UVR1C221MED

The UVR1C221MED is a miniature radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVR series. It is a standard‑type, polarized capacitor specified at 220 µF with a 16 V rating and a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can size (listed as L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm).

Designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics applications, the UVR1C221MED combines a small footprint with defined ripple current capability, low leakage, and a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C to support reliable low‑voltage filtering and decoupling in compact designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20%; rated for 16 V operation.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package sized φ6.3 × 11 mm (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm); lead spacing 2.5 mm with 0.5 mm tolerance; available in bulk/bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C; endurance specified as 2000 hours at 85°C with rated voltage applied.
• Ripple Current & Leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current 260 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 390 mA (10 kHz); measured leakage current 105.6 µA.
• Dissipation Factor — tanδ (DF) = 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Suited for smoothing and filtering tasks in consumer A/V and related equipment where the UVR series is specified for miniature designs.
• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Reservoir and smoothing capacitor in low‑voltage power supplies and converter outputs.
• Compact Circuit Decoupling — Local decoupling and bulk capacitance in compact, low‑voltage electronic assemblies that require a small can and radial‑lead mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: Small φ6.3 × 11 mm can size and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable use in space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• Defined ripple handling: Specified ripple current values for both low and high frequencies (260 mA @120 Hz, 390 mA @10 kHz) support reliable filtering in switching and linear power circuits.
• Low leakage: Measured leakage current of 105.6 µA helps minimize standby losses and improves stability in low‑current applications.
• Temperature and endurance specification: Rated for −40°C to +85°C with a 2000‑hour endurance at 85°C, providing known lifetime behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• Industry compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in products targeting regulated markets.
• Proven series pedigree: Part of Nichicon’s UVR miniature standard series tailored for entertainment and general‑purpose electronics.
