Overview of UCH1H221MCL1GS – 220 µF, 50 V AEC-Q200 SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The UCH1H221MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package designed for high-reliability applications. With a rated capacitance of 220 µF and a 50 V rating, it targets demanding environments where temperature stability and assembly compatibility are important.
Key value propositions include AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C, and low-temperature ESR specification verified after a −40 °C test. The part is suitable for automated assembly processes using carrier tape.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 50 V, ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified for operation from −40 °C to 125 °C with endurance validated to 2000 hours at 125 °C.
- Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified for high-reliability applications and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
- Low-Temperature ESR — ESR specification includes measurements after a −40 °C test to ensure performance in cold conditions; equivalent series resistance is 250 mΩ at 100 kHz.
- Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 200 mA at 120 Hz and 400 mA at 10 kHz, with published frequency coefficients for ripple current scaling.
- Surface-Mount Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can SMD package compatible with automatic mounting machines fed by carrier tape; surface mount land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm.
