UCB1C471MNL1GS

The UCB1C471MNL1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCB series, specified at 470 µF and 16 V. It is a surface‑mount radial can (chip) package designed for automated assembly with carrier tape feed.

Key strengths include a long rated load life of 7000 hours at +105°C and AEC‑Q200 qualification, making it suitable for demanding automotive electronics where extended high‑temperature endurance and compliance are required. Note: this part is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with a tolerance of ±20% (−20% to +20%).
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Load life rated for 7000 hours at +105°C; endurance performance criteria include capacitance change within ±30% and leakage current within initial specified values after the life test.
• Automotive Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualified and specified for an operating temperature range of −25°C to +105°C, addressing robustness expectations for automotive electronics.
• Surface-Mount Chip Package — Chip (radial can SMD) package designed for automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape, with a compact footprint (L: 1 × D: 1 cm) and suggested land size (L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm).
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 254 mA at 120 Hz and 381 mA at 10 kHz, supporting power filtering and decoupling duties across low and high frequencies.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Supplies — Suitable for smoothing and energy storage in automotive onboard power systems where long life at high temperature is required.
• Automotive Control Modules — Applicable to electronic control units and modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and sustained performance up to +105°C.
• On‑board Filtering and Decoupling — Used for ripple suppression and decoupling in automotive circuits leveraging the specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance: 7000 hours rated life at +105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long‑term applications.
• Automotive Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in regulated automotive electronic assemblies.
• Assembly‑Friendly Package: Chip form factor compatible with carrier tape automated mounting simplifies high‑volume PCB assembly.
• Wide Operating Range: −25°C to +105°C operating temperature range addresses a broad set of thermal environments.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to current RoHS requirements for environmental compliance.
• Measurable Ripple Handling: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies enable confident design for power noise mitigation.

Why Choose UCB1C471MNL1GS?

UCB1C471MNL1GS combines a high capacitance density (470 µF) with a 16 V rating in a compact chip SMD can, engineered for long life under high temperature stress and validated to AEC‑Q200 standards. Its specification set — including ripple current ratings and RoHS compliance — makes it a practical choice where durability and regulatory conformance are required.

Because this part is scheduled for discontinuation and not recommended for new designs, it is best suited for sustaining existing production or replacement needs where the documented endurance and package compatibility match project requirements.
