UPM1E221MPD

The UPM1E221MPD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, optimized for high-reliability applications. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low impedance and tailored electrical endurance for demanding environments.

Designed for applications that require robust ripple handling and wide temperature operation, this component is well suited to electronic power circuits where long-term stability and automotive-grade qualification are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 220 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Rated Voltage — 25 V working voltage suitable for common low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance — Characteristic impedance of 110 mΩ helps reduce ripple and voltage drop in power lines.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dielectric loss for stable operation.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 254.8 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 455 mA (200 kHz) for effective AC load handling.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 165 µA after rated voltage application, supporting predictable bias behavior.
• Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C for this case size, reflecting the UPM series’ high-reliability design.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational from -55°C to 105°C for use in harsh thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Package — Can-style radial lead package with size φ8 × 15 mm and lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), enabling through-hole assembly and robust mechanical mounting.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance support use in regulated and automotive-oriented designs.
• Packaging & Production Status — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) / bag packing and currently in mass production for volume procurement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Modules — Suitable for filtering and energy storage on automotive power rails thanks to AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55°C to 105°C operating range.
• Power Supply Filtering — 220 µF at 25 V and low impedance make it appropriate for smoothing and bulk decoupling on low-voltage DC rails.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — Long endurance and defined leakage behavior support reliable operation in embedded control and industrial power systems.

Unique Advantages

• Reliable Thermal Endurance — 3000-hour life at 105°C for the specified case size ensures predictable aging characteristics in elevated-temperature applications.
• Measurable Low Impedance — 110 mΩ impedance contributes to reduced ripple voltages and improved transient response on power rails.
• High Ripple Handling — Distinct low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings allow designers to assess performance across operating conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating aligns the component with automotive reliability expectations where required.
• Compact Through-Hole Form Factor — φ8 × 15 mm radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides a small, robust package for PCB-level power components.
• Supply Chain Ready — Mass production status and standard packaging options simplify sourcing and assembly planning.
