UPA1C222MHD3

The UPA1C222MHD3 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can designed for general-purpose power filtering and smoothing. It belongs to Nichicon’s UPA series, offering low impedance and targeted performance for switching power supplies and other high‑ripple current applications.

This radial lead capacitor delivers 2200 µF at 16 V with a compact φ12.5 × 25 mm can, a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, and a 5000‑hour endurance at 105°C for long-term stability in demanding designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2200 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% to support bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 44 mΩ helps reduce voltage ripple under load, improving regulator stability and transient response.
• High Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple currents of 1.938 A at 120 Hz and 2.28 A at 10 kHz enable reliable operation in high‑ripple environments such as switching converters.
• Long Endurance — 5000 hours life at 105°C when operated under rated conditions, supporting sustained performance in elevated temperature applications.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, making it suitable for a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Radial Lead, Compact Package — φ12.5 × 25 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) simplifies through‑hole mounting and PCB placement in space‑constrained power modules.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 1056 µA and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation and self‑heating behavior.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — RoHS compliant and available in bulk or bag packing; part is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing where low impedance and high ripple current capacity are required for stable regulator operation.
• DC–DC Converters — Energy storage and decoupling on converter input/output stages to handle high ripple currents and transient demands.
• Power Filtering in Industrial Electronics — Smoothing and ripple suppression in industrial control and power distribution modules operating across a wide temperature range.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Through‑hole radial mounting for power rails and hold‑up capacitors in consumer and commercial equipment requiring reliable long‑term performance.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Current Capability: 1.938 A at 120 Hz and 2.28 A at 10 kHz reduce heating and extend service life in converters and high‑frequency circuits.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 44 mΩ impedance minimizes voltage drop and improves transient response in power systems.
• Compact Footprint: φ12.5 × 25 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a space‑efficient through‑hole solution for PCB power stages.
• Extended Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C offers predictable aging and long‑term stability in high‑temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −55°C to +105°C supports deployment across diverse environmental conditions without derating design assumptions.
• RoHS Compliance and Production Availability: Environmentally compliant and available in bulk/bag packaging for volume assembly needs.
