UVZ2C102MRD

The UVZ2C102MRD is a Nichicon UVZ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can package, offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating. It is designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that require bulk energy storage and power smoothing in a compact radial form factor.

This part is RoHS‑compliant and specified for operation from -40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C. Note: the UVZ2C102MRD is currently listed as End Of Life.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1000 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 160 V rated voltage, suitable for medium‑voltage DC applications.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low‑frequency ripple current of 1.31 A (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current of 1.506 A (10 kHz) for improved AC ripple tolerance.
• Leakage and Polarization — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with specified leakage current of 6500 µA.
• Thermal & Endurance — Rated operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C as defined by the UVZ series specifications.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package with dimensions φ25 × 50L and lead spacing of 12.5 mm (±0.5 mm), compatible with through‑hole assemblies.
• Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit prototyping and production handling.
• Regulatory — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose power smoothing — Bulk capacitance and 160 V rating make the UVZ2C102MRD suitable for smoothing DC rails in equipment where medium voltage energy storage is required.
• Energy storage for intermediate DC links — 1000 µF capacitance provides local energy reserve for transient load support in general‑purpose electronics.
• Power supply decoupling — Radial lead can package enables through‑hole decoupling and filtering in standard power supply assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage rating (160 V) — Supports applications requiring medium DC voltage handling without stacking multiple lower‑voltage capacitors.
• Robust ripple capability — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (1.31 A at 120 Hz and 1.506 A at 10 kHz) for improved AC performance.
• Wide operating temperature — −40°C to +105°C range allows deployment across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life characteristics for thermal‑stress environments.
• Practical mechanical footprint — φ25 × 50L radial can with 12.5 mm lead spacing simplifies replacement and board layout for through‑hole designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in compliant assemblies.
