UCL1C331MCL6GS

The UCL1C331MCL6GS is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface‑mount can package designed for automated assembly. It delivers 330 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with performance targeted for demanding temperature and ripple environments.

With AEC‑Q200 qualification, operation from −55°C to +105°C and a 2000 h endurance at 105°C, this device is positioned for reliable power filtering and decoupling in automotive and other high‑temperature applications where robustness and automated placement are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF capacitance rated for 16 V operation, with tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance Chip Type — Designed as a low‑impedance chip style capacitor; specified impedance is 100 mΩ for the part.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tanδ specified at 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable loss behavior in AC conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 425 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 850 mA (10 kHz) to support a range of power supply conditions.
• Leakage Current — Part‑specific leakage current of 52.8 µA at rated conditions.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C with defined limits on capacitance change, tanδ and leakage current after test.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with the RoHS directive as stated in the series datasheet.
• Package & Mounting — Surface mount radial can (chip type) in a compact φ10 × 7.7 mm can size supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated placement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Rails — Bulk decoupling and smoothing for 12 V and sub‑rail power supplies where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high temperature endurance matter.
• DC‑DC Converter Output Filtering — Low impedance and specified ripple current ratings support output filtering and transient handling in power converters.
• Embedded and Harsh‑Environment Electronics — Long life at elevated temperature (2000 h at 105°C) and wide operating range (−55°C to +105°C) for electronics exposed to thermal stress.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Enables use in automotive applications that require industry‑recognized component qualification.
• Low Impedance Performance: 100 mΩ impedance and chip‑type construction reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response on power rails.
• Broad Thermal Capability: −55°C to +105°C operating range combined with 2000 h endurance at 105°C supports reliable operation in high‑temperature environments.
• Balanced Ripple Handling: Separate low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (425 mA at 120 Hz, 850 mA at 10 kHz) provide predictable performance across frequency ranges.
• Assembly‑Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping facilitates automated placement for high‑volume manufacturing.
• RoHS Compliance: Series documentation indicates conformity to RoHS directives for restricted substances.
