UPM2C220MHD

The UPM2C220MHD is a radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series, specified at 22 µF and 160 V. It delivers low-impedance performance and is built for high-reliability environments requiring sustained operation at elevated temperatures.

Targeted at automotive and other demanding applications, this radial can offers a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a guaranteed endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C for robust long-term use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage—suitable where mid-to-high DC voltage capability is required.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, providing proven long-term stability under elevated operating temperatures.
• Low Impedance / Ripple Handling: Low-frequency ripple current of 140 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 224 mA at 200 kHz, enabling effective ripple suppression across a range of frequencies.
• Electrical Losses & Leakage: Specified tan δ of 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and measured leakage current of 240.8 µA for predictable AC loss and DC leakage characteristics.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can-style package (φ12.5 × 20 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options for straightforward through-hole assembly and inventory handling.
• Quality & Compliance: AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, aligning with regulated production and reliability requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suited for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and 5000 h endurance at 105°C are required.
• Power Filtering and Decoupling: Used in power rails and DC link circuits that require a 160 V rating together with low impedance and defined ripple current capability.
• Embedded and Industrial Systems: Applicable to compact through-hole designs needing a reliable, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor with controlled leakage and loss characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High-Voltage Capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC circuits without changing capacitor family.
