UVZ1C102MPD

The UVZ1C102MPD is a Nichicon UVZ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose power applications that require bulk capacitance, ripple handling and wide operating temperature range.

Key attributes include a compact φ10 × 16 mm can, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing, and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 105 °C—delivering reliable smoothing and decoupling performance in through-hole designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1000 µF (1 mF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.20 specified at 20 °C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating, supporting predictable ESR-related behavior for power filtering.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 560 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 644 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC ripple across a range of frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 480 µA to help estimate standby losses and initial DC leakage during design validation.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C, matching the UVZ series' wide temperature performance for 6.3 to 100 V products.
• Endurance — 2000 hours at 105 °C with specified limits on capacitance change and tanδ, suitable for designs requiring defined life performance.
• Mechanical and Mounting — Radial lead can with φ10 × 16 mm size, 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and lead diameter 0.6 mm for the φ10 case—compatible with standard through-hole assemblies.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing. Mass production status ensures availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage DC rails where 1000 µF at 16 V is required.
• Power supply reservoirs — Energy storage and ripple reduction in linear and switching regulator output stages within the specified temperature and lifetime limits.
• Consumer and industrial electronics — Through-hole implementations that need a compact, high-capacitance electrolytic with robust temperature endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in a compact package — 1000 µF in a φ10 × 16 mm can provides substantial capacitance while minimizing PCB footprint for through-hole designs.
• Defined high-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105 °C gives quantifiable life expectations for applications exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Multi-frequency ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across low and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Wide operating temperature — −55 °C to +105 °C rating supports deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions covered by the UVZ family.
• Through-hole assembly friendly — Radial leads with 5 mm spacing and 0.6 mm lead diameter simplify manual or wave-solder through-hole assembly processes.
• Regulatory readiness — RoHS compliance aligns with common environmental requirements for electronic components.
