UKW1V222MHD

The UKW1V222MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UKW series, optimized for audio and AV equipment. It delivers 2200 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact φ16 × 25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing, offering high ripple capability and stable performance across typical consumer audio temperature ranges.

This part combines an audio-focused electrolyte formulation with proven endurance characteristics, making it suitable for designs that demand reliable bulk capacitance, audible performance benefits, and long-term operation at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, 35 V Rating — 2200 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 35 V, with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C) for bulk energy storage in audio power rails.
• Audio-Optimized Electrolyte — UKW series formulation focuses on achieving a harmonious balance of sound quality, specifically indicated for AV and audio equipment.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (accounting for the high-capacitance correction), supporting low dissipation in audio circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 1.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.07 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective handling of supply ripple and dynamic loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2310 µA for the part as produced, consistent with rated capacitance and voltage.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C and operational from −40°C to +85°C, supporting extended use in consumer AV environments.
• Radial Lead, Compact Can — φ16 × 25 mm case with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for through‑hole assembly.
• RoHS Compliant & In Production — Meets RoHS requirements and is available in mass production quantities.

Typical Applications

• Audio and AV Equipment — Suited for use in consumer audio systems and AV components where audio quality and reliable bulk capacitance are required.
• Audio Amplifiers and Preamps — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple handling for amplifier power rails while contributing to the audio characteristics emphasized by the UKW series.
• Consumer Electronics (AV Modules) — Compact radial package and robust ripple performance make it suitable for integration into AV power supplies and modules.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-Tuned Electrolyte: Delivers a formulation targeted at achieving a harmonious balance of sound quality, specifically referenced for audio/AV equipment in the UKW series.
• Strong Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.8 A (120 Hz) and 2.07 A (10 kHz) support dynamic audio loads and supply smoothing in high-demand circuits.
• Proven Endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C endurance rating provides predictable long-term performance under elevated temperature conditions.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor: φ16 × 25 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing balances high capacitance with a small footprint for space-conscious board layouts.
• Manufacturing Availability: Mass production status and bulk/bag packaging options support volume procurement and flexible assembly flows.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with common environmental requirements for consumer electronics.
