UCD1A220MCL1GS

The UCD1A220MCL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCD series, offered as a chip-type, low-impedance SMD solution. With a 22 µF nominal capacitance at 10 V, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and a rated temperature range to 105 °C, it is designed for compact, high-density PCB assemblies in automotive and industrial electronics.

This part combines a low loss tangent, defined ripple current ratings at low and high frequencies, and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105 °C, making it suitable where small size and predictable performance across temperature are required.

Key Features

• Electrical — Nominal capacitance 22 µF with tolerance −20% to +20% and rated voltage 10 V.
• Low loss & impedance — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.19 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 10 V and specified impedance 1.35 Ω for compact low-impedance designs.
• Ripple current ratings — Low-frequency ripple current 45 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 90 mA at 10 kHz, specified for defined operating conditions.
• Leakage current — Specified leakage current up to 3 µA after standard voltage application at 20 °C.
• Reliability and endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C (endurance condition), with capacitance, tanδ and leakage limits specified for post‑test performance.
• Temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for wide thermal margin in demanding environments.
• Package and mounting — Chip-type radial can SMD package, size φ4 × 5.8 mm (D × L), surface-mount land size 4.3 × 4.3 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Qualification & compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Designed for use in automotive systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualified SMD capacitors with controlled endurance at elevated temperature.
• High-density PCB assemblies — Chip-type SMD format and embossed carrier taping enable automated placement on compact boards.
• Temperature-challenged environments — Specified operation from −55 °C to +105 °C and a 2000‑hour endurance rating at 105 °C suit long-term use in harsh thermal conditions.

Unique Advantages

• Compact low-impedance performance — 22 µF at 10 V with 1.35 Ω impedance and tanδ 0.19 supports space-constrained designs that still require defined loss characteristics.
• Defined ripple capability — Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (45 mA and 90 mA) allow designers to size capacitors against both low‑ and high‑frequency stress conditions.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification provides a verified supply component for automotive electronics development and production programs.
• High-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105 °C gives designers predictable aging information and supports long-term reliability planning.
• Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and SMD chip format streamline automated placement for high-volume manufacturing.
