UVZ1C221MED

The UVZ1C221MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UVZ series, offering 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose electronic circuits that require compact polarized bulk capacitance with a wide operating temperature range.

This part provides a balanced combination of capacitance, rated voltage, and ripple-handling capability in a small φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing, and is supplied in bulk or bag packing. It is RoHS compliant and has an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable charge storage.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a quantified dissipation factor for circuit design considerations.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current: 190 mA at 120 Hz; high-frequency ripple current: 285 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and filtering within the specified limits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 105.6 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational from −55°C to +105°C, covering a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Endurance — Rated life of 1000 hours at 105°C (per series endurance specification), supporting long-term thermal stress applications.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole assemblies.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing to suit different assembly and handling workflows.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant as noted in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance for smoothing supply rails where 220 µF at 16 V is required and ripple current requirements match the specified ratings.
• Decoupling and local energy storage — Provides charge reservoir capability for circuits that need polarized electrolytic capacitance in a compact radial can.
• Industrial and embedded electronics — Suitable for designs that require operation across −55°C to +105°C and a defined 1000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Measured dissipation factor provided — tanδ = 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz gives designers explicit loss information for thermal and AC performance calculations.
• Defined ripple performance — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (190 mA at 120 Hz, 285 mA at 10 kHz) help match the capacitor to switching and line-frequency applications.
• Wide operating temperature — −55°C to +105°C rating supports applications across a broad thermal range without need for derating beyond specified endurance conditions.
• Compact, through-hole form factor — Small φ6.3 × 11 mm radial can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable dense board layouts and common through-hole assembly processes.
• Endurance specification — 1000 hours at 105°C provides a clear reliability target for thermal stress planning and lifecycle assessment.
• RoHS compliance — Meets environmental directive requirements as specified in the product data.
