UFG1C222MHM

The UFG1C222MHM is a high‑grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, designed specifically for audio and AV equipment. It is a polarized radial‑lead can capacitor offering 2.2 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating, optimized for applications that value acoustic performance and reliable power filtering.

Built with acoustic‑focused etching techniques and RoHS compliance, this capacitor provides a tonal profile described as rich in the bass register and clearer in the high end while delivering electrical characteristics suitable for general‑purpose audio circuits.

Key Features

• Acoustic‑focused design Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; manufactured using state‑of‑the‑art etching techniques to support richer bass and clearer high end in audio applications.
• Electrical rating 2.2 mF capacitance at 16 V with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C), suitable for filtering and decoupling in low‑voltage audio circuits.
• Ripple handling Rated ripple current of 1.29 A at 120 Hz and 1.484 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing in both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments.
• Package and mounting Radial lead, can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and a compact footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm) for through‑hole board layouts.
• Operating and endurance characteristics Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature and specified endurance of 1000 hours at 85 °C with capacitance change within specified limits after the endurance test.
• Low leakage expectation Leakage current specification: after one minute at rated voltage and 20 °C, not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater), per the series specification.
• Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio and AV equipment — Suited for signal and power filtering in high‑grade audio systems and AV components where tonal characteristics are important.
• General‑purpose electronic circuits — Polarized capacitor for decoupling, smoothing, and energy storage in low‑voltage board designs.
• Consumer audio devices — Appropriate for use in consumer‑facing audio products requiring compact radial electrolytic capacitors with defined acoustic properties.

Unique Advantages

• Acoustic tuning from manufacturing — MUSE "Fine Gold" series etching techniques are specified to influence frequency response, supporting design goals for richer bass and clearer highs.
• Measurable ripple capacity — Dual ripple current specifications (1.29 A at 120 Hz and 1.484 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to evaluate performance across typical audio power supply frequencies.
• Compact radial can — Small footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing facilitate placement in tight through‑hole layouts common in audio PCB designs.
• Defined endurance and temperature range — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C with a 1000 h endurance rating at 85 °C, providing predictable performance over time under specified thermal stress.
• Low leakage expectation — Series leakage current limit (0.01CV or 3 µA) supports low‑leakage requirements in precision audio circuits.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports integration into designs targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
