UVP1V221MHD

The UVP1V221MHD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVP series, designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It provides a 220 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a radial, can-style package suitable for through-hole mounting.

With a wide operating temperature range and endurance rated at 2000 hours at 85°C, this component is intended for designers who need a compact, RoHS-compliant bi-polar capacitor with measurable ripple-handling and leakage characteristics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 35 V, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Bi-Polarized Construction — Bi-polarized capacitor architecture suitable where non-polar operation is required.
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current of 410 mA at 120 Hz and 615 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC and high-frequency ripple conditions within specified limits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 2 cm × D: 1.25 cm for through-hole assemblies and serviceable board layouts.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating temperature range from –40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion every 250 hours during the test period).
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specification: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage is not more than 0.03CV (µA), providing predictable idle losses.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for environmentally restricted product lines.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Part of the UVP standard bi-polarized series tailored for audio, video and consumer entertainment circuit designs where bi-polar capacitors are specified.
• General-Purpose Circuits — Used in general-purpose PCB designs requiring non-polar electrolytic capacitance and through-hole mounting.
• Through-Hole Assemblies & Repairs — Radial lead format and conventional can package make the part suitable for legacy boards, service, and rebuild applications.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar capability: Eliminates polarity constraints for AC or reversing-voltage applications typical in entertainment electronics.
• Clear performance metrics: 220 µF at 35 V with specified ripple ratings (410 mA at 120 Hz, 615 mA at 10 kHz) allows designers to match capacitor selection to expected ripple profiles.
• Endurance specification: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with defined test conditions (polarity inversion every 250 hours), supporting predictable lifetime planning.
• Low, predictable leakage: Leakage current limited to ≤0.03CV (µA) after 5 minutes at 20°C, aiding low-leakage circuit designs and power budgeting.
• Compact radial can package: Physical footprint L: 2 cm × D: 1.25 cm with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole PCB integration and mechanical retention.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directives for environmentally restricted manufacturing and product compliance requirements.
