UPJ2C220MHD

The UPJ2C220MHD is a Nichicon UPJ series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, specified at 22 µF and 160 V. It combines a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm package with a 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole assemblies and general-purpose power applications.

Designed as part of the UPJ family for low impedance and switching power supply use, this capacitor offers long-term endurance at elevated temperature and measurable ripple performance for power filtering and energy-storage tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 22 µF rated capacitance at 160 VDC, suitable for mid-to-high voltage DC filtering.
• Low Impedance Construction: UPJ series design optimized for switching power supplies, providing reduced impedance behavior for power applications.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, indicating extended operation under high-temperature load conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 140 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 224 mA at 200 kHz, supporting both mains and switching ripple environments.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and leakage current specified as 240.8 µA.
• Mechanical & Mounting: Radial lead can, φ12.5 × 20 mm size with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Operating Temperature: Specified range −40°C to 105°C for application across a wide ambient temperature span.
• RoHS Compliance: Declared RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Low impedance characteristics and specified ripple current make it suitable for output and bulk filtering in switch-mode power designs.
• Industrial Power Modules: High voltage rating (160 V) and 105°C endurance support use in industrial DC link and filtering stages.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Through-hole radial format and measurable leakage/tan δ values allow predictable behavior in general DC filtering and decoupling roles.

Unique Advantages

• 160 V Rated Voltage: Enables deployment in mid- to high-voltage DC circuits where higher voltage margins are required.
• Long High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours at 105°C provides defined endurance for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Measured Ripple Specifications: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz allow designers to size capacitors against both line-frequency and switching-frequency ripple.
• Compact Radial Can: φ12.5 × 20 mm body with 5 mm lead spacing delivers a space-efficient through-hole option for power boards and retrofits.
• Quantified Electrical Losses: tan δ of 0.2 (20°C, 120 Hz) and stated leakage current support predictable thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for materials compliance.
