UHV1C222MHD

The UHV1C222MHD is a Nichicon UHV series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, offering 2200 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It combines high ripple-current capability and low impedance in a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm package designed for general-purpose power applications.

Key value propositions include high-frequency ripple handling, long endurance at elevated temperature, and wide operating temperature range, making it suitable where bulk capacitance and reliable power smoothing are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance — 2200 µF with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing substantial bulk energy storage for power filtering and decoupling.
• Rated voltage — 16 V DC rating for low-voltage power rails and general-purpose power designs.
• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.044 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.725 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under AC ripple stress.
• Low impedance — Impedance specified at 41 mΩ, delivering lower voltage drop and improved AC performance in power circuits.
• Reliability and endurance — Rated for 6000 hours at 105°C, with endurance test limits tied to capacitance change, tanδ and leakage current as specified for the UHV series.
• Operating temperature — Wide range from −40°C to +105°C for use in varied thermal environments.
• Compact radial package — φ12.5 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (tolerance ±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB designs.
• Electrical leakage and dissipation — Leakage current of 352 µA and tanδ of 0.17 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), consistent with reliable DC performance.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as specified for the UHV series.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage power rails.
• Power supply decoupling — Low impedance and specified HF ripple capability improve stability and transient response in power-supply circuits.
• Industrial and consumer electronics — Wide −40°C to +105°C temperature range and long endurance make it suitable for general-purpose electronic equipment where reliable bulk capacitance is required.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (2.044 A @120 Hz, 2.725 A @100 kHz) reduce thermal stress and extend service life under AC load.
• Low-impedance performance: 41 mΩ impedance helps minimize voltage ripple and improve power distribution efficiency on the PCB.
• Proven endurance: 6000-hour rating at 105°C provides measurable long-term performance for design planning and reliability targets.
• Compact radial form factor: φ12.5 × 20 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing balances board space savings with through-hole mounting robustness.
• Controlled leakage and dissipation: Leakage current (352 µA) and tanδ (0.17) measurements support predictable DC behavior and thermal management.
• RoHS compliant: Aligns with lead-free and hazardous-substance requirements for modern electronic assemblies.
