UPS0J221MED

The UPS0J221MED is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPS series, provided in a radial‑lead through‑hole package. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing, targeting board‑level power filtering and supply stabilization.

Designed for applications that require low impedance and durable operation across a wide temperature range, this part offers defined ripple current performance, controlled loss tangent, and a 2000 hour endurance rating at 105°C for sustained operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 220 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized configuration for DC power rails.
• Loss tangent (tan δ) — tanδ specified at 0.24 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for 6.3 V), providing known dissipation characteristics for thermal design.
• Ripple current capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 125 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 250 mA (10 kHz), allowing designers to size thermal and ripple budgets accurately.
• Leakage current — Typical leakage current 41.58 µA (measured after 1 minute at 20°C), enabling predictable quiescent behavior on DC rails.
• Temperature and endurance — Rated operating range −55°C to +105°C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated bias and ripple conditions.
• Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for easy through‑hole assembly; available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Low‑impedance miniature capacitor for output smoothing and stabilization in board‑level switcher designs.
• General-purpose power filtering — Decoupling and bulk storage on low-voltage DC rails where compact, radial through‑hole components are required.
• Embedded and industrial electronics — Board‑mounted radial lead option for power modules and assemblies requiring defined endurance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy density — 220 µF in a φ6.3 × 11 mm can lets designers add bulk capacitance in constrained board areas without switching to larger footprints.
• Defined thermal endurance — 2000 hour rating at 105°C gives predictable life performance for thermal budgeting and maintenance planning.
• Measurable ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (125 mA @120 Hz, 250 mA @10 kHz) support accurate thermal and ripple margin calculations.
• Predictable leakage and dissipation — Leakage current and tanδ values are provided for tight power‑rail quiescent current and loss assessments.
• Through‑hole mounting convenience — Radial lead package with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies prototyping, repair, and wave/manual assembly workflows.
• Regulatory alignment — RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting modern environmental directives.
