UVP1V220MED

The UVP1V220MED is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVP series, designed for entertainment electronics and general-purpose circuits. It combines a 22 µF capacitance with a 35 V rating in a compact radial-can package suited for PCB mounting.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), RoHS compliance, and specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion testing, making it suitable for applications where bi-polar performance and reliable long-term operation are required.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Design Designed as a bi-polarized capacitor suitable for circuits where polarity can reverse; part of the UVP standard bi-polarized series for entertainment electronics.
• Electrical Ratings 22 µF capacitance at 35 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20 °C), providing clearly specified performance for design calculations.
• Package & Mechanical Radial can package with radial leads and a lead spacing of 2.5 mm; compact dimensions L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm and a seated height max of 1.1 cm for space-constrained PCBs.
• Temperature & Lifetime Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours.
• Ripple Current Performance Specified ripple current of 73 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 146 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), with frequency coefficients defined by the UVP series.
• Environmental Compliance Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), enabling use in lead-free product designs.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics Designed as part of a standard bi-polarized series targeted at entertainment electronics where reversible polarity and reliable decoupling are needed.
• General-Purpose PCB Circuits Suitable for general-purpose circuit functions in consumer and electronic devices that require a compact radial electrolytic solution.
• Circuits with Polarity Reversal Appropriate for circuit topologies that may experience polarity inversion, supported by the UVP series endurance testing with polarity inversion cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar capability: Enables use in AC-coupling and circuits where polarity may reverse, reducing the need for additional protection components.
• Compact radial package: Small L × D footprint (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing help conserve PCB area in tight layouts.
• Defined long-term endurance: 2000 hours at 85 °C (with polarity inversion test protocol) provides designers with measurable life expectancy for reliability planning.
• Frequency-aware ripple specs: Published ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow engineers to size the capacitor for expected operating frequencies.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
