UVY1C331MED

The UVY1C331MED from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UVY series, specified for general-purpose applications. It delivers 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with polarized radial can packaging and a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.

Designed for board-level use where a compact, leaded electrolytic capacitor is required, this part offers defined ripple current ratings, low-frequency and high-frequency performance metrics, and a 1000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 330 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.20 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, specifying dissipation characteristics for AC conditions.
• Ripple Current Ratings: Low-frequency ripple current of 225 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 337.5 mA at 10 kHz, allowing specification against expected AC stress levels.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 158.4 µA after rated-voltage application, enabling predictable standby and bias current budgeting.
• Endurance: Rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, meeting the UVY series endurance requirement for φ8 sizes.
• Temperature Range: Wide operating range from -55°C to +105°C for deployment across varied thermal environments.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, polarized can measuring φ6.3 × 11 mm (D: 6.3 mm, L: 11 mm / D: 0.63 cm, L: 1.1 cm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm).
• Packaging Options: Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) and Bag Packing to support different assembly workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics: Suited for applications that require a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for board-level power components in consumer and industrial electronics.
• Power Filtering and Smoothing: Useful where defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings are required to size capacitors for filtering tasks.
• Compact Board Designs: The φ6.3 × 11 mm radial can is appropriate for compact assemblies that use leaded components.

Unique Advantages

• Defined AC Loss Characteristics: Specified tan δ of 0.20 at 120 Hz and 20°C provides predictable dissipation behavior for system-level thermal and ripple analysis.
• Dual-Frequency Ripple Ratings: Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow accurate selection based on expected operating frequency content.
• Wide Temperature Endurance: Rated operation from -55°C to +105°C and 1000-hour endurance at 105°C supports long-term use in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: The small φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing optimizes PCB space while maintaining through-hole mounting robustness.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS, aligning with environmental requirements for commercial and industrial products.
