UPW1E222MHD6

The UPW1E222MHD6 is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, optimized for high-reliability power applications. It delivers 2200 µF at 25 V in a compact φ18 × 20 mm can with low impedance and extended endurance for demanding environments.

Engineered for applications that require stable filtering and bulk energy storage across a wide temperature range, this part combines high ripple-current capability, long life at elevated temperature, and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive-level reliability.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 2.2 mF (2200 µF) rated at 25 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable energy storage in power rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 56 mΩ to reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response in switching supplies.
• High Ripple Current — 2.116 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.49 A at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support high-performance filtering in converters and power conditioning circuits.
• Long Endurance — Rated for 8000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended operation in thermally stressed applications.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C, enabling use across industrial and harsh-environment designs.
• Electrical Loss — tan δ of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, suitable for assessing dissipation in application-level thermal budgets.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead / can package, size φ18 × 20 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing, available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible assembly handling.
• Reliability Rating — AEC-Q200 rated, indicating qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and output smoothing where high ripple current and low impedance improve regulation and efficiency.
• Automotive Electronics — Energy storage and decoupling in vehicle systems that benefit from the part’s AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature capability.
• Industrial Power Modules — Bulk capacitance for motor drives and industrial converters operating in extended-temperature or high-stress environments.
• Energy Storage and Filtering — Input/output filtering and local energy buffering for embedded power subsystems requiring long-life capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.116 A (120 Hz) and 2.49 A (10 kHz) reduce heating and extend life under dynamic load conditions.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 8000 hours at 105°C provides durability for designs exposed to continuous elevated temperatures.
• Compact, Low-Impedance Form Factor: φ18 × 20 mm can with 56 mΩ impedance minimizes board area while maintaining effective smoothing and transient response.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 rating supports deployment in systems that require verified reliability processes and qualification.
• Clear Electrical Characterization: Specified tan δ, leakage current (1650 µA), and tolerance details enable precise thermal and performance modeling.
• Flexible Packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing to suit prototype through production assembly workflows.
