UFG1H220MEM

The UFG1H220MEM is a Nichicon UFG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic lineup, designed for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a polarized, radial-lead, can-type capacitor specified at 22 µF and 50 V, offering audio-focused performance characteristics such as enriched bass response and clearer high end.

Built for general-purpose use in audio applications, the UFG1H220MEM combines compact radial packaging and RoHS compliance with endurance and ripple-handling data suitable for demanding AV circuits.

Key Features

• Audio-Optimized Series Part of Nichicon's "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; engineered with etching techniques to emphasize richer bass and clearer high-frequency response for AV and audio equipment.
• Electrical Characteristics Rated capacitance 22 µF at 50 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized design for DC-coupled circuits.
• Ripple Handling Specified ripple current of 65 mA at 120 Hz and 130 mA at 10 kHz, enabling stable performance under typical audio-frequency and higher-frequency ripple conditions.
• Temperature and Endurance Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing 2.5 mm and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm); polar mounting for board-level insertion.
• Regulatory Compliance Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑Grade AV Receivers and Amplifiers — Used where enhanced bass definition and clearer highs contribute to improved audio fidelity in signal-path and coupling applications.
• Home Theater and Audio Components — Suited for consumer AV equipment that requires audio-focused capacitors in power-supply filtering and decoupling roles.
• Hi‑Fi and Integrated Audio Systems — Fits compact PCB layouts requiring radial-lead components with validated endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-Specific Sound Tuning The MUSE "Fine Gold" acoustic treatment and etching techniques are targeted to deliver richer bass and clearer high end for AV use.
• Compact Radial Can Small footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in dense audio PCBs while retaining radial mechanical robustness.
• Wide Operating Range Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C, supporting a broad set of ambient conditions common in consumer AV environments.
• Endurance Characterized Specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C provides a measurable reliability baseline for design planning.
• Frequency-Relevant Ripple Specs Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers assess performance for both mains-frequency and higher-frequency audio-related ripple.
• RoHS Compliant Meets current RoHS requirements, easing regulatory considerations for consumer equipment.
