UVZ1C100MDD

The UVZ1C100MDD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVZ series. It is a polarized, standard-type capacitor designed for general-purpose board-level applications where a compact footprint, wide operating temperature range and reliable performance are required.

Key value comes from its small φ5 × 11 mm can, 16 V rated voltage, and series-level wide temperature capability, combined with a 1000-hour endurance at 105°C. Note: this part is marked End Of Life.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 10 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, delivering predictable performance for decoupling and filtering.
• Rated voltage and polarity — 16 V rated voltage; polarized design for DC power-supply applications.
• Ripple current handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 35 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 70 mA (10 kHz), supporting common board-level smoothing tasks across frequency ranges.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current of 4.8 µA for controlled standby currents in low-leakage designs.
• Thermal and reliability — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with 1000-hour endurance at 105°C (life/endurance specified), suitable for extended thermal stress within that range.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead, can-style package sized φ5 × 11 mm (0.5 × 1.1 cm) with 2 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for board-level assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Board-level power filtering — Fits compact PCBs for local decoupling and smoothing at 16 V supply rails thanks to its small φ5 × 11 mm package.
• Embedded and consumer electronics — General-purpose DC filtering where a polarized aluminum electrolytic with controlled leakage and defined ripple ratings is required.
• Industrial control modules — Use in compact modules that require a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and defined endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact radial can — Small φ5 × 11 mm footprint and 2 mm lead spacing enable tight board layouts and space savings on densely populated PCBs.
• Wide temperature operation — Rated for −55°C to +105°C, aligning with Nichicon UVZ series’ wide temperature range for reliable performance across varied environments.
• Defined endurance — 1000-hour rating at 105°C provides a clear reliability target for thermal-stressed designs.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling — Specified ripple current values at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies support smoothing across common switching and line-frequency scenarios.
• Low standby leakage — 4.8 µA leakage current helps control quiescent power draw in battery-backed or low-power circuits.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory and environmental considerations.
