UVZ1C331MPD

The UVZ1C331MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UVZ series, offering 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs, it delivers stable capacitance, measurable loss characteristics, and rated ripple handling in a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm package.

Key value comes from a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), a 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C, and mounting-friendly radial leads with 3.5 mm lead spacing, making it suitable for a broad set of board-level power and decoupling applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 330 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C; rated voltage 16 V and polarized construction for typical electrolytic use.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; specified leakage current 158.4 µA for predictable standby behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 265 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 397.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing on DC rails across frequencies.
• Thermal and Endurance — Rated for −55 °C to +105 °C operation with a lifetime/endurance of 1000 hours at 105 °C (φD = 8), supporting sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with radial leads, 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), and a seated height of 11.5 mm for tight board-level integration.
• Packaging & Compliance — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk capacitance and specified ripple current ratings support smoothing and decoupling on 16 V rails.
• Embedded and general-purpose electronics — Compact radial form factor and wide temperature range suit a variety of board-level power applications in consumer and industrial equipment.
• Rail stabilization — Low-frequency and high-frequency ripple current specifications help stabilize DC rail voltage under varying load conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Wide temperature capability — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C, enabling use across broad environmental conditions without package size penalties.
• Measured loss specification — tanδ = 0.20 at 20 °C, 120 Hz provides a clear characterization of dielectric loss for design verification.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling — Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide designers with quantifiable performance for both low- and high-frequency regimes.
• Short-term high-temperature endurance — 1000 hours at 105 °C supports applications requiring reliable performance under elevated operating temperatures.
• Compact PCB footprint — φ8 × 11.5 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing allow efficient placement in space-constrained layouts.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant for designs targeting restricted substances requirements.
