Question about the ECDH

Hello everyone, when I use the bouncycastle encryption library, I get a question about ECDH. With ECDH, the length of the value is 32 bytes and the length of the javacard is 20 bytes. What happened? Does anyone know why?

32 bytes corresponding to ECC256, ECDH protocol based on ecc curve 256 bit,
20 bytes corresponding to ECC160, ECDH protocol based on ecc curve 160 bit

According the API specification of jc304 or above, the result will be hash with SHA1.
ALG_EC_SVDP_DH
public static final byte ALG_EC_SVDP_DH
Elliptic curve secret value derivation primitive, Diffie-Hellman version, as per [IEEE P1363].
Note:
This algorithm computes the SHA-1 message digest of the output of the derivation primitive to yield a 20 byte result.

there will have SHA_1 calculation in the last step of ECDH and the result of SHA_1 is 20 bytes
