Key Features
- 1000 µF capacitance at 16 V rating in a compact 10 mm × 10 mm SMD aluminum electrolytic package for power filtering
- 2000-hour rated lifetime at elevated temperature with maximum leakage current of 0.16 mA for stable long-term bulk decoupling
- Ripple current specification measured at 100 kHz, optimizing the CM Series for switch-mode power supply output filtering applications
Applications
The UCM1C102MNL1GS is used in switch-mode power supply output stages, DC bus bulk capacitance banks, and motor driver supply rails where 1000 µF of capacitance at 16 V is needed in a compact SMD footprint. Its 2000-hour rated lifetime makes it suitable for consumer electronics, industrial controls, and inverter boards that require long operational intervals between service. The 10 mm × 10 mm body fits standard aluminum electrolytic SMD land patterns, simplifying drop-in replacement for existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what frequency is the ripple current of the UCM1C102MNL1GS specified, and why does measurement frequency matter for SMPS designs?
The UCM1C102MNL1GS ripple current is rated and measured at 100 kHz, which is relevant because most switch-mode power supplies operate between 50 kHz and 500 kHz where equivalent series resistance (ESR) determines heating from ripple current. A 100 kHz test frequency closely matches typical SMPS switching frequencies, ensuring the 1000 µF CM Series capacitor's ripple rating accurately reflects real-world thermal performance.
For a 12 V to 5 V buck converter output filter using the UCM1C102MNL1GS, does the 16 V rating provide adequate voltage margin?
Yes, the UCM1C102MNL1GS 16 V voltage rating provides a 3.2× safety margin above a 5 V output rail, well exceeding the recommended 1.5× to 2× derating practice for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Even accounting for 5 V rail overshoot during load transients or startup, the 1000 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage keeps operating stress below 50% of the rated voltage.
How does the 10 mm × 10 mm SMD body of the UCM1C102MNL1GS affect PCB placement in designs constrained to low component height?
The UCM1C102MNL1GS stands 10 mm tall with a 10 mm diameter footprint, which may conflict with board height budgets in flat chassis designs where components must stay under 8 mm. In such cases, designers can substitute lower-profile aluminum polymer or tantalum capacitors at equivalent 1000 µF / 16 V ratings, though those alternatives typically cost more per microfarad than standard aluminum electrolytic parts like this CM Series device.
