UVZ1C101MDD

The UVZ1C101MDD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UVZ series, offering 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Designed for general-purpose electronic circuits, it combines a compact radial can package with a wide operating temperature range and measurable ripple-handling capability.

This part is optimized for board-level through-hole use where a polarized aluminum electrolytic with defined endurance and low leakage is required.

Key Features

• Electrical characteristics — 100 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 16 V rated voltage; leakage current specified at 48 µA.
• Ripple performance — Low-frequency ripple current 115 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 172.5 mA (10 kHz) for measurable filtering and smoothing performance.
• Thermal and endurance — Rated operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Package and mounting — Radial, polarized aluminum can with dimensions approximately φ5 × 11 mm (size L:1.1 × D:0.5 cm) and 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance).
• Packaging options — Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag Packing to suit assembly and prototyping workflows.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.
• Lifecycle status — End Of Life.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — A straightforward polarized aluminum electrolytic choice for general-purpose board designs requiring 100 µF bulk capacitance at low voltage.
• Low-voltage power circuits — 16 V rating combined with specified ripple currents (115 mA at 120 Hz; 172.5 mA at 10 kHz) for filtering and smoothing in low-voltage power stages.
• Through-hole prototyping and repair — Radial-lead format and compact φ5×11 mm size make it suitable for board-level replacements and hand-assembly tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Compact radial form factor — φ5 × 11 mm can and 2.0 mm lead spacing deliver bulk capacitance in a small through-hole footprint.
• Wide temperature range — Operation from −55°C to +105°C supports a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Measured ripple capability — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies provide designers with clear limits for filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Defined endurance at elevated temperature — 1000 hours at 105°C gives a quantifiable reliability metric for thermal stress planning.
• Low leakage — Leakage current of 48 µA supports designs where standby or bias leakage is a consideration.
• RoHS compliant — Meets regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
