UVZ2C100MPD

The UVZ2C100MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVZ series. It delivers 10 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating in a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose electronic circuits.

Targeted for applications that require a wide operating range and stable performance, this part combines a −40 °C to 105 °C operating temperature window, defined ripple-current capability, and a 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C (for φD = 8) for reliable long-term use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF nominal capacitance rated at 160 V for applications requiring moderate energy storage in a compact radial package.
• Tolerance: ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C, allowing predictable design margins.
• Package & Mounting: Radial-lead, φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (φ8 × 11.5L); compatible with through-hole, hand or wave-solder assembly in general-purpose assemblies.
• Temperature Range: Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C operation, matching the UVZ series category for 160 V parts.
• Endurance: 1000 hours at 105 °C (specified for φD = 8), providing defined lifetime performance for high-temperature applications.
• Electrical Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 41 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 65.6 mA at 10 kHz, with leakage current of 164 µA as specified.
• Loss Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 (measurement frequency: 120 Hz at 20 °C) for predictable dissipation behavior.
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directives as called out for the UVZ series.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power electronics: Suitable for smoothing and decoupling in circuits that require a 160 V rated aluminum electrolytic capacitor with compact footprint.
• Industrial control equipment: Applicable where a −40 °C to 105 °C operating range and defined endurance at elevated temperature are required.
• Embedded and PCB assemblies: Through-hole radial mounting with 3.5 mm lead spacing fits common PCB layouts for general circuit functions.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 160 V rating supports higher-voltage circuits while retaining a small φ8 can size.
• Compact, serviceable package: φ8 × 11.5 mm radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing makes placement and replacement straightforward in through-hole designs.
• Defined ripple-handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers size components for both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Temperature and endurance specification: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range with 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C (φD = 8) provides predictable lifetime behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation: Leakage current (164 µA) and tan δ (0.20) are specified for accurate power-loss and leakage budgeting in designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for environmentally constrained designs.
