UVP1A220MDD

The UVP1A220MDD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series, designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics. Its radial-can construction and bi-polarized dielectric make it a compact option where polarity reversal or AC coupling is required.

Key electrical characteristics include a 22 µF capacitance at 10 V rating, ±20% tolerance, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, providing predictable performance across common consumer and general-purpose applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Bi-Polarized Construction — Bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic type suitable for circuits where polarity inversion or AC signal coupling may occur.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with 2 mm lead spacing; compact dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm and a seated height of up to 1.1 cm for space-conscious designs.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C with a demonstrated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C; endurance testing for the series includes polarity inversion every 250 hours during the 2000-hour test.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified by the series: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, I ≤ 0.03 × C × V (µA). The series tan δ (loss tangent) for 10 V is 0.24 (max).
• Ripple Current & Frequency Response — Rated ripple current values: 57 mA at 120 Hz and 114 mA at 10 kHz for this part. Frequency coefficients for 10–47 µF parts (series data) allow scaling of rated ripple across frequencies (e.g., 120 Hz = 1.00, 10 kHz+ = 2.00).
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Part of Nichicon’s standard bi-polarized series targeted at entertainment devices; suited for circuits used in consumer audio and video equipment where bipolar capacitors are preferred.
• General-Purpose Electronic Circuits — Useful in a wide range of general-purpose designs that require a compact bi-polar capacitor with predictable leakage and ripple performance.
• Designs Exposed to Polarity Reversal — Bi-polar construction accommodates applications where polarity may invert or where AC coupling is present.

Unique Advantages

• Compact radial-can footprint: Small L: 1.1 × D: 0.5 cm package and 2 mm lead spacing reduce board area for space-constrained designs.
• Bi-polarized simplicity: Eliminates the need for series/parallel workarounds when polarity reversal or AC operation is required.
• Predictable ripple capability: Published ripple current ratings (57 mA at 120 Hz, 114 mA at 10 kHz) and frequency coefficients for 10–47 µF enable accurate thermal and ripple budgeting across frequency ranges.
• Measured leakage and loss metrics: Leakage current limit of 0.03CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C and a maximum tan δ of 0.24 at 10 V provide clear electrical expectations for design verification.
• Endurance under stress: 2000 hours at 85 °C endurance (series test includes polarity inversion) offers a defined reliability baseline for lifecycle planning.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity for use in electronics requiring restricted substance compliance.
