UVP1E220MED

The UVP1E220MED from Nichicon is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose applications and entertainment electronics. Its bi‑polar construction and radial lead can package make it suitable for circuits that require polarity reversal and reliable through‑hole mounting.

This part delivers 22 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with a compact 1.1 × 0.63 cm footprint and is RoHS compliant, offering a balance of electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and lifecycle-tested reliability.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polar Construction Designed as a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor suitable for circuits where polarity may reverse; endurance testing includes polarity inversion during accelerated life testing.
• Electrical Characteristics 22 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance and a maximum tan δ of 0.20 for the 25 V rating (series specification).
• Ripple Performance Specified ripple handling of 65 mA at 120 Hz and 130 mA at 10 kHz, supporting both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple environments for the 22 µF size.
• Reliability & Endurance Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with a listed lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C; series endurance tests include polarity inversion every 250 hours.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics Series leakage current specification: after 5 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20 °C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA); tan δ limits are defined by rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead, radial can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm) for straightforward through‑hole assembly and board placement.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Entertainment Systems Suitable for audio and video equipment circuits where bi‑polar capacitors are required for coupling, decoupling, or signal path applications.
• General‑Purpose Electronics Fits a broad range of PCB designs needing a compact radial through‑hole capacitor with polarity reversal capability.
• AC‑Coupling and Signal Conditioning Bi‑polar design supports applications where alternating or inverted polarities occur in the signal path.

Unique Advantages

• Polarity‑tolerant Design: Endurance testing with polarity inversion verifies suitability for applications that experience polarity changes, reducing the need for special handling.
• Compact Radial Package: Small L × D footprint and 2.5 mm lead spacing streamline PCB layout and through‑hole assembly without sacrificing capacitance.
• Defined Ripple Capability: Manufacturer‑specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide predictable performance for power and signal filtering tasks.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated from −40 °C to +85 °C to accommodate typical environmental conditions in consumer and general‑purpose electronics.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports designs targeting restricted‑substance requirements.
