UVZ2C221MHD

The UVZ2C221MHD is a Nichicon UVZ-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, offering 220 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage. It is designed for general-purpose use where a polarized electrolytic with a compact radial package and reliable performance across a wide temperature range is required.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include a -40 °C to 105 °C operating temperature range, 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C, measurable ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies, and a φ16 × 35.5 mm can size with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage  220 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ)  tanδ = 0.2 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing a verified dissipation factor for design verification.
• Ripple Current Handling  Low-frequency ripple current 570 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 912 mA (10 kHz) for filtering and decoupling across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current  Specified leakage current of 1508 µA (measured per product conditions) to size bleeder or standby current budgets accurately.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance  Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C, suitable for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Radial Can Package  φ16 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (tolerance ±0.5 mm), supplied bulk or bag packed for through-hole assembly and manual or machine insertion.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant and offered in mass-production status from Nichicon.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering  Use as bulk smoothing and decoupling in general-purpose power supplies where 220 µF at 160 V is required and radial mounting is acceptable.
• Industrial Electronics  Suitable for general-purpose industrial circuits that require a wide operating temperature range (−40 °C to 105 °C) and long endurance at elevated temperatures.
• General-Purpose Energy Storage  Acts as a polarized energy reservoir for systems that need moderate ripple-handling capability across low and high frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Design-Ready Voltage and Capacitance: 220 µF at 160 V provides a clear electrical specification for engineers sizing bulk capacitance in medium-voltage designs.
• Measured Loss and Leakage Specifications: Specified tanδ (0.2 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (1508 µA) let you quantify dissipation and standby currents precisely.
• Frequency-Range Ripple Capability: Both low-frequency (570 mA at 120 Hz) and high-frequency (912 mA at 10 kHz) ripple ratings help validate performance across ripple spectra.
• Thermal Endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C endurance rating supports designs that operate continuously at elevated temperatures.
• Through-Hole, Radial Form Factor: φ16 × 35.5 mm can and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify replacement, prototyping, and assembly in through-hole and mixed-technology boards.
• RoHS Compliant & Production-Ready: RoHS compliance and mass production availability support regulatory requirements and predictable sourcing.
