UCD1C560MCL1GS

The UCD1C560MCL1GS is a Nichicon UCD-series chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly on high-density PC boards. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low impedance characteristics and specified ripple performance for demanding power applications.

Engineered with automotive-level qualification and RoHS compliance, this SMD can provides a compact, reliable option for power rail smoothing, decoupling and other board-level energy storage needs in volume production environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 56 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, rated for 16 V.
• Low Impedance Performance — Series impedance specified at 360 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient AC performance on power rails.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 120 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 240 mA (10 kHz), enabling smoothing of both low- and high-frequency disturbances.
• Reliability & Endurance — AEC-Q200 qualified with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance limits include capacitance change within ±30%, tanδ ≤200% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from -55°C to +105°C; series data shows impedance can increase (up to approximately 4× at -55°C vs +20°C), providing predictable behavior across temperature extremes.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Chip can package sized φ6.3 × 5.8 mm, surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping compatible with automatic mounting equipment.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Measured leakage current 8.96 µA and dissipation factor suitable for compact power designs requiring stable leakage performance.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting regulated production and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and a 16 V rating make this capacitor suitable for board-level power smoothing and decoupling in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems.
• High-density SMD power modules — Chip-type SMD format and low impedance support output filtering and energy storage in compact DC-DC converter modules and power supply assemblies on dense PCBs.
• Volume production assembly — Embossed carrier taping and compatibility with automatic mounting machines streamline placement and throughput for high-volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualified — Enables use in designs that require automotive-grade component qualification and documented reliability criteria.
• Compact, low-impedance chip package — Small φ6.3 × 5.8 mm SMD can with 360 mΩ impedance supports space-constrained boards without sacrificing ripple handling.
• Defined ripple current ratings — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (120 mA @120 Hz, 240 mA @10 kHz) allow designers to size bulk and decoupling capacitors against actual disturbance spectra.
• High-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C with controlled limits on capacitance change, tanδ and leakage supports longer-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging — Embossed tape packaging and SMD compatibility reduce BOM handling and support automated assembly workflows.
