UPW2A220MPD

The UPW2A220MPD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series. It is a radial-lead, polarized capacitor rated at 22 µF and 100 V, designed with a compact φ8 × 11.5 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for power-electronics use, the part delivers low impedance, controlled leakage, and long endurance for applications that require stable performance across -55°C to 105°C. The device carries an AEC-Q200 rating and is available in mass-production quantities.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 22 µF capacitance rated for 100 V DC, with a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 1.36 Ω supports reduced voltage ripple in power circuits.
• High-Frequency and Low-Frequency Ripple Handling — Ripple current capability of 230 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) and 69 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency), with frequency coefficients provided in the series datasheet.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated life of 3000 hours at 105°C under specified conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified performance from -55°C to 105°C for demanding thermal environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and radial-lead mounting for through-hole assemblies.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 66 µA and a tan δ of 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to help characterize dissipation in designs.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Series rating suitable for designs requiring AEC-Q200 qualification.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Designed for smoothing and energy storage in switching regulator outputs and inputs, consistent with the UPW series application focus.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and a -55°C to 105°C temperature range make it suitable for automotive electronic modules that require a compact high-voltage capacitor.
• Compact Power Modules — The φ8 × 11.5 mm footprint and radial-lead package fit compact through-hole power assemblies where a 22 µF, 100 V capacitor is required.

Unique Advantages

• High-Voltage Capability: 100 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without upsizing component footprint.
• Compact, Through-Hole Packaging: Small φ8 × 11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing supports space-constrained designs and traditional PCB assembly.
• Low Impedance for Power Stability: 1.36 Ω impedance helps reduce ripple and improve voltage stability in power converters.
• Designed for Elevated-Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in thermally demanding environments.
• Measurable Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (69 mA and 230 mA respectively) allow designers to size capacitors against real operating conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports selection for automotive electronic modules requiring component-level qualification.
