UVY2C221MHD

The UVY2C221MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVY series, rated at 220 µF and 160 V. It is a polarized, general-purpose capacitor designed for through-hole radial mounting in power and electronics applications.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, and ripple current ratings specified for both low and high frequencies—making it suitable where stable bulk capacitance and thermal endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 160 V for higher-voltage DC applications.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance: Operates from -40°C to 105°C with a lifetime/endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Performance: Low-frequency ripple current 410 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 656 mA (10 kHz), supporting both mains-frequency and higher-frequency power environments.
• Loss Characteristics: Dissipation factor (tanδ) of 0.2 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for predictable AC loss behavior.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 1508 µA, enabling designers to account for standby and quiescent current in power budgets.
• Package & Mounting: Radial, can-style package sized φ16 × 30.5 mm with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance & Availability: RoHS-compliant and in mass production for immediate supply to production and engineering builds.
• Polarization: Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC smoothing and energy-storage use cases.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power supplies where 160 V rating and 220 µF capacitance are required.
• Industrial electronics: Power modules and control electronics operating across a wide temperature range and requiring 2000-hour endurance at elevated temperatures.
• High-voltage DC link support: Energy storage and filtering in mid-voltage DC circuits benefiting from the capacitor's 160 V rating and defined ripple current characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC applications without uprating multiple lower-voltage components.
• Thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C supports long-term operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Frequency-aware ripple performance: Separate ripple current ratings for 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow predictable behavior across common power frequencies.
• Compact radial can: φ16 × 30.5 mm footprint and 7.5 mm lead spacing provide a balance of capacitance and board-space efficiency for through-hole designs.
• Production-ready supply: RoHS compliance and mass-production status simplify procurement and design-for-manufacture planning.
