UPV0J221MGD

The UPV0J221MGD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPV series, designed for compact, low-impedance power applications. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V in a radial-lead can that is optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Engineered for reliability, this capacitor is specified for a 5000 hour load life at +105°C and a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, making it suitable for demanding general-purpose electronic applications that require stable capacitance and ripple handling in small form factors.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance / Ripple Handling — Designed for low impedance with rated ripple currents of 182.4 mA at 120 Hz and 285 mA at 1 kHz to support filtering and smoothing in power paths.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Qualified for 5000 hours of load life at +105°C, delivering long-term stability when operated under high-temperature conditions.
• Wide Operating Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to cover a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with a compact footprint (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing for tight PCB placement.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Compact Power Supplies — Local energy storage and output smoothing where a small, low-impedance capacitor is required to reduce ripple and stabilize regulator outputs.
• Embedded Electronics — Decoupling and bulk capacitance for microcontroller and DSP boards in space-constrained designs operating across −55°C to +105°C.
• Signal Conditioning and Analog Circuits — Supply filtering and noise suppression for sensitive analog front-ends that benefit from low impedance and stable capacitance.
• General Purpose Electronic Equipment — Suitable for a wide range of consumer and industrial electronics requiring reliable capacitive performance and extended high-temperature life.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High-Temperature Life: Rated 5000 hours at +105°C, providing predictable performance over prolonged elevated-temperature operation.
• Compact Footprint: Small can size (1.1 cm × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area consumption in compact assemblies.
• Measurable Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz (182.4 mA) and 1 kHz (285 mA) allow designers to select this capacitor where defined ripple handling is required.
• Wide Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C rating supports use across a broad set of thermal environments without sacrificing capacitance stability.
• Through-Hole Assembly Friendly: Radial lead configuration simplifies placement and soldering for through-hole or mixed-technology boards.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity assists in meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial products.
