UCL1C221MCL6GS

The UCL1C221MCL6GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor optimized for low-impedance power filtering in surface-mount assemblies. It delivers 220 µF at 16 V in a compact radial can SMD package (φ8 × 6.2 mm).

Designed for demanding operating conditions, this AEC-Q200-rated capacitor supports an operating temperature range of –55°C to +105°C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C, targeting automotive and other harsh-environment electronics that require proven reliability and stable performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 180 mΩ supports lower AC ripple and improved transient response in power circuits.
• Thermal & Endurance Performance — Operates from –55°C to +105°C with a lifetime specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current 250 mA at 120 Hz and 500 mA at 10 kHz to handle AC stress across frequency ranges.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 35.2 µA (measured condition per product data).
• Package & Mounting — Chip-form radial can SMD, surface-mount compatible with embossed carrier taping for automated assembly; recommended land pattern L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating and explicit application for automotive use, supporting deployment in automotive electronic modules.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — AEC-Q200 rating and –55°C to +105°C temperature range make this capacitor suitable for automotive control and power circuits.
• Automotive modules requiring long-term stability — 2000 hours endurance at 105°C addresses durability needs in under-hood or temperature-stressed modules.
• Surface-mount power assemblies — Compact φ8 × 6.2 mm chip package and embossed carrier taping support automated SMD placement in space-constrained boards.

Unique Advantages

• Proven thermal endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable life behavior in high-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating signals suitability for designs requiring industry-recognized component qualification.
