UPT2P221MHD6

The UPT2P221MHD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPT series, offering 220 µF capacitance at a 220 V rating. It provides a compact φ18 × 30.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing and is designed for general-purpose, high-voltage circuitry with elevated ripple demands.

Key electrical characteristics include a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.12 measured at 20°C/120 Hz, low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings, a long endurance rating of 5000 hours at 105°C, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 220 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 220 V DC rating suitable for high-voltage circuits within the specified range of the UPT series.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 770 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.232 A (10 kHz), supporting applications with significant AC ripple content.
• Low Dissipation — tanδ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled loss performance under rated conditions.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C with specified post-test limits for capacitance change, tanδ and leakage current.
• Temperature Range — Operates across -40°C to 105°C for use in a wide span of environmental conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ18 × 30.5 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing and lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm for through-hole mounting.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2914 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C under rated voltage conditions for this part).
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS compliant; product is in mass production and available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).

Typical Applications

• Ballast Circuits — Series datasheet explicitly notes the UPT series is suited for ballast applications where high ripple handling is required.
• General-Purpose High-Voltage Circuits — For designers needing a 220 V-rated electrolytic with substantial ripple capability and compact radial packaging for through-hole assemblies.
• High-Temperature Endurance Designs — Systems that require long operational life at elevated temperatures can leverage the 5000-hour endurance rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Ripple Handling: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (770 mA at 120 Hz; 1.232 A at 10 kHz) let you size components reliably for AC-stressed circuits.
• Long High-Temperature Life: 5000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging and long-term performance metrics for thermal environments.
• Controlled Loss Characteristics: tanδ of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz supports designs where low dissipation and thermal stability matter.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: φ18 × 30.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing fits standard through-hole layouts while keeping board area modest.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.
• Production-Ready Supply: Mass production status and standard bulk/bag packaging simplify procurement and assembly planning.
