UFG1E220MDM

The UFG1E220MDM from Nichicon is a high-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, designed for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a radial lead, polarized can type intended for audio-focused applications where a tailored acoustic character and compact footprint are required.

This part combines a 22 µF capacitance at 25 V with a compact radial can package, RoHS compliance, and specified ripple and endurance characteristics to support reliable performance in audio circuitry and general-purpose electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio-focused acoustic series — Part of Nichicon’s "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series using etching techniques intended to deliver richer bass register and clearer high end for AV and audio equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with a lead spacing of 2.0 mm; compact body dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm and seated height up to 1.1 cm for space-constrained boards.
• Polarized Design — Polar electrolytic construction for typical DC coupling and decoupling use in audio and general-purpose circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C with a specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C (endurance measured with rated voltage applied).
• Ripple Handling — Specified ripple current: 50 mA at 120 Hz and 100 mA at 10 kHz to address low- and high-frequency ripple in audio power and signal circuits.
• Loss & Leakage — Capacitance tolerance and dissipation characteristics follow the UFG series specifications (tan δ for 25 V ≤ 0.14 at 120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current per datasheet condition applies.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Identification — Marked with black printing on a gold sleeve for clear component identification.

Typical Applications

• High‑End Audio Amplifiers — Used for coupling, decoupling, and power filtering where the series’ acoustic characteristics help shape bass and high‑end clarity.
• AV Equipment — Suited for audio/video systems requiring compact capacitors that contribute to improved audio reproduction.
• Audio Signal Conditioning — Employed in input/output and signal path networks for audio circuits where polarized electrolytic capacitors are required.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Applicable to a wide range of consumer and professional electronic designs that need a small radial electrolytic with specified endurance and ripple ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Acoustic tuning for audio designs: The Fine Gold MUSE series and etching techniques are presented to provide richer bass response and clearer high end, aligning the component’s characteristics with audio-focused circuit goals.
• Compact radial can package: Small body dimensions and 2.0 mm lead spacing enable use in space‑constrained PCBs while retaining axial stability through radial lead mounting.
• Defined ripple capability: Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to assess suitability for both low‑frequency power filtering and higher‑frequency decoupling tasks.
• Rated endurance at elevated temperature: 1000 hours at 85°C with rated voltage applied provides a clear baseline for lifetime planning in typical operating environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious designs and regulatory alignment.
• Clear identification: Black printing on a gold sleeve simplifies inventory and assembly verification in production environments.
