Overview of UPW2F221MRD – 220 µF, 315 V Miniature Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UPW2F221MRD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for power electronics and switching power supply applications. It delivers 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 315 V rating in a compact φ22 × 50 mm package with 10 mm lead spacing.
Built for sustained operation across a wide temperature range (−40°C to 105°C) and long endurance (8000 hours at 105°C), this UPW-series part targets applications that require durable high-voltage energy storage with low impedance characteristics.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 220 µF nominal with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- High Voltage Rating — Rated voltage: 315 V, suitable for high-voltage DC link and power conversion stages.
- Low Impedance Design — UPW-series specification highlights low impedance performance for switching power supplies, supporting stable filtering and energy buffering.
- Endurance at Elevated Temperature — Rated life: 8000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions, delivering long-term stability in high-temperature environments.
- Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current: 540 mA at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current: 864 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing across common switching frequencies.
- Loss and Leakage Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.2 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz); leakage current specified at 2872 µA.
- Package and Mounting — Radial lead, polarized aluminum can; physical size φ22 × 50 mm with 10 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and straightforward mechanical mounting.
- AEC Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated, indicating suitability for designs that require industry-recognized passive-component qualification.
- Packaging Options — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible inventory and assembly workflows.
Typical Applications
- Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering where high-voltage handling and low impedance at switching frequencies improve regulation and transient response.
- Power Conversion and DC Link — Energy storage for DC-link circuits and converters that require 315 V rated capacitance and sustained ripple handling.
- Automotive Power Systems — Suitable for automotive power electronics and accessories where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature endurance matter.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Filtering and smoothing in industrial converters and control equipment operating up to 105°C.
Unique Advantages
- High-voltage capability: 315 V rating lets you design compact filtering stages for higher DC bus voltages without paralleling multiple lower-voltage parts.
- Long-term thermal endurance: 8000 hours at 105°C supports extended field life in thermally demanding environments, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.
- Frequency-aware ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (540 mA / 864 mA) provide predictable behavior across low and high switching frequencies.
- Compact, through-hole form factor: φ22 × 50 mm radial can balances capacitance density with ease of mounting and mechanical robustness for power assemblies.
- Industry qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in designs that require qualified passive components for demanding applications.
- Clear electrical characterization: Specified tan δ and leakage current values (0.2 and 2872 µA respectively) simplify thermal and loss budgeting in power designs.
