UVZ2C3R3MED

The UVZ2C3R3MED is a Nichicon UVZ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, specified at 3.3 µF and a 160 V rated voltage for general-purpose through-hole designs. It combines a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm package and 2.5 mm lead spacing for straightforward integration on PCBs that require a high-voltage electrolytic solution.

Engineered for extended operation across a wide temperature range (−40°C to 105°C) and rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, this part delivers predictable electrical behavior with documented tanδ, leakage, and ripple current values for reliable filtering and decoupling in industrial and consumer applications. The product is RoHS compliant and supplied in bulk or bag packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 3.3 µF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage for higher-voltage general-purpose circuits.
• Loss Characteristics (tan δ) — tanδ 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 160 V rating, enabling predictable dissipation behavior in AC conditions at line frequency.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 92.8 µA for stable DC performance.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 30 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 48 mA at 10 kHz, supporting filtering across a range of frequencies.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −40°C to 105°C with a rated life of 1000 hours at 105°C, providing endurance for elevated-temperature environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ6.3 × 11 mm, lead spacing 2.5 mm with a 0.5 mm tolerance; available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag Packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as part of Nichicon’s UVZ series.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Use for line-frequency and switching regulator output smoothing where a 160 V rating and defined ripple handling reduce output ripple and improve regulation.
• Decoupling and filtering — Effective for decoupling in medium-voltage circuits and for filtering applications that require stable capacitance and controlled loss at 120 Hz and higher frequencies.
• Signal coupling and DC blocking — Suitable for through-hole designs that require compact, polarized capacitance for coupling or blocking at elevated voltages.
• Industrial and consumer electronics — Fits general-purpose roles in instrumentation, controls, and other PCB-mounted equipment needing a reliable radial electrolytic capacitor with wide temperature capability.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability in a compact package — 160 V rating in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can enables designers to meet voltage requirements without moving to much larger components.
• Predictable AC and DC behavior — Specified tanδ, leakage current, and ripple current values allow designers to size and model capacitor behavior precisely in power and filter networks.
• Wide operating temperature with rated endurance — −40°C to 105°C operation and 1000-hour life at 105°C help maintain performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Through-hole radial format — Radial lead mounting simplifies prototyping, repairability, and integration into legacy or industrial PCBs.
• Layout-friendly lead spacing — 2.5 mm lead spacing with 0.5 mm tolerance supports accurate PCB placement and manufacturing consistency.
• RoHS compliance — Meets RoHS directive requirements as part of the UVZ series.
