UBC1A221MNS1GS

The UBC1A221MNS1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UBC series designed for high-temperature, vibration-resistant service. It is a polarized, surface-mount can-style capacitor specified for 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rating.

Targeted at demanding automotive and harsh-environment electronics, this part offers extended endurance at elevated temperature, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q200 qualification to support reliable operation where temperature and mechanical stress are critical factors.

Key Features

• High-temperature endurance – Rated operating range from −40 °C to 150 °C with a guaranteed load life of 1000 hours at +150 °C.
• AEC-Q200 qualification – Designed and qualified to meet automotive-grade reliability requirements for applications that require component-level assurance.
• Capacitance and voltage – 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and ±20% tolerance.
• Vibration resistance – Chip-type construction and SMD can packaging are optimized for mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments.
• Surface-mount package – Radial can, SMD mounting suitable for automated assembly; recommended land size 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm.
• Ripple performance – Specified ripple currents of 73.7 mA at 120 Hz and 110 mA at 10 kHz for smoothing and decoupling duties across frequency ranges.
• Regulatory compliance – RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics – Power filtering and decoupling in vehicle systems that demand sustained operation at elevated temperatures and under vibration.
• Harsh-environment controls – Energy storage and smoothing in industrial modules exposed to high ambient temperatures and mechanical stress.
• Power management modules – Decoupling and bulk capacitance for converters and regulators where high-temperature endurance improves system reliability.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature reliability: 1000 hours endurance at +150 °C provides long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports deployment in automotive designs that require component-level qualification.
• Compact SMD can form factor: Radial can-style surface-mount package with a small footprint (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) simplifies board layout while delivering substantial capacitance.
• Frequency-flexible ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies enable effective filtering across common power domains.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance reduces regulatory hurdles for environmental and end-product requirements.
