UPM1C221MPD

The UPM1C221MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series. It provides 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for durability and wide-temperature operation, this polarized capacitor is specified for -55°C to 105°C, AEC‑Q200 qualified, and designed to meet the reliability and endurance demands of automotive and other harsh-environment electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% at 20°C, rated for 16 V.
• Low Impedance: Measured impedance of 160 mOhm supports lower ripple and improved power stability in constrained designs.
• Loss Angle (tan δ): tanδ = 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), indicating specified dissipation characteristics for the rated voltage.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 187.6 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 335 mA (200 kHz), suitable for sustained AC bias conditions.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 105.6 µA.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Life rating of 3000 hours at 105°C for the relevant case size.
• Automotive Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualified, meeting industry qualification requirements for automotive electronics.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliant.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, polarized can package (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk or bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and -55°C to 105°C operating range make it suitable for electronic modules used in automotive environments.
• Embedded Power Circuits — Compact radial-lead can and 220 µF capacitance provide bulk energy storage and smoothing where a polarized electrolytic is required.
• Industrial Electronics — 3000-hour endurance at 105°C and low impedance characteristics support continuous operation under elevated temperature and bias conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified for Automotive Use: AEC‑Q200 rating provides a documented qualification path for designers targeting automotive electronic systems.
• Wide Operating Temperature: Rated from -55°C to 105°C, enabling use across a broad range of thermal environments.
