UPW0J222MPD6

The UPW0J222MPD6 from Nichicon is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low impedance and high reliability in switching power supply applications. It is a radial lead, can-style capacitor optimized for compact power modules and automotive electronic subsystems.

Key electrical and environmental characteristics include a rated capacitance of 2.2 mF, rated voltage of 6.3 V, AEC-Q200 qualification, an operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, and a lifetime rating of 5000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable for demanding thermal and vibration environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 2.2 mF capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V for energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance: 90 mΩ impedance to reduce ripple and improve transient response in switching supplies.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 1.224 A at 120 Hz and 1.44 A at 10 kHz to handle AC components from switching converters.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead can package with 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and robust mechanical mounting in compact assemblies.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Operating range −55°C to 105°C with a specified lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C for elevated-temperature reliability.
• Tolerance & Polarization: Capacitance tolerance −20% to +20%; polarized construction for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• AEC-Q200 Rated: Qualified to AEC-Q200 for use in automotive and similarly demanding applications requiring standardized component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk and output filtering in compact switching regulators where low impedance and high ripple capability are required.
• Automotive Electronic Modules: Power filtering and decoupling in automotive control units and electronic modules that require AEC-Q200 qualified components.
• DC-DC Converters: Energy storage and ripple suppression in board-level DC-DC converter stages for stable low-voltage rails.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient form factor: Miniature radial can package and compact footprint (L: 2.5 × D: 1 cm) enable integration into space-constrained power assemblies.
• Improved ripple handling: Low 90 mΩ impedance combined with rated ripple current values reduces voltage ripple and improves converter stability.
• High-temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C specification supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive systems and other applications requiring standardized component qualification.
• Radial lead robustness: Through-hole radial leads with 5 mm spacing provide mechanical durability for modules exposed to vibration or handling.
