The UCY2H220MHD3 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCY series, rated 22 µF at 500 V. Designed for high-voltage power applications, it combines compact radial-can packaging (φ18 × 20L) with high ripple handling and long endurance.

Targeted use cases include automotive and industrial power-supply and ballast applications that require a high-voltage capacitor with reliable long-term performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• High Voltage Rating — Rated for 500 V to support high-voltage power circuits.
• Capacitance and Tolerance — 22 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 280 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 560 mA (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under varying frequency loads.
• Long Endurance — Load-life specification of 10000 hours at 105°C for sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low Leakage and Defined Dissipation — Specified leakage current of 540 µA and tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable electrical behavior.
• Robust Temperature Range — Operating from −40°C to +105°C to support wide environmental conditions.
• Radial Lead Can Package — φ18 × 20L radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and conventional assembly methods.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — Qualification and RoHS compliance noted in the product data supporting regulated and reliability-conscious designs.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to suit board-assembly logistics.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Systems — Suitable for automotive electrical systems where a 500 V rating, high ripple capability, and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.
• Power Supplies — Used for smoothing and energy buffering in high-voltage power-supply designs and ballast applications, leveraging its high ripple current and long life at 105°C.
• Industrial Equipment — Applies to industrial power modules and systems that demand stable capacitance and controlled leakage over extended operating temperatures and long service life.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 500 V rating enables use in demanding power stages where lower-voltage capacitors are insufficient.
• Designed for continuous load: 10000-hour endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and long service intervals in hot operating environments.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling: Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies (280 mA at 120 Hz, 560 mA at 100 kHz) supports diverse power-system profiles.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports selection for vehicle electronics and other applications requiring automotive reliability standards.
• Compact radial form factor: φ18 × 20L can and 7.5 mm lead spacing deliver a space-efficient through-hole solution for power PCBs.
• Predictable electrical performance: Defined tan δ and leakage current values at 20°C and 120 Hz aid circuit designers in stability and loss calculations.
