Overview of UCD1C150MCL1GS – Chip-Type Low Impedance Aluminum Electrolytic SMD, 15 µF / 16 V
The UCD1C150MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount package. It provides 15 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low leakage and controlled dissipation factor for reliable decoupling and smoothing on compact PCBs.
Designed for automated assembly and applications that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide operating conditions, the part targets automotive and electronic control applications that demand high ripple performance, a broad temperature range, and production-ready packaging.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF rated capacitance at 16 V provides a targeted solution for mid‑rail decoupling and smoothing tasks.
- Low Impedance Design — Specified impedance of 1.35 Ω and a tanδ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz support effective noise suppression and energy buffering.
- Ripple Current Performance — Low‑frequency ripple current 45 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 90 mA (10 kHz) for robust performance across a range of switching and line conditions.
- Low Leakage — Leakage current specified at 3 µA supports low standby loss and predictable bias behavior after voltage application.
- Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 rating and an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C make the device suitable for demanding environments and temperature extremes.
- Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, providing defined long-term operating characteristics for thermal stress conditions.
- Compact SMD Package — Chip-type radial can for surface mount in a φ4 × 5.8L form factor (L: 5.8 × D: 4 mm); supplied in embossed carrier taping for automatic placement.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for use in regulated manufacturing environments.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and a −55°C to +105°C rating make this capacitor suitable for control modules and body electronics that require stable filtering on 16 V rails.
- Power Supply Decoupling — Compact SMD chip form and low impedance characteristics support decoupling and smoothing on high‑density PCBs and local power rails.
- Embedded Control and Sensor Modules — Low leakage and defined ripple performance suit power conditioning and bias stabilization in embedded control and sensor interfaces.
- Automatic Assembly Lines — Supplied in embossed carrier taping for pick‑and‑place compatibility, facilitating high-volume manufacturing and consistent placement.
Unique Advantages
- Targeted Decoupling Performance: Low impedance (1.35 Ω) and measured DF (0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz) deliver predictable filtering behavior for 16 V systems.
- Frequency Versatility: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz ensure usable performance across low- and high‑frequency noise sources.
- Automotive-Ready Reliability: AEC‑Q200 rating plus a wide temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) provide traceable suitability for thermally challenging applications.
- Compact Footprint for High-Density Boards: φ4 × 5.8L SMD can offers a small physical profile for space-constrained designs while maintaining electrolytic capacitance values.
- Manufacturing-Friendly Packaging: Embossed carrier taping supports automated assembly and consistent throughput in production environments.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployment in regulated supply chains.
