UPM1A221MED

The UPM1A221MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series. It delivers 220 µF at 10 V in a compact φ6.3×15 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing, designed for applications requiring stable capacitance, low loss, and reliable operation across a broad temperature range.

Built for demanding environments, this part combines low impedance (tanδ 0.19), measurable ripple current capability, low leakage, and AEC-Q200 qualification to address automotive and other rugged electronic assemblies that require proven, long-life electrolytic performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage and decoupling performance.
• Low Loss — tanδ 0.19 (specified for this part) for reduced AC dissipation under typical measurement conditions, supporting stable performance in AC/ripple environments.
• Ripple Current Handling — 151.2 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 270 mA at high frequency (200 kHz), enabling effective filtering under mixed-frequency ripple loads.
• Low Leakage Current — 66 µA leakage current after application of rated voltage, useful for maintaining low quiescent currents in assembled systems.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for operation from -55°C to +105°C with a specified life of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (can) construction, φ6.3×15 mm body, 2.5 mm lead spacing, supplied bulk/no terminal forming for through-hole assembly workflows.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Designated as AEC-Q200 in the product data, indicating qualification for applications requiring that automotive electronics standard.

Typical Applications

• Automotive — AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55°C to +105°C rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic systems that require qualified components.
• Automotive — 2000-hour life at 105°C and low leakage current support long-term operation in vehicle electrical environments.
• Automotive — Compact φ6.3×15 mm radial-can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing for space-constrained through-hole automotive assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified for demanding environments — AEC-Q200 designation and a wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +105°C) align the part with applications that require component-level qualification.
• Reliable elevated-temperature life — Specified 2000 hours at 105°C provides a quantifiable endurance metric for thermal-stress planning and lifecycle analysis.
• Measurable ripple performance — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (151.2 mA @120 Hz, 270 mA @200 kHz) allow designers to evaluate suitability for mixed-frequency power environments.
• Compact radial form factor — φ6.3×15 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify integration into through-hole boards where space and mechanical robustness matter.
• Low leakage and loss — 66 µA leakage current and tanδ 0.19 provide controlled dissipation and low standby current for stable circuit behavior.
• Manufacturer pedigree — Part of Nichicon's UPM series, identified for low impedance and high reliability at the series level.
