UES1A221MPM

The UES1A221MPM is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UES "MUSE" acoustic series, designed specifically for audio applications. It is intended for use in audio signal circuits where a bi-polarized capacitor is required.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include 220 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating, a radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Bi-polarized acoustic series: Part of Nichicon’s MUSE acoustic lineup, explicitly described as bi-polarized and suited for audio signal circuits.
• Capacitance & tolerance: 220 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C as specified for the series).
• Rated voltage: 10 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage audio circuitry.
• Operating temperature and endurance: Specified operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C, with a rated lifetime test of 1000 hours at 85 °C (endurance test performed with polarity inversion every 250 hours as described in the series data).
• Package and mounting: Radial can construction with radial leads for through-hole mounting, 5 mm lead spacing, and compact dimensions (L: 1.6 cm × D: 1.0 cm).
• Environmental compliance: RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.

Typical Applications

• Audio signal circuits: Suited for audio signal circuits as specified by the product description and datasheet.
• Audio equipment: Applicable in audio-focused consumer or professional equipment where a bi-polarized capacitor from the MUSE acoustic series is required.
• Through-hole PCB assemblies: Radial lead, can-style package and 5 mm lead spacing facilitate manual or wave solder assembly in through-hole designs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused design: The UES1A221MPM is part of Nichicon’s MUSE acoustic series, explicitly intended for audio signal use.
• Bi-polarized operation: Bi-polarized construction supports applications that require non-polar behavior in the signal path.
• Compact, mountable package: Radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint (1.6 cm × 1.0 cm) for space-constrained through-hole boards.
• Tested endurance: Series endurance characterized by 1000 hours at 85 °C (with polarity inversion during the test), providing documented stability under elevated-temperature stress conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance per 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 for environmental requirement alignment.
• Clear specification set: Provided nominal values—220 µF, 10 V, ±20% tolerance, and −40 °C to 85 °C operating range—support straightforward design decisions.
