UVP1C221MPD

The UVP1C221MPD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can, designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a bi‑polar construction suitable for AC‑coupling and bipolar signal paths.

Targeted at production environments, this Nichicon UVP series part combines compact packaging (φ10×12.5 mm), RoHS compliance, and defined endurance characteristics to support reliable performance in consumer and industrial electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and coupling behavior.
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design enables AC applications and circuits where polarity may reverse.
• Radial Lead Package — φ10×12.5 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through‑hole PCB assembly and robust mechanical retention.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — Specified tan δ of 0.22 for this voltage class, supporting predictable ESR‑related performance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 275 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 412.5 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple in power and signal circuits.
• Low Leakage — Measured leakage current of 105.6 µA after 5 minutes at 20°C, supporting low standby losses in sensitive circuits.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — 2000 hours life at 85°C (endurance test conditions), and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
• Compliance & Packaging — RoHS compliant; supplied in bulk/bag packaging suitable for mass production environments.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Ideal for AC‑coupling and bipolar signal paths in audio and video equipment where bi‑polar capacitors are preferred.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Use for local decoupling and ripple filtering in low‑voltage power rails that require bipolar operation.
• Signal Conditioning — Suitable for circuits requiring stable capacitance and controlled loss angle for analog signal paths.

Unique Advantages

• Bipolar flexibility: Allows use in AC and polarity‑reversing circuits without concern for standard polarized capacitor limitations.
• Defined ripple performance: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (275 mA @120 Hz, 412.5 mA @10 kHz) let designers size capacitors to actual ripple spectra.
• Compact, through‑hole form factor: φ10×12.5 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing provide a small footprint with easy PCB mounting and reliable mechanical support.
• Endurance validated: 2000 h life at 85°C with specified capacitance and leakage retention supports predictable long‑term behavior in thermal stress conditions.
• RoHS compliant and production ready: Supplied in bulk/bag and specified for mass production to streamline procurement and assembly.
