UCL1A221MCL1GS

The UCL1A221MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating and is engineered for automated PCB assembly with embossed carrier taping.

Designed for demanding temperature environments, this part supports operation from −55°C to +105°C and meets AEC-Q200 qualification. It offers measurable endurance—2000 hours at 105°C—combined with low impedance and defined ripple and leakage characteristics for reliable power conditioning in compact SMT designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 220 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and 10 V rated voltage; impedance specified at 160 mΩ and tanδ 0.19 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple Handling: Rated low-frequency ripple current 300 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 600 mA at 10 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under varying switching conditions.
• Leakage Current: Leakage current specified at 22 µA, providing predictable quiescent behavior after voltage application.
• Temperature and Endurance: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with endurance rated 2000 hours at 105°C (meets the endurance criteria after recovery to 20°C).
• Qualification & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant to the RoHS directive as noted in the series datasheet.
• Package & Assembly: Compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm SMD can (radial, can - SMD) with embossed carrier taping for compatibility with automated placement equipment; surface-mount land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: AEC-Q200 qualification and the specified electrical/temperature characteristics make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules requiring a 10 V, 220 µF SMD solution.
• Automated PCB assembly: Designed for automatic mounting using embossed carrier tape, streamlining integration into high-volume SMT production.
• Compact power modules: Small φ6.3 × 7.7 mm package supports space-constrained boards needing defined capacitance and ripple performance at 10 V.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance, chip-type construction: Provides stable impedance (160 mΩ) and controlled tanδ for predictable AC performance in compact form factors.
• Broad temperature capability: Rated from −55°C to +105°C with 2000-hour endurance at high temperature, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in applications where industry qualification is required.
• Assembly-friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping enables efficient automated placement and reduces handling complexity on production lines.
• Defined ripple and leakage specs: Clear ripple current ratings (300 mA @120 Hz, 600 mA @10 kHz) and 22 µA leakage current allow designers to specify performance with confidence.
