UVZ1A221MED

The UVZ1A221MED is a 220 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers stable capacitance with a ±20% tolerance and polarization suitable for low-voltage circuits.

Designed for a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and rated for 1,000 hours at 105°C, this Nichicon UVZ-series part offers measurable ripple handling and low leakage for compact, low-voltage filtering and decoupling tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, appropriate for low-voltage power stages and smoothing.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for −55°C to +105°C (for 6.3 to 100 V range in the UVZ series), supporting operation across broad thermal environments.
• Endurance — 1,000 hours at 105°C endurance rating, providing predictable life characteristics for thermal-stressed applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 175 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 262.5 mA (10 kHz) for effective AC ripple handling.
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 66 µA to help minimize standby losses and leakage-related drift in low-voltage circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (φ6.3×11L) with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant as part of the UVZ series.

Typical Applications

• Low‑voltage power supply smoothing — 220 µF at 10 V provides bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in small DC supplies.
• Decoupling and local energy reservoir — Polarized radial can package used for decoupling and transient support on PCB power rails in compact modules.
• General-purpose filtering — Suitable for general-purpose filtering tasks where wide temperature operation and measurable ripple handling are required.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operating temperature band — −55°C to +105°C rating supports reliable performance in varied thermal environments.
• Measurable ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Controlled leakage — 66 µA leakage current reduces standby losses and helps maintain predictable circuit behavior.
• Compact radial can — φ6.3×11L package with 2.5 mm lead spacing is suitable for space-conscious through-hole designs and easy manual or wave-solder assembly (packaged in bulk or bag).
• Endurance specification — 1,000 hours at 105°C provides a clear life expectation for thermal endurance planning.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as part of the UVZ family.
