UVZ2A221MHD

The UVZ2A221MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can package offering 220 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating. It is part of Nichicon’s UVZ series and is intended for general-purpose electronic applications that require bulk capacitance in a compact, through-hole form.

Key strengths include a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C, rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, defined low- and high-frequency ripple current capability (440 mA at 120 Hz and 660 mA at 10 kHz), and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage  220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 100 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Loss  Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting stable AC performance.
• Ripple Current Performance  Specified low-frequency ripple current of 440 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 660 mA at 10 kHz to handle both line-frequency and switching ripple.
• Leakage Current  Leakage current specified at 660 µA.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance  Operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C with a life rating of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Radial Package & Dimensions  Radial lead can, size φ12.5 × 25L, lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering  Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power supplies and converters up to 100 V, using the 220 µF capacitance and defined ripple current capability.
• Industrial and control equipment  Systems that require extended temperature operation and endurance benefit from the −55°C to 105°C range and 2000-hour life at 105°C.
• Compact through-hole assemblies  Applications needing a space-efficient radial electrolytic with φ12.5 × 25L dimensions and 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward PCB mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operating temperature span  Supports designs exposed to broad thermal environments (−55°C to 105°C).
• Predictable elevated-temperature life  2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage delivers a known endurance metric for thermal-stressed designs.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability  Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz accommodate a range of line- and switching-frequency applications.
• Defined low loss  tanδ of 0.08 (20°C, 120 Hz) helps maintain efficiency and reduce heating in AC conditions.
• Compact radial form factor  φ12.5 × 25L can and 5 mm lead spacing provide a balance of capacitance and board-space economy for through-hole designs.
• RoHS compliance  Meets regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
