UBX1E221MHL

The UBX1E221MHL is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UBX series, engineered for high-temperature and long-life applications. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm can and 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding environments—including automotive electronics—the part delivers high-temperature capability (–55°C to +150°C), AEC-Q200 compliance, and endurance suited to heavy-duty service and extended operation.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 220 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Rated Voltage — 25 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage power rails and decoupling.
• High-Temperature Operation — Specified operating range from –55°C to +150°C, enabling use in elevated-temperature environments.
• Long Endurance — 1000 hours rated life at 150°C (φ12.5 case), supporting extended service life under high-temperature bias conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ of 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for controlled ESR-related losses in filter designs.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 335 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 500 mA (100 kHz) for reliable filtering across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — 165 µA specified leakage current.
• Mechanical Profile — φ12.5 × 20 mm can, radial-lead mounting with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), packaged in bulk or bag for flexible assembly handling.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 compliant and RoHS compliant for regulated applications and environments.
• Laminated Case Design — Part of a laminated case series intended for rugged service where heavy-duty reliability is required.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power smoothing and decoupling in control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk filtering and ripple suppression on low-voltage power rails, leveraging the 220 µF capacitance and rated ripple currents.
• Industrial Controls — Energy storage and decoupling in motor drives, sensor interfaces, and embedded controllers operating in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Backup/Hold-up Circuits — Short-term energy hold-up where compact size and controlled leakage current support stable system behavior during brief interruptions.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature robustness: Rated to +150°C with 1000 hours endurance at that temperature (φ12.5), enabling designs for harsh thermal environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance provides a documented reliability baseline for vehicle electronics and other mission-critical systems.
• Frequency-aware ripple handling: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz helps designers size the capacitor for real-world filtering across frequencies.
• Compact radial form factor: φ12.5 × 20 mm can and 5.0 mm lead spacing deliver a small footprint for space-constrained layouts while keeping easy through-hole mounting.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports use in regulated markets and simplifies compliance management.
• Production-ready packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing and listed as mass production, facilitating volume procurement and assembly.
