UVY1E221MED

The UVY1E221MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVY series. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose circuit applications.

Built for wide temperature operation (−55 °C to 105 °C) and a 1000‑hour endurance at 105 °C, this component balances a small case footprint with defined ripple handling and leakage characteristics for reliable power decoupling and energy storage in compact designs. The part is RoHS‑compliant and supplied in bulk or bag packing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance with a 25 V working voltage; capacitance tolerance is ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55 °C to 105 °C, supporting designs that require extended thermal range.
• Endurance — 1000 hours at 105 °C life rating, with specified limits for capacitance change and dissipation factor after endurance testing.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified at 165 µA.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 200 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 300 mA at 10 kHz, addressing common ripple conditions in power circuits.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole designs; available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Constructed to meet RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose circuits — Used where a compact, polarized 220 µF, 25 V electrolytic capacitor is required for energy storage or decoupling in through-hole assemblies.
• Power supply filtering — Provides smoothing and ripple attenuation within the specified ripple current and temperature ranges.
• Compact consumer or industrial electronics — Fits space-constrained printed circuit boards that require reliable electrolytic capacitance and wide temperature tolerance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint: The φ6.3 × 11 mm can delivers 220 µF in a small radial package, enabling reduced board area for through-hole designs.
• Wide operating temperature: −55 °C to 105 °C rating supports a broad range of ambient conditions without derating outside the specified limits.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (200 mA at 120 Hz, 300 mA at 10 kHz) let designers match capacitor selection to expected operating conditions.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.16 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (165 µA) provide predictable behavior for circuit design and validation.
• Series-level design consistency: As a member of the UVY series, the part follows Nichicon’s UVY specifications for wide temperature operation and compact case sizing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction simplifies environmental conformity for end products.
