UVK1A222MPD

The UVK1A222MPD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVK series. It is a standard-type, radial-lead, polarized capacitor offering 2200 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ10×16 mm can.

Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs that require a high-capacitance, low-voltage solution in a small footprint, this part combines a tight set of electrical characteristics (ripple handling, leakage, and loss angle) with a 2000 hour endurance at 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 2200 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage, suitable for low-voltage energy storage and smoothing tasks.
• Miniature radial package — Compact φ10×16 mm can with radial lead mounting and 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), enabling space-constrained board designs.
• Performance characteristics — Measured tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.26 at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 660 µA; capacitance tolerance ±20%.
• Ripple handling — Low-frequency ripple current 990 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current approximately 1.139 A (10 kHz), supporting AC ripple absorption on low-voltage rails.
• Endurance and temperature range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C and specified operation from −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance and packaging — RoHS-compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing. Product is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Use where a polarized, high-capacitance, low-voltage electrolytic is required in compact assemblies.
• Miniature/space-constrained designs — Small φ10×16 mm can and radial-lead format fit compact PCBs and tight component placements.
• Low-voltage power rails — Suitable for smoothing and local energy storage on 10 V systems given its 2200 µF rating and specified ripple currents.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact package: 2200 µF in a φ10×16 mm can maximizes capacitance density for small boards.
• Designed for low-voltage applications: 10 V rating paired with high capacitance provides effective bulk storage and filtering on low-voltage rails.
• Quantified ripple performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (990 mA at 120 Hz; ≈1.139 A at 10 kHz) let designers size capacitors against expected AC conditions.
• Durability under elevated temperature: 2000 hour endurance at 85 °C supports longer service life expectations in thermally stressed environments.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Bulk and bag packing options facilitate PCB assembly workflows without terminal forming.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status is compliant, supporting environmentally restricted designs.
