UPJ1C222MHD6

The UPJ1C222MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPJ series, designed for low-impedance power applications. With 2200 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating and a compact φ16 × 20 mm can, it is targeted for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling, including use in switching power supplies.

Key value comes from high ripple-current capability, extended endurance at elevated temperature, and a compact radial package that supports straightforward PCB insertion and through-hole assembly options.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — 2200 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing on power rails.
• Low Loss / DF — Dissipation factor (tanδ) specified as 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient filtering with controlled losses.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.458 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.62 A at 200 kHz to handle dynamic load currents in power converters.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1056 µA, defined under rated conditions for predictable standby drain behavior.
• Extended Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, enabling sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Temperature Range — Operative from −55°C to +105°C, covering a wide range of ambient conditions.
• Radial Can Package — φ16 × 20 mm aluminum can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing environments.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and rated ripple-current values make it suitable for input/output filtering and decoupling in SMPS designs.
• Power Rail Smoothing — Bulk capacitance and long endurance support smoothing and hold-up functions on DC power rails.
• Industrial and Consumer Electronics — General-purpose filtering in control boards, power adapters, and other through-hole assemblies where radial can components are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple-Current Capability: Handles 1.458 A (120 Hz) and 1.62 A (200 kHz), reducing thermal stress under dynamic loads.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature: 5000-hour rating at 105°C supports reliable operation in warm environments and extends maintenance intervals.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ16 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides dense capacitance in a small footprint for through-hole assemblies.
• Measured Loss Characteristics: Tanδ specified at 20°C, 120 Hz (0.18) for predictable AC loss performance in filter networks.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS directive for lead-free production requirements.
• Packaging Options: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to match assembly and inventory workflows.
