UVZ2C101MHD

The UVZ2C101MHD is a radial-lead, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVZ series. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can, designed for general-purpose electronic applications.

Key value comes from its wide operating range (−40 °C to +105 °C), defined endurance (2000 hours at 105 °C), and standard radial-lead packaging options (bulk / bag) for through-hole assembly and prototyping.

Key Features

• Electrical performance: 100 µF nominal capacitance with capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and rated voltage 160 V.
• Loss characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.20 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) for 160 V parts, enabling predictable loss behavior in design.
• Leakage current: Rated leakage current specified at 740 µA for this part number.
• Ripple current capability: Low-frequency ripple current 215 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 344 mA at 10 kHz, documented for AC ripple handling across frequencies.
• Reliability and endurance: Life rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C with post-test limits: capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ not more than 200% of initial, and leakage current less than or equal to initial specified value.
• Thermal and environmental: Rated operating temperature range −40 °C to +105 °C and RoHS compliant.
• Mechanical and packaging: Radial can package with dimensions φ12.5 × 25 mm, lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm), and available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Identification: Marked with white lettering on a black sleeve for clear part identification.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits: Suited where a polarized radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 100 µF and 160 V rating is required across −40 °C to +105 °C.
• Through-hole assembly and prototyping: Radial lead form and bulk/bag packaging enable easy manual insertion and replacement during prototyping, repair, or low-volume production.
• Equipment requiring defined endurance: Applications that need documented 2000-hour performance at 105 °C with specified post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operating temperature window: −40 °C to +105 °C rating supports designs exposed to broad temperature conditions.
• Clear endurance specification: 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined acceptance criteria provides predictable long-term behavior for thermal-stressed designs.
• Frequency-aware ripple data: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (215 mA at 120 Hz, 344 mA at 10 kHz) simplify ripple budgeting across operating frequencies.
• Compact radial-can footprint: φ12.5 × 25 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing fit common through-hole board layouts while offering substantial capacitance and voltage.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
• Standardized marking and packaging: White-on-black sleeve marking and bulk/bag packing streamline identification and handling in manufacturing and service.
