UPW2C220MPD

The UPW2C220MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor providing 22 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. It is a miniature, low-impedance capacitor designed for power-filtering roles in electronic power stages, including switching power supplies.

With a temperature range of −40°C to 105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification, this part is specified for demanding environments that require long endurance and stable performance under ripple and DC bias conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low loss (tan δ) — Specified tanδ of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz to support efficient filtering with controlled dissipation.
• Ripple current capability — Handles 130 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 208 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), supporting ripple attenuation in power conversion circuits.
• Leakage current — Leakage specified at 240.8 µA, allowing designers to budget standby and leakage currents precisely.
• Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, enabling long-term reliability in thermally stressed applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating indicating suitability for automotive electronics design flows and reliability expectations.
• Form factor and mounting — Radial lead, can-style package sized Ø10 × 20 mm with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), for through-hole mounting and compact board layouts.
• Packaging options — Supplied bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packed for flexible assembly handling.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Used for input/output filtering and decoupling to reduce ripple and stabilize voltage rails in switching regulators.
• Power Converters — Suited for DC–DC converter stages where 160 V rating and defined ripple current capability are required.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive control and auxiliary power modules that require durable capacitors at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without series stacking or complex topologies.
• Measurable ripple performance: Dual ripple-current specifications (120 Hz and 10 kHz) let designers size capacitors to expected operating frequencies with confidence.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C supports component lifetime planning in hot enclosures or near power devices.
• Defined loss characteristics: Specified tanδ at 20°C/120 Hz aids thermal and loss budgeting in dense power designs.
• Compact radial package: Ø10×20 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing provide a small footprint for through-hole layouts while keeping adequate creepage and clearance for higher voltages.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 rating helps streamline qualification for vehicle electronics applications.
