UVP1C220MDD

The UVP1C220MDD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It is a radial‑lead, can‑style capacitor offering 22 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with bi‑polar construction for circuits where polarity can invert.

Engineered for compact through‑hole designs, this component combines a small footprint and industry-standard electrical characteristics—making it suitable for assemblies that require reliable AC performance, moderate ripple handling, and RoHS‑compliant materials.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable filtering and time‑constant design.
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design supports applications where polarity may invert, expanding usage in AC‑coupled and bipolar signal environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (can) package with 2 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.5 cm) for through‑hole and prototype PCB layouts.
• Temperature & Reliability — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C (endurance test with polarity inversion every 250 hours).
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple handling of 57 mA at 120 Hz and 114 mA at 10 kHz, providing defined AC load capability across typical audio and entertainment frequencies.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Series specification: leakage current not more than 0.03 × C × V (µA) after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C; maximum tan δ for 16 V rating is 0.22 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for lead‑free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Designed specifically for entertainment electronics where bi‑polar performance and compact through‑hole mounting are required.
• General‑Purpose Electronic Circuits — Suitable for a wide range of general‑purpose applications that require a small, bi‑polar electrolytic capacitor.
• Through‑Hole and Prototype Boards — Radial lead can package and 2 mm lead spacing simplify breadboarding and PCB through‑hole assembly workflows.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar flexibility: Supports circuits with reversing or AC signals without concern for polarity, reducing design constraints.
• Compact, space‑efficient form factor: Small L × D footprint (1.1 × 0.5 cm) fits tight layouts while retaining standard radial‑lead mounting.
• Defined ripple handling: Published ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers account for AC stress across typical frequency bands.
• Thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C endurance specification (with polarity inversion) gives a measured basis for reliability planning in elevated temperature environments.
• Measured electrical limits: Clear leakage current and tan δ specifications allow precise selection for low‑loss and low‑leakage circuit requirements.
• RoHS compliant materials: Conforms to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulatory alignment in lead‑free assemblies.
