220uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor

220uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor

The 220uF 16V electrolytic capacitor is a versatile aluminum electrolytic component ideal for power smoothing, decoupling, and filtering in low-voltage applications such as SMPS outputs, LED drivers, audio circuits, and microcontroller power rails. Rated at 220 μF capacitance and 16 V DC, this component ensures reliable voltage stabilization and efficient energy storage in compact form factors. Panasonic FR series capacitors—a widely recognized benchmark—offer ultra-low ESR and high ripple current capability, coupled with long operational life at 105 °C, meeting the demands of high-frequency and high-reliability electronics. High-frequency variants boast ESR around 0.5 Ω at 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 331 mA at 85 °C/120 Hz and 496 mA at 85 °C/100 kHz. Compact radial packages are typically around 6 mm in diameter × 11–13 mm length. With its low impedance and robust thermal rating, the 220uF 16V electrolytic capacitor suits a wide range of electronics—from switch-mode power supplies and LED drivers to audio amplifiers and general-purpose power filtering. Premium-grade options from brands like Panasonic, Nichicon, KEMET, and Wurth offer reliable performance and longevity for demanding designs.
