitance at a 100 V rated voltage with a bi-polar construction suitable for applications that require polarity reversal capability.

Engineered for compact assemblies, the UVP2A101MHD combines a radial lead can form factor with industry-relevant electrical and environmental characteristics, including RoHS compliance and a demonstrated endurance profile at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Construction Designed for bipolar operation and endurance testing that includes polarity inversion every 250 hours during a 2000-hour test at 85°C.
• Electrical Rating 100 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 425 mA at 120 Hz and 637.5 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics Specified leakage current: after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA). Rated tan δ for 100 V is 0.10 (max.).
• Temperature and Lifetime Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion during the test).
• Package and Mounting Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing 7.5 mm, physical size L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm and seated height max 2.5 cm for compact board layouts.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting current restricted substances requirements.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics Suited to audio and video equipment and other consumer entertainment devices where bi-polarized capacitors are required.
• General Purpose Consumer Circuits Used in general-purpose designs requiring a 100 µF, 100 V radial electrolytic capacitor with bipolar capability.
• AC or Reversible-Polarity Circuits Applicable where polarity conditions may invert during operation, supported by the product’s bi-polarized design and endurance testing.

Unique Advantages

• Bipolar-ready design: Enables use in circuits exposed to polarity reversal without requiring special handling beyond standard electrolytic practice.
• High voltage margin: 100 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage consumer and entertainment applications.
• Compact radial can: 2.5 × 1.6 cm envelope with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole placement in tight assemblies.
• Verified endurance: 2000-hour endurance at 85°C with polarity inversion demonstrates sustained performance under elevated temperature stress.
• Measurable ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz make it straightforward to evaluate thermal and ripple handling in design.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current restricted-substance directives for global consumer product compliance.
