UBX1C221MPL

The UBX1C221MPL is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for demanding electronics. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ10 × 16 mm package with 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for applications that require extended operation at elevated temperatures, the part is specified for operation from −55°C to +150°C and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 150°C. AEC‑Q200 registration and RoHS compliance address requirements for automotive and other heavy‑duty electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance: 220 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C — suitable for bulk storage, decoupling and smoothing functions.
• Rated Voltage: 16 V DC — for low‑voltage automotive and industrial power rails.
• High Temperature Endurance: Rated for −55°C to +150°C with 1000 hours life at 150°C, supporting continuous operation in high‑temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Performance: 201 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 300 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) — enables handling of both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple in power systems.
• Leakage and Dissipation: Leakage current listed at 105.6 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz — useful for predictable bias and loss budgeting.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, polar can with φ10 × 16 mm body, 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) — compact footprint for through‑hole assembly.
• Compliance & Reliability: AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, targeted at automotive and other reliability‑sensitive applications.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Power supply smoothing and decoupling in control modules and sensor interfaces where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high operating temperature are required.
• Power Conversion: Output filtering for DC‑DC converters and voltage regulators, leveraging the part’s ripple current capability across low and high frequencies.
• Engine Control & Motor Drive Systems: Bulk energy storage and transient suppression in modules exposed to elevated ambient temperatures up to 150°C.
• Harsh‑Environment Industrial Electronics: Filtering and smoothing in equipment operating under wide temperature swings and continuous heavy duty use.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Temperature Capability: Operation to +150°C with defined 1000‑hour endurance provides design margin for thermally demanding installations.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive development processes and qualification expectations.
• Compact Through‑Hole Form Factor: φ10 × 16 mm radial can and 5.0 mm lead spacing allow space‑constrained board layouts while retaining robust lead‑insertion mounting.
• Predictable Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz enable designers to size capacitors based on the dominant ripple spectrum in the application.
• Clear Electrical Characteristics: Specified tan δ and leakage current figures support accurate loss, thermal and bias planning during design validation.
