The UCJ1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCJ series engineered for high-temperature operation. It is specified for operation from -40°C to +125°C and is designed for surface-mount assembly with carrier-tape compatibility.

Targeted for demanding electronic assemblies, this part combines AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance with defined low-temperature ESR behavior and long-term high-temperature endurance, making it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature electronics applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 16 VDC, tolerance ±20%.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified operating temperature -40°C to +125°C with a lifetime rating of 2000 hours at 125°C; endurance limits include capacitance change within ±30% after the endurance test.
• Low-temperature ESR Characterization — ESR specification is provided following the -40°C test to help ensure predictable performance at low temperatures.
• Surface-mount Package — Chip-type radial can SMD package designed for automatic mounting machines using carrier tape; compact dimensions L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Electrical Performance — Ripple current ratings of 125 mA at 120 Hz and 250 mA at 10 kHz; leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after 1 minute at 20°C.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for electronic modules requiring AEC-Q200 qualification and operation across -40°C to +125°C.
• High-temperature assemblies — Intended for designs that require continuous operation and verified endurance at elevated temperatures (2000 hours at 125°C).
• Compact SMD designs — Chip-type SMD form factor and carrier-tape compatibility streamline automated placement in space-constrained assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 125°C, providing quantified long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets the AEC-Q200 standard for passive components, supporting use in systems that require automotive-grade component qualification.
• Low-temperature performance data: ESR is specified after -40°C testing, giving designers clearer expectations for behavior in cold conditions.
• SMD-ready packaging: Chip-type radial can SMD package with carrier-tape compatibility enables efficient automated assembly and consistent placement.
• Defined electrical limits: Ripple current and leakage current specifications (125 mA @120 Hz, 250 mA @10 kHz; leakage ≤ 0.03CV or 4 µA) allow predictable thermal and leakage budgeting in designs.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
