UPM1C222MHD6

The UPM1C222MHD6 is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, engineered for high reliability and low impedance performance. It is a polarized, can‑style radial component designed for applications that demand sustained ripple handling and long life under elevated temperature.

Targeted at automotive and other demanding electrified systems, this part combines a 2.2 mF capacitance at 16 V with AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance to meet strict reliability and regulatory needs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2200 µF nominal capacitance with rated voltage 16 V and tolerance ±20%.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 33 mΩ supports reduced ripple voltage and improved transient performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low frequency ripple current 1.766 A (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 1.62 A (200 kHz) for robust filtering and smoothing.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C for long operational life under high thermal stress.
• Electrical Losses — Dissipation factor tanδ = 0.18 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to characterize ESR-related losses.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1056 µA, useful for bias and hold‑up calculations.
• Operating Range — Temperature range −55°C to +105°C to cover a wide span of environmental conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ16 × 20L mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in bulk or bag packing.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suited for regulated and reliability‑sensitive programs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power rail smoothing and ripple suppression in automotive control modules and power systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple current capability are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk decoupling and output filtering for DC–DC converters and voltage regulators operating up to 16 V.
• Energy Buffering — Local energy storage and transient buffering in embedded power subsystems that demand low impedance and sustained performance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Life — 5000 hours at 105°C reduces maintenance and replacement cycles in thermally stressed environments.
• High Ripple Capability — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequency enable effective filtering across typical converter and motor‑drive spectra.
• Low ESR Characteristic — 33 mΩ impedance helps minimize voltage drop and heat generation under load.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification supports integration into automotive systems requiring component‑level reliability evidence.
• Compact Radial Can — φ16 × 20L footprint and radial leads simplify replacement in legacy layouts and space‑constrained boards.
• Available and Compliant — RoHS compliant, offered in bulk/bag packing, and in mass production to support volume deployment.
