Based on the part number **MVH16V2CG-R**, this component is a **Surface Mount (SMD) Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor**, typically manufactured by **United Chemi-Con (Nippon Chemi-Con)**. It belongs to the **MVH series**, which is designed for high-temperature environments and low impedance. ### Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Capacitance** | 2.2 µF (Identified by "2C") | | **Voltage Rating** | 16V DC | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (Standard for electrolytic caps) | | **Series** | MVH (High Temperature, Low Impedance) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +125°C | | **Endurance (Life)** | 1,000 to 2,000 hours at 125°C | | **Case Size Code** | G (Approx. 4mm x 5.2mm or 5mm x 5.7mm depending on exact catalog) | | **Packaging** | Tape & Reel (Indicated by "-R") | --- ### Key Features and Construction 1. **Low Impedance:** The MVH series is optimized for high-frequency filtering, making it more efficient at smoothing voltage ripples than standard general-purpose capacitors. 2. **High Temperature Resilience:** Unlike standard 85°C or 105°C capacitors, this part is rated for **125°C**, making it suitable for automotive and industrial power supplies. 3. **SMD Design:** The flat base (often called a "V-chip") is designed for automated pick-and-place machines and reflow soldering. 4. **Polarity:** As an electrolytic capacitor, it is polarized. The top of the aluminum can usually has a black or colored marking indicating the **negative (-)** terminal. --- ### Part Number Breakdown | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **MVH** | Series name (High temp, low impedance, SMD) | | **16** | Rated Voltage (16 Volts) | | **V** | Surface Mount type | | **2C** | Capacitance code (2.2 µF) | | **G** | Case Size dimensions | | **-R** | Packaging (Tape & Reel) | --- ### Typical Applications * **Automotive Electronics:** Engine control units (ECUs) and sensors located in high-heat areas. * **Power Supplies:** DC-DC converters requiring low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). * **Industrial Automation:** Equipment that operates in unventilated or high-ambient temperature cabinets.
