UCL1C151MCL1GS

The UCL1C151MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount can. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at 16 V with design characteristics geared to automatic assembly and high‑temperature endurance.

This part is targeted at applications requiring a robust SMD electrolytic solution—including automotive electronics—by combining low impedance, elevated ripple handling and a wide operating temperature range up to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 150 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance; rated impedance of 160 mΩ and tan δ of 0.16 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) provide predictable AC behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 300 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 600 mA (10 kHz) to support demanding ripple environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 24 µA for controlled DC leakage in sensitive circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105 °C, retaining specified capacitance, tan δ and leakage performance after endurance testing.
• Temperature Range & Stability — Operating range from −55 °C to +105 °C with stable impedance characteristics across the specified range.
• Compact SMD Package — φ6.3 × 7.7 mm can size with a surface‑mount land recommendation of 6.6 × 6.6 mm for space‑constrained PCB layouts.
• Assembly‑Friendly Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping suitable for automatic mounting machines.
• Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated, supporting use in equipment that requires that qualification level.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Use in automotive electronic systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance (2000 h at 105 °C) are required.
• Compact SMD power modules — Small φ6.3 × 7.7 mm footprint and embossed carrier taping enable automatic pick‑and‑place assembly in space‑limited power boards.
• High‑temperature equipment — Suitable for electronic assemblies operating across −55 °C to +105 °C that require reliable capacitance and leakage performance over time.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 150 µF in a φ6.3 × 7.7 mm package helps reduce PCB area without sacrificing capacitance.
• Low impedance and controlled dissipation — 160 mΩ impedance and tan δ specified at 120 Hz (0.16) aid predictable AC performance in power circuits.
• Robust ripple handling — Specified LF and HF ripple currents (300 mA at 120 Hz; 600 mA at 10 kHz) accommodate a range of switching and AC conditions.
• Designed for high‑temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105 °C provides documented longevity for demanding thermal environments.
• Assembly ready — Embossed carrier taping and chip‑type format enable efficient automatic mounting.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification — Offers the qualification level required for many automotive and rugged electronic designs.
