UPJ0J221MED

The UPJ0J221MED from Nichicon is a radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPJ series, designed for low impedance performance in power applications. With a 220 µF capacitance at 6.3 V and a compact radial can package, it is intended for general-purpose use including switching power supplies and board-level power filtering.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing on low-voltage rails.
• Low Loss / Power Performance — Specified tan δ of 0.22 at 6.3 V and defined ripple current ratings (114.8 mA at 120 Hz and 205 mA at 1 kHz) to support AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current provided as 41.58 µA, supporting predictable standby and quiescent behavior after voltage application.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a lifetime specified as 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and mechanical size listed as L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm (φ6.3×11L), for straightforward through-hole board assembly.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for correct-polarity applications.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as provided in the product data.
• Series Characteristics — Part of Nichicon’s UPJ series which is described as low impedance and well suited for switching power supplies.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance characteristics and defined ripple ratings make the UPJ0J221MED suitable for output filtering and bulk storage in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Electronics — Listed for general-purpose applications where a compact 220 µF, 6.3 V electrolytic capacitor is required.
• Board-Level Filtering — Radial lead can and 2.5 mm lead spacing facilitate through-hole mounting for local power-rail decoupling and smoothing on PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• Compact radial can form factor — φ6.3×11L size and radial leads enable space-efficient placement while maintaining through-hole robustness.
• Defined ripple handling — Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 1 kHz provide designers with concrete limits for thermal and ripple budgeting.
• High operating temperature range — Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation with a specified 2000-hour life at 105°C for predictable high-temperature performance.
• Low-loss electrical behavior — Specified tan δ (0.22 at 6.3 V) supports low dissipation in AC conditions, aiding efficiency in power circuits.
• Predictable leakage — Provided leakage current figure (41.58 µA) helps with power-standby and leakage budgeting in designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as stated in the product data.
