UPV1C221MGD

The UPV1C221MGD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPV series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor specified at 220 µF and 16 V, designed for general-purpose electronic circuit use.

Key value propositions include a compact radial can package (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm), extended high-temperature endurance of 5000 hours at +105°C, and RoHS compliance for environmental compatibility.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 220 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with a tolerance of ±20%, providing predictable capacitance behavior for general-purpose circuits.
• Low Impedance — Rated with a measured impedance of 270 mΩ, enabling improved ripple handling and lower AC losses compared to higher-impedance parts.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 294.4 mA at 120 Hz and 460 mA at higher frequencies (200 kHz), supporting applications with AC components on the DC rail.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Specified lifetime of 5000 hours at +105°C, with endurance characteristics verified after restoring to 20°C per the UPV series specification.
• Wide Operating Range — Operational temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for designs exposed to broad ambient conditions.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm), useful for space-constrained board layouts.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental restrictions for electronic components.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Used where a compact, polarized electrolytic capacitor is required for capacitance and energy storage in standard designs.
• High-temperature environments — Suitable for circuits that need sustained operation up to +105°C, backed by a 5000-hour load-life specification at that temperature.
• Space-constrained PCB layouts — Compact radial can dimensions (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm) and 3.5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for dense board placements requiring a radial lead component.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life — 5000 hours at +105°C provides durability in elevated-temperature applications, supporting longer maintenance intervals.
• Measured low impedance — 270 mΩ impedance lowers AC loss and improves ripple performance relative to higher-impedance alternatives.
• Clear ripple specifications — Defined ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (294.4 mA at 120 Hz; 460 mA at 200 kHz) allow confident selection where AC ripple is a concern.
• Compact radial can format — Small footprint (L: 1.15 × D: 0.8 cm) and 3.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in constrained designs while retaining axial stability through radial leads.
• RoHS compliance — Conforms to current RoHS directives, aiding environmental and regulatory alignment for finished products.
