UCD1K100MCL6GS

The UCD1K100MCL6GS is a Nichicon UCD-series chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for surface-mount use on high-density printed circuit boards. Engineered for low impedance performance and rated for operation up to +105°C, this part targets designs that require compact, reliable bulk and decoupling capacitance in demanding environments.

With AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, the UCD1K100MCL6GS is suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications where automated assembly and controlled electrical performance are required.

Key Features

• Chip-type, Low Impedance — Designed for low impedance performance to support power filtering and decoupling on compact PCBs.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, enabling use across a wide thermal envelope.
• Electrical Ratings — 10 µF capacitance with an 80 V rating and ±20% tolerance, suitable for higher-voltage SMD designs that need moderate capacitance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 30 mA at 120 Hz and 60 mA at 10 kHz to support AC stress in power circuits.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, meeting endurance expectations for automotive modules.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Radial can SMD package sized L: 6.2 × D: 8 mm with a recommended land pattern of 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with carrier-tape automated placement.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized design for bulk storage and smoothing applications where polarity is controlled.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for use in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems that require AEC-Q200 qualified components and reliable performance up to +105°C.
• High-Density Power Assemblies — Used for bulk decoupling and filtering on compact, surface-mounted power boards where board space is constrained.
• Automated High-Volume Production — Designed for placement from carrier tape and compatibility with automatic mounting equipment, supporting efficient mass production flows.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides documented reliability credentials for vehicle electronics and other demanding systems.
• Wide Operating Temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating enables deployment across harsh thermal environments without derating outside specified limits.
• Compact SMD Form Factor: Chip-type SMD can and defined land pattern simplify layout for high-density PCB designs while supporting automated assembly.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz give clear guidance for power-design margining and thermal planning.
• Long Endurance at High Temperature: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable lifetime behavior for long-term applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in markets requiring restricted-substance compliance.
