UFG1J221MHM

The UFG1J221MHM is a Nichicon UFG series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-can package designed for high-grade audio and AV equipment. As part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, it is optimized for audio applications where richer bass and clearer high end are desired.

This polarized, general-purpose capacitor offers 220 µF capacitance at 63 V rated voltage, RoHS compliance, and form-factor and electrical characteristics suitable for power filtering, coupling/decoupling and other audio-related circuitry.

Key Features

• Audio‑grade design — Part of Nichicon's "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; described for richer bass register and clearer high end in AV/audio equipment.
• Electrical rating — 220 µF capacitance with 63 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, supporting a range of DC power and filtering needs.
• Ripple performance — Rated ripple current of 420 mA at 120 Hz and 630 mA at 10 kHz to support steady filtering under typical audio ripple conditions.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing; compact footprint (L: 2.00 cm × D: 1.25 cm) for through‑hole PCB layouts.
• Reliability and temperature — Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with endurance rated to 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Polarized — Designed for DC circuits where polarized electrolytic capacitance is required.
• RoHS compliant — Complies with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Marking — Printed with black characters on gold sleeve as per series marking convention.

Typical Applications

• Audio amplifiers and preamplifiers — Use for power filtering, supply decoupling and coupling where audio tonal characteristics are important.
• AV receivers and home theater — Bulk and smoothing capacitance in power rails to support stable, low-noise operation in AV systems.
• Consumer audio electronics — General-purpose filtering and decoupling in music players, DACs and other audio-focused devices.

Unique Advantages

• Acoustic tuning — MUSE "Fine Gold" series description highlights audible improvements (richer bass, clearer high end), helpful when component selection impacts sound signature.
• Measured ripple capability — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support filtering across low and higher ripple frequency content.
• Compact radial can — Small footprint and 5 mm lead spacing enable space-efficient through‑hole designs and straightforward PCB assembly.
• Broad operating range — −40 °C to +85 °C rating and 1000 h endurance at 85 °C provide predictable performance in typical consumer and AV operating environments.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance aids regulatory alignment for commercial and consumer products.
• Clear identification — Distinctive gold sleeve with black marking simplifies part identification during assembly and service.
