UCL1C220MCL6GS

The UCL1C220MCL6GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount can. It provides 22 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with design attributes targeted for demanding temperature and ripple environments.

Designed for automated assembly and engineered for applications requiring compact smoothing, decoupling and ripple handling in automotive systems, the part combines low impedance, defined ripple current ratings and long endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 22 µF capacitance at 16 V with tolerance ±20% (–20% to +20%). Tan δ (DF) is 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and impedance is specified at 850 mΩ.
• Ripple and Leakage — Low‑frequency ripple current 80 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 160 mA at 100 kHz; measured leakage current is 3.52 µA.
• Package and Mounting — Chip‑type radial can for surface mount (φ4 × 5.8 mm), supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated placement; recommended land size L: 4.3 × W: 4.3 mm.
• Temperature and Endurance — Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Quality and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant to the RoHS directive as stated in the product documentation.
• Identification — Black print marking on the case top for clear identification during assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Provides local decoupling and smoothing for 16 V automotive electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance are required.
• DC‑DC converter output filtering — Low impedance and defined ripple current ratings make it suitable for stabilizing converter outputs and reducing voltage ripple.
• On‑board power decoupling — Compact chip form factor and embossed carrier tape support automated placement for dense PCB power management networks.

Unique Advantages

• Compact SMD can — φ4 × 5.8 mm package delivers capacitance in a small footprint for space‑constrained designs.
• Low impedance and controlled losses — 850 mΩ impedance and tan δ = 0.16 (16 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) support stable performance in filtering and decoupling roles.
• Defined ripple handling — Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (80 mA @120 Hz, 160 mA @100 kHz) allow predictable behavior across operating frequencies.
• High‑temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage provides longevity in elevated ambient conditions.
• Automated assembly ready — Supplied in embossed carrier tape and suitable for automatic mounting machines to streamline high‑volume production.
• Qualification and compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated manufacturing environments.
