UPV1H220MGD

The UPV1H220MGD is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package, designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It is a polarized radial-lead component from Nichicon’s UPV series, engineered to deliver stable capacitance and ripple handling in compact assemblies.

Key value propositions include a long 5000-hour loaded life at +105°C, RoHS compliance, and a compact footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing, making it suitable where board space and high-temperature endurance are important.

Key Features

• Electrical ratings: 22 µF capacitance at 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, providing defined energy storage and filtering performance for polarized power rails.
• High-temperature endurance: Designed to withstand 5000 hours of applied rated voltage at +105°C, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low impedance characteristics: Low-impedance series construction and a specified tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.10 at 50 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) for improved AC performance and reduced losses.
• Ripple current capability: Rated ripple current of 97.5 mA at 120 Hz and 195 mA at 200 kHz, with a frequency coefficient of 1.0 between 10 kHz and 200 kHz, enabling effective smoothing of switching and AC ripple.
• Leakage current specification: Leakage current after 1 minute at rated voltage and 20°C is limited to 0.03 × C × V (µA), providing predictable standby current behaviour.
• Compact radial can package: Radial lead mounting with a small case size (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing, simplifying through-hole layout in space-constrained designs.
• Wide operating temperature: Specified for –55°C to +105°C operation, covering many industrial and general-purpose ambient conditions.
• Regulatory compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing: Local decoupling and bulk filtering on 50 V rails to reduce output ripple for linear and switching supplies.
• Switching regulator output filtering: Handling high-frequency ripple currents (rated to 200 kHz) for compact DC–DC converters and module power outputs.
• Industrial and control electronics: Ruggedized performance in control boards and instrumentation where elevated operating temperature and long life are required.
• Consumer and portable equipment: Compact energy storage and decoupling in space-constrained assemblies using through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 5000 hours at +105°C under rated voltage delivers predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Compact footprint: Small radial can (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area while retaining through-hole reliability.
• Measurable low-loss performance: Specified tan δ of 0.10 at 50 V (120 Hz, 20°C) helps designers quantify AC loss and thermal behaviour.
• Predictable leakage behaviour: Leakage limited to 0.03CV (µA) after 1 minute at 20°C provides consistent standby current across production units.
• High-frequency ripple handling: 195 mA rated ripple at 200 kHz (and 97.5 mA at 120 Hz) supports effective smoothing in modern switching circuits.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for environmentally conscious designs.
