UBX1C222MHL

The UBX1C222MHL is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UBX series designed for high-temperature, long-life applications. It provides 2200 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a laminated can construction optimized for demanding environments.

Targeted for automotive and other heavy-duty electronics, this component combines high operating-temperature capability, extended endurance, and measurable ripple-current performance to support robust power conditioning in harsh conditions.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 2200 µF capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified as 0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 804 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.2 A at 100 kHz to support DC bias plus ripple loading within rated limits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1056 µA under standard measurement conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C with a lifespan/endurance rating of 2000 hours at 150°C under specified DC bias and ripple conditions.
• Robust Package & Mounting — Radial lead (polarized) can package, diameter φ18 × length 35.5 mm, lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 designation and RoHS compliance for regulated production environments.
• Availability & Packaging — Mass-production status with bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing options for production-scale procurement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for vehicle electronic modules and systems requiring components rated for automotive-environment endurance.
• High-temperature systems — Designed for circuits that must operate reliably at temperatures up to +150°C.
• Power conditioning in harsh environments — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple current handling for designs exposed to heavy duty service conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High operating temperature: Specified −55°C to +150°C operation supports designs with elevated thermal requirements.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000-hour life rating at 150°C helps maintain performance over extended thermal stress periods.
• Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance aligns the component with automotive reliability expectations.
• Measured ripple performance: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (804 mA @120 Hz, 1.2 A @100 kHz) give clear guidance for power-rail design and thermal budgeting.
• Through-hole radial form factor: φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies replacement and assembly in conventional PCB layouts.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS-compliant construction supports use in regulated manufacturing environments.
