UPM1K221MHD6

The UPM1K221MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, configured as a radial‑lead can with a φ18 × 15 mm case. It delivers 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 80 V, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20%.

Designed for applications that demand low impedance and long operational life, this part combines high ripple handling capability and wide operating temperature range for reliable performance in demanding environments, including automotive systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualification.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance rated at 80 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for mid‑voltage energy storage and smoothing tasks.
• Low Impedance — Rated impedance of 130 mOhm supports lower voltage ripple under load and improves dynamic response.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.08 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation for this voltage class.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low frequency ripple current 361.2 mA (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 645 mA (200 kHz) for robust AC ripple handling across a range of switching frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 528 µA for predictable stand‑by and quiescent behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a 5000 h load life at 105°C, supporting long‑term stability in elevated temperature environments.
• Packaging & Mounting — Radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag Packing for flexible assembly handling.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 rated and RoHS‑compliant, indicating suitability for regulated production environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Energy smoothing and decoupling in vehicle electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance support sustained performance.
• In-vehicle control modules — Bulk capacitance and ripple current capability help stabilize DC rails in control and sensing electronics.
• Power conditioning — Mid‑voltage filtering and energy storage in power supply circuits that operate across wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance — 5000 hours at 105°C provides extended operational life under elevated thermal stress, reducing maintenance frequency.
• AEC‑Q200 rated — Qualification supports use in regulated automotive production environments where component reliability is audited.
• Strong ripple handling — Distinct low and high frequency ripple current ratings (361.2 mA @120 Hz, 645 mA @200 kHz) cover both legacy and switching power applications.
• Compact radial package — φ18 × 15 mm can size with 7.5 mm lead spacing gives a compact footprint for through‑hole assemblies.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Specified impedance, tanδ, and leakage current values enable more accurate circuit modeling and margining.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
