UFG1H221MHM

The UFG1H221MHM is a high-grade, audio-oriented aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series. It is a radial-leaded, polarized can-style capacitor designed for AV and high-grade audio equipment, engineered with state-of-the-art etching techniques to enhance acoustic performance.

Key value propositions include audio-focused performance characteristics for richer bass and clearer high end, a robust operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C, and compliance with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Audio-Optimized Dielectric Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; designed using advanced etching techniques to emphasize richer bass register and clearer high-frequency response for AV and audio equipment.
• Electrical Ratings 220 µF nominal capacitance at 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for general-purpose audio filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Ripple Handling Specified ripple current of 390 mA at 120 Hz and 585 mA at 10 kHz, supporting moderate AC ripple conditions typically encountered in audio power supplies and preamp stages.
• Temperature and Lifetime Operating range from −40 °C to 85 °C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, enabling reliable performance in consumer AV environments.
• Radial Through-Hole Package Radial lead, can-style construction with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2 cm × D: 1.25 cm), suited for through-hole PCB layouts and manual or wave-solder assembly.
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for restricted substances.
• Marking Printed with black lettering on a gold sleeve for clear identification in production and servicing.

Typical Applications

• High-Fidelity Audio Equipment — Used for power supply smoothing and audio path decoupling to help deliver richer bass and clearer highs in preamplifiers, amplifiers, and DACs.
• Home AV Systems — Employed in AV receivers and surround-sound components where stable decoupling and moderate ripple handling are needed.
• Consumer Electronics — Suitable for general-purpose filtering and energy storage in consumer audio devices that require a compact radial electrolytic capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-Centric Design: The MUSE "Fine Gold" acoustic series uses specialized etching techniques to tune sound characteristics for richer bass and clearer highs.
• Clear Specification Alignment: Explicit electrical ratings (220 µF, 50 V, ±20%) and ripple current values (120 Hz and 10 kHz) make performance expectations verifiable during design and validation.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor: Radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing and small footprint simplifies integration into existing through-hole PCBs.
• Wide Operating Range and Defined Lifetime: −40 °C to 85 °C operating range and 1000 hours at 85 °C endurance provide predictable behavior for consumer AV environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports environments and markets that require restricted-substance compliance.
