UCB1C101MCL1GS

The UCB1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCB series. Built for surface-mount assembly (carrier-tape feed), it delivers 100 µF at 16 V in a compact SMD can package and is polarized for typical electrolytic capacitor use.

Designed for applications requiring extended high-temperature endurance, the device offers a rated lifetime of 7000 hours at +105°C and AEC-Q200 qualification, with RoHS compliance for environmental conformity.

Key Features

• Electrical Rating — 100 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature Endurance — Load life specified at 7000 hours when operated at +105°C under rated voltage; endurance recovery characterized after restoration to 20°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 81 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 121.5 mA at 10 kHz to support decoupling and smoothing tasks in compact power circuits.
• Leakage and Dissipation — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03 CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at 20°C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) maximum 0.26 at 16 V (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Package & Mounting — Chip-type radial can for surface-mount assembly (package dimensions L: 8.7 × D: 6.3 mm) and recommended PCB land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm; compatible with automatic mounting machines using carrier tape.
• Operating Range & Reliability — Category temperature range −25°C to +105°C with impedance stability at low temperature (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 2 for 16 V units); AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive-grade reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Suitable for surface-mount assemblies in automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and 7000-hour endurance at +105°C are required.
• On-board power decoupling — Compact SMD can package and specified ripple-current ratings make this capacitor appropriate for local supply smoothing in compact power circuits.
• Embedded control electronics — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction and industry-standard electrical ratings support use in control and monitoring modules within temperature-limited environments.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature life — 7000 hours at +105°C provides predictable endurance for demanding thermal environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualified — Qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs that require established reliability standards.
• Surface-mount, carrier-tape compatible — Chip-type can packaged for automatic mounting, easing high-volume assembly and improving board-level integration.
• Compact footprint — 8.7 × 6.3 mm package size with 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land pattern conserves PCB area in dense designs.
• Verified electrical behaviour — Specified leakage current limits, tan δ (0.26 at 16 V), and ripple-current ratings enable straightforward thermal and reliability calculations.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for regulated materials management.
