Nichicon UES1H220MPM Muse ES Series Audio Capacitor, 22uF 50V, Bi-Polar Radial, 10x12.5mm - Pack of 20

The Nichicon UES1H220MPM is a premium bi-polar (non-polarized) aluminum electrolytic capacitor belonging to the highly regarded "Muse" ES series. Specifically engineered for high-fidelity audio equipment, the Muse ES series is designed to provide a rich and natural soundstage with superior transparency. As a bi-polar component, it is ideally suited for signal path applications where the electrical polarity may reverse or where no DC bias is present, ensuring consistent performance in both analog and digital audio circuits.

Key Features

• Acoustic Quality: Part of the Nichicon Muse lineup, featuring specialized materials and electrolyte technology to minimize harmonic distortion and enhance low-frequency clarity.
• Bi-Polar (Non-Polar) Architecture: Eliminates the need for orientation during installation, making it perfect for audio signal coupling, feedback loops, and speaker crossover networks.
• High Stability: Offers a low dissipation factor of 0.12 and a very low leakage current (3 µA), maintaining signal integrity in sensitive pre-amplifiers and DACs.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for an operating range of -40°C to +85°C with a 1,000-hour load life, ensuring longevity in high-performance audio environments.
• Precise Form Factor: The 10x12.5mm radial housing with a 5mm lead spacing allows for easy integration into standard through-hole PCB designs for professional audio gear.
