Overview of UCL1A221MCL6GS – Surface Mount Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 10 V, 220 µF
The UCL1A221MCL6GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount can package. It delivers 220 µF at a 10 V rating with a -20% to +20% tolerance and is supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated PCB assembly.
Designed for demanding temperature and reliability requirements, this capacitor supports an operating range of -55°C to 105°C, a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, and carries an AEC-Q200 rating for applications where regulated qualification is required.
Key Features
- Capacitance and Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy storage in low-voltage systems.
- Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 180 mΩ and a tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.19 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling effective ripple suppression and stable AC behavior.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 250 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 500 mA (10 kHz), supporting filtering in both power-line and higher-frequency circuits.
- Leakage and Reliability — Low leakage current specified at 22 µA and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C with capacitance and tanδ stability criteria defined for long-term operation.
- Temperature Range — Wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C for use in environments with substantial thermal variation.
- Package and Mounting — Chip-type SMD can (φ8 × 6.2 mm), polarization marked and shipped in embossed carrier taping compatible with automatic mounting equipment; recommended PCB land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
- Standards and Compliance — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS directive compliance noted in the product series documentation.
Typical Applications
- Automotive power modules — Bulk decoupling and smoothing for low-voltage automotive electronics where 220 µF and low impedance improve transient response.
- ECUs and control units — Local energy storage and ripple suppression in electronic control units operating across -55°C to 105°C.
- Power filtering in sensor and infotainment subsystems — Support for both low- and high-frequency ripple requirements with specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.
Unique Advantages
- Low-impedance chip design — 180 mΩ impedance and a controlled tanδ provide reliable AC performance for filtering and decoupling tasks.
- Dual-frequency ripple capability — Defined ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz offer predictable behavior across common power and switching frequencies.
- High-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C ensures component stability and predictable degradation characteristics in elevated-temperature assemblies.
- Automated assembly ready — Embossed carrier taping and chip-style SMD can geometry support pick-and-place and reflow-friendly manufacturing flows.
- Wide thermal operating window — -55°C to 105°C operation enables use across a broad range of environmental conditions.
- Qualification and compliance — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS conformity in the series documentation help address regulated application requirements.
