UVP2A221MHD

The UVP2A221MHD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 220 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a radial can package. It is part of Nichicon’s UVP series, a standard bi‑polarized family designed for entertainment electronics and general‑purpose applications.

Designed for through‑hole assembly, this component combines a radial lead package and a compact footprint with specified ripple current capability and a defined endurance profile, and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance with a 100 V nominal voltage.
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design suitable for applications requiring alternating or polarity‑inverted operation as characterized by the series endurance test.
• Tolerance & Loss — Capacitance tolerance ±20% and a maximum tan δ of 0.10 at the 100 V rating (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) as specified by the series data.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm, suited for through‑hole assembly.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating range −40°C to +85°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 85°C (rated voltage applied, polarity inverted every 250 hours).
• Ripple Performance — Rated ripple currents: 720 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.08 A at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective AC ripple handling within specified limits.
• Leakage & Reliability — Leakage current criterion: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage is not more than 0.03 C·V (μA) per the series specification; endurance limits define acceptable capacitance change and leakage after stress.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Part of a standard bi‑polarized series targeted for entertainment electronics where bi‑polar capacitors are specified.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Applicable where a 220 µF, 100 V bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for general circuit functions.
• Through‑Hole Assemblies — Radial lead configuration and can package make it suitable for PCB through‑hole mounting and repairable designs.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar design for polarity‑inverted use: The UVP2A221MHD is built as a bi‑polar capacitor and the series endurance test includes polarity inversion, demonstrating its suitability in alternating/polarity‑reversed conditions defined by the datasheet.
• High working voltage: 100 V rating supports higher‑voltage circuit segments while maintaining the specified capacitance.
• Defined ripple capability: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear limits for AC ripple handling in design calculations.
• Temperature and endurance specification: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 85°C, providing predictable behaviour over the defined lifecycle.
• Manufacturing‑friendly package: Radial lead, can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing supports conventional through‑hole assembly and straightforward mechanical retention.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements listed in the product data.

Why Choose UVP2A221MHD?

The UVP2A221MHD positions itself as a reliable, specification‑driven choice when a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a 220 µF / 100 V rating is required.
