UKA1C222MHD

The UKA1C222MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKA series, designed specifically for high‑grade audio equipment. It provides 2.2 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact radial can package, delivering reliable decoupling and energy storage across a wide temperature range.

Key value propositions include wide operating temperature capability, industry-grade endurance, and ripple‑current performance tuned for audio power circuits and related applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 2.2 mF (2,200 μF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suited for audio power smoothing and decoupling.
• Temperature Range and Endurance: Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 2,000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term stability in thermally demanding audio environments.
• Ripple Current Performance: Ripple current ratings of 920 mA at 120 Hz and 1.058 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective filtering of low- and high-frequency ripple components in audio power supplies.
• Mechanical and Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 2 cm × D: 1.25 cm), facilitating straightforward PCB mounting in constrained audio assemblies.
• Reliability Standards: Includes AEC‑Q200 rating and polarized construction; leakage and tan δ characteristics are specified per Nichicon UKA series requirements.

Typical Applications

• High‑grade Audio Equipment: Ideal for smoothing and energy buffering in premium hi‑fi components where stable capacitance and wide temperature performance are required.
• Audio Power Amplifiers and Preamps: Serves as power rail decoupling and bulk storage to support transient current demands in amplifier designs.
• Audio Power Supply Filtering: Effective for ripple reduction and filtering in audio-oriented power supplies, leveraging its specified ripple current capability at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused specification: Part of Nichicon’s UKA series explicitly described for high‑grade audio equipment, aligning component choice with application intent.
• Wide operating temperature: –55°C to +105°C rating supports robust performance across varied environmental conditions encountered in professional and consumer audio gear.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2,000‑hour lifetime at 105°C offers predictable long‑term behavior for designs requiring sustained reliability.
• Measured ripple performance: Defined ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz simplify selection for both mains‑frequency smoothing and higher‑frequency switching or audio band ripple mitigation.
• Compact radial can format: Small L×D footprint with 5 mm lead spacing allows dense PCB layouts while maintaining through‑hole mounting convenience.
• AEC‑Q200 rating: Conveys an added level of qualification relevant to demanding operating environments where that standard is required.
