UPW2C2R2MED

The UPW2C2R2MED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for low-impedance, high-reliability applications such as switching power supplies. It delivers a compact through-hole solution with radial leads and a can-style package for straightforward board-level integration.

With a 2.2 µF capacitance at a 160 V rating, AEC-Q200 qualification, and operation across a wide temperature range, this part targets demanding electronics where size, ripple handling, and long-term reliability are required.

Key Features

• Electrical — 2.2 µF, 160 V Provides 2.2 µF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20%; polarized for DC smoothing and energy-storage duties.
• Low-impedance ripple performance Rated ripple current of 25 mA at 120 Hz and 40 mA at 10 kHz supports filtering and decoupling in switching power stages.
• Compact radial-can package Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 2.5 mm and overall footprint dimensions of L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm for space-constrained designs.
• Thermal range and lifetime Operates from −40 °C to 105 °C and is specified for 2000 hours at 105 °C, enabling sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive qualification AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive electronics where industry qualification is required.
• Through-hole mounting Radial lead format simplifies assembly for traditional through-hole manufacturing and prototyping workflows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Decoupling and smoothing in automotive switching power supplies where AEC-Q200 qualification and elevated-temperature lifetime are required.
• Switching power supplies — Output filtering and ripple suppression in compact DC–DC converters and point-of-load regulators.
• Industrial controls — Energy storage and noise suppression in control electronics that require robust, polarized capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small can dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) reduce board area without sacrificing rated voltage.
• High voltage capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rails where smaller capacitance values are needed for stability and filtering.
• Designed for ripple: Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies supports reliable filtering across switching frequencies.
• Automotive-ready: AEC-Q200 rating provides qualification suited to automotive electronics and related high-reliability applications.
• Durability at temperature: 2000 hours at 105 °C lifetime specification helps ensure stable long-term performance in warm environments.
• Through-hole simplicity: Radial lead and can package simplify assembly and replacement in serviceable products.
