UVP1J221MHD

The UVP1J221MHD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series, designed as a standard bi‑polarized option for entertainment electronics and general‑purpose consumer circuits. This radial‑lead can provides 220 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with a ±20% tolerance and is RoHS‑compliant.

Engineered for applications that require non‑polarized capacitance across a compact radial package, the UVP1J221MHD balances moderate ripple handling and a 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C with a broad operating temperature span from –40°C to +85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF rated capacitance at 63 V with ±20% tolerance, providing stable energy storage for bi‑polar applications.
• Bi‑Polar Construction: Bi‑polarized design suitable for circuits requiring non‑polarized behavior or reversed polarity handling in operation.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting for through‑hole assemblies; physical size L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm supports compact board layouts.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion every 250 hours as defined in the series endurance test).
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 575 mA at 120 Hz and 862.5 mA at 10 kHz, enabling use in applications with moderate AC ripple or switching frequencies.
• Compliance: RoHS‑compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863, meeting common environmental restrictions for consumer electronics.

Typical Applications

• Home and Entertainment Electronics: Suitable for audio/video equipment and other consumer entertainment products that require bi‑polar capacitance in power or signal circuits.
• General‑Purpose Consumer Devices: Used in consumer electronics and household devices where radial through‑hole mounting and moderate ripple handling are required.
• Prototyping and Repair: Radial lead configuration makes the part convenient for prototype boards and replacement components in existing designs.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑Polar Versatility: Non‑polarized construction supports circuits where polarity can reverse, reducing the need for additional circuitry to protect polarized caps.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Defined ripple current ratings at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies allow predictable thermal and performance planning in AC or switching environments.
• Compact Radial Form Factor: 2.5 cm × 1.6 cm can size with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides a space‑efficient through‑hole solution for board layouts requiring sturdy mechanical mounting.
• Endurance Under Stress: 2000 hours at 85°C with polarity inversion testing ensures the capacitor meets the UVP series’ endurance specifications for sustained operation in warmer environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports customers targeting markets with hazardous substance restrictions.
