UFG1A222MHM

The UFG1A222MHM is a Nichicon UFG series high grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio and AV equipment. It is part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series and uses advanced etching techniques to deliver audio-focused performance characteristics.

This radial-lead, polarized capacitor provides 2.2 mF capacitance at 10 V with a compact can package and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for general-purpose use in high-grade audio applications where low-frequency performance and clear high end are important.

Key Features

• Acoustic-grade construction — Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, produced with state-of-the-art etching techniques to support rich bass and clearer high end in AV/audio systems.
• Capacitance & voltage — Rated capacitance: 2.2 mF; Rated voltage: 10 V; designed for low-frequency energy storage and coupling in audio circuits.
• Polarized radial can package — Radial lead mounting type in a can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm).
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range: −40°C to +85°C with a rated life of 1000 hours at 85°C, meeting endurance and shelf-life criteria defined in the product series specifications.
• Ripple handling — Ripple current capability: 1.047 A at 120 Hz and 1.204 A at 10 kHz, supporting power-supply smoothing and decoupling in audio power stages.
• Tolerance and polarity — Capacitance tolerance: −20% to +20%; polarized device for correct orientation in circuit designs.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Equipment — Used for signal coupling, power smoothing, and energy storage where the MUSE acoustic series’ sonic characteristics enhance bass depth and high-end clarity.
• AV Equipment — Suited for audio/video systems that benefit from tailored low-frequency response and reduced audible artifacts.
• Power Supply Decoupling for Audio Circuits — 2.2 mF capacitance and specified ripple currents support smoothing and decoupling in low-voltage audio power rails.
• General Purpose Electronics — Applicable where a compact, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with defined temperature rating and endurance is required.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused design: The "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic lineage and etching techniques provide targeted sonic attributes—richer bass register and clearer high end—useful for AV and audio designs.
• Compact radial package: Small can dimensions (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify board layout in space-constrained audio assemblies.
• Defined ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support reliable filtering and smoothing in power paths for audio electronics.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +85°C rating allows use across typical consumer and pro‑audio environments.
• Endurance-backed: 1000 hours at 85°C life rating provides verifiable durability for demanding operating conditions.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directive requirements for environmentally restricted substances.
