UHV0J221MDD

The UHV0J221MDD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UHV series designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling in compact through-hole assemblies. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a small φ5 × 11 mm can, combining high ripple-handling capability with lower impedance at higher frequencies.

With an operating range from -40°C to 105°C and a rated endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C, this component is suited for space-constrained designs that require predictable performance over extended thermal stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for low-voltage smoothing and bulk decoupling.
• High ripple handling: Designed for high ripple environments with specified ripple currents of 180 mA (120 Hz) and 360 mA (100 kHz), supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple demands.
• Low-loss performance: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.21 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation under nominal conditions.
• Leakage current: Low leakage performance specified at 13.86 µA, measured under the product’s defined conditions.
• Thermal and endurance rating: Rated for operation from -40°C to 105°C with a life specification of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact radial-lead package: Small φ5 × 11 mm can with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk/bag packing for through-hole assembly or prototyping.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements as noted in the product data.
• Series characteristics: Part of the UHV family characterized by lower impedance at high frequency ranges and a focus on high ripple, low-impedance performance.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing: Local bulk capacitance and output filtering for low-voltage DC regulators where a compact through-hole capacitor is required.
• Decoupling in embedded systems: Board-level decoupling for small form-factor consumer or industrial electronics benefiting from high ripple capability and compact size.
• Signal and power conditioning: Filtering and ripple suppression in modules that face both low- and high-frequency ripple components, leveraging the UHV series’ lower impedance at higher frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Space-saving footprint: φ5 × 11 mm can delivers 220 µF in a very compact radial-lead package for constrained PCB real estate.
• Dual-frequency ripple support: Specified ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide clear guidance for designs handling both mains-frequency and switching-frequency ripple.
• Predictable dissipation: Defined tan δ (0.21 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current figures help engineers model thermal and leakage budgets accurately.
• Wide operating temperature: Rated from -40°C to 105°C to cover a broad range of consumer and industrial ambient conditions.
• Through-hole convenience: Radial lead format and bulk/bag packaging simplify prototyping, repair, and low-volume assembly processes.
