UPJ2A221MHD6

The UPJ2A221MHD6 is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPJ series, offering 220 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial-lead can (φ16 × 25 mm). It is designed as a low-impedance power component for general-purpose electronic applications, with packaging available in bulk or bag form for production use.

Key value propositions include high-temperature endurance and load-life reliability (5,000 hours at 105°C), measurable ripple-handling capability across low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance for broad use in industrial and power-electronics designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 220 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance measured at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing predictable energy storage for smoothing and decoupling tasks.
• High Voltage Rating — Rated to 100 V, suitable where elevated DC bus voltages are present.
• Low Loss / Impedance — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.08 at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 63–100 V range, supporting lower dissipation in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified low-frequency ripple current of 478.24 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 854 mA at 200 kHz for effective ripple smoothing across switching and line-frequency domains.
• Leakage Current — Product-level leakage current specified at 660 µA, enabling predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated life of 5,000 hours at 105°C (load-life endurance), reflecting suitability for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Package & Mounting — Radial-lead can with lead spacing 7.5 mm (tolerance ±0.5 mm) and physical size φ16 × 25 mm for through-hole assembly.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance behavior and specified ripple currents make the UPJ2A221MHD6 suitable for output smoothing and bulk decoupling in switching regulators and supplies.
• Power Converters & Inverters — 100 V rating and high-temperature endurance support use on intermediate DC buses and converter stages in industrial power electronics.
• Industrial Control Equipment — Robust lifetime at 105°C and wide operating temperature range enable long-term filtering and energy storage in industrial control modules.
• General-Purpose Electronic Systems — Through-hole radial package and standard lead spacing simplify prototyping, repairable assemblies, and low-to-medium volume production runs.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Load-Life Endurance — 5,000-hour specification at 105°C gives designers a measurable reliability baseline for long-term, high-temperature applications.
• Broad Frequency Ripple Handling — Separate ripple current specifications for 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to assess performance across line-frequency and switching-frequency stressors.
• High Voltage Capability — 100 V rating extends applicability to higher-voltage DC buses without needing series stacking or additional components.
• Clear, Measurable Loss Characteristics — tan δ of 0.08 at relevant conditions provides a quantifiable indicator of ESR-related losses for thermal and efficiency calculations.
• Radial Through-Hole Convenience — Standard φ16 × 25 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify mechanical integration and rework in through-hole assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant — Material compliance supports deployment in regulated markets and assemblies requiring restricted-substance adherence.
