UCL1C101MCL6GS

The UCL1C101MCL6GS is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount can. It delivers 100 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating with ±20% tolerance and is designed for automated assembly using embossed carrier taping.

Engineered for demanding environments, this capacitor supports an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable for robust electronics where temperature endurance and reliable ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — tanδ (DF) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz (16 V condition) and specified impedance of 160 mΩ to support stable decoupling and filtering performance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Supports 300 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 600 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective ripple suppression across a wide frequency range.
• Reliability & Endurance — Lifetime rating of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined capacitance, DF, and leakage current limits after the endurance test.
• Thermal Range — Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for use in harsh thermal environments.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package — Can style SMD (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) with surface mount land recommendation of 6.6 × 6.6 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape for pick‑and‑place automation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 16 µA (manufacturer part condition).
• Standards — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS directive, per manufacturer information.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Energy storage and smoothing in vehicle electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high temperature endurance are required.
• Power rail decoupling — Bulk decoupling and ripple suppression on DC power rails, leveraging both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current capabilities.
• Space‑constrained assemblies — Compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm can for board designs that require high capacitance density in a small SMD footprint and tape‑and‑reel supply.

Unique Advantages

• High temperature endurance: Rated for operation to +105°C with 2000 hour endurance at that temperature, supporting long‑term reliability in hot environments.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides an added level of design assurance for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Balanced ripple performance: Distinct low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (300 mA @120 Hz, 600 mA @10 kHz) enable effective filtering across frequency ranges.
• Automated assembly ready: Supplied in embossed carrier taping for compatibility with automated pick‑and‑place equipment and high‑volume production flows.
• Compact low‑impedance solution: 160 mΩ impedance and a chip‑type can provide low ESR characteristics in a small SMD form factor for tight layouts.
• RoHS compliant: Manufacturer lists compliance with RoHS directives, aiding regulatory and environmental requirements.
