UCL1C102MNL1GS

The UCL1C102MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCL series, designed for surface-mount assembly and automatic placement from carrier tape. It delivers a 1 mF capacitance at 16 V in a compact SMD can-style package.

Engineered for automotive and other demanding environments, this part offers low impedance, wide operating temperature range (–55 °C to +105 °C), AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance—making it suitable where reliable bulk capacitance and ripple handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 60 mΩ to support effective ripple current handling in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Ratings — 595 mA at 120 Hz and 1.19 A at 10 kHz, providing measurable AC current capability for filtering and decoupling.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated for continuous operation to +105 °C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Operating Temperature Range — –55 °C to +105 °C, with low-temperature impedance stability data provided by the UCL series specifications.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount, radial can SMD style designed for automatic mounting from carrier tape; compact footprint L: 1.35 × D: 1.00 cm with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Series-level leakage and tan δ specifications apply (leakage ≤ 0.01·C·V or 3 µA after 2 minutes; tan δ max. 0.16 at 16 V, 120 Hz, 20 °C).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Bulk and decoupling capacitance for 12–16 V systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC‑DC converters and point-of-load filtering — Low impedance and specified ripple current ratings suit smoothing and output decoupling duties.
• Infotainment and telematics modules — Compact SMD can format and automated tape feed compatibility for high-volume assembly in vehicle electronics.
• Industrial control electronics — Use in power-conditioning roles where wide operating temperature range and long endurance at elevated temperature are important.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable low-impedance benefit — 60 mΩ impedance supports lower ripple voltage and improved transient response compared to higher-impedance capacitors.
• Qualified for automotive environments — AEC-Q200 qualification provides documented screening and reliability expectations for vehicle electronics applications.
• High-temperature lifetime — 2000 hours at 105 °C endurance rating gives a defined reliability envelope for elevated-temperature deployments.
• Assembly-ready SMD package — Designed for carrier-tape automated placement to simplify high-volume PCB assembly and reduce handling steps.
• Verified ripple handling — Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enables selection based on measured AC load conditions.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 for use in restricted-substance applications.
