UCL1C471MCL6GS

The UCL1C471MCL6GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCL series, designed as a chip-type, low-impedance solution. With a 470 µF capacitance at 16 V rating and a compact φ10 × 7.7 mm can-style SMD package, it targets applications that require robust filtering and bulk energy storage in compact assemblies.

Key attributes include AEC‑Q200 rating, a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, and a 2000-hour endurance at 105°C, making the part suitable for demanding environments where long-term stability and thermal endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing tasks.
• Low Impedance Construction — Chip-type, low-impedance design with specified impedance of 100 mΩ and tanδ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for improved AC performance.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified low-frequency ripple current of 425 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 850 mA at 10 kHz to support dynamic loads.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Leakage and Polarization — Polarized electrolytic design with a measured leakage current of 75.2 µA, appropriate for typical power-supply applications.
• Compact SMD Package & Taping — φ10 × 7.7 mm can-style SMD package (radial, can - SMD) supplied on embossed carrier taping for automated assembly and space-constrained PCB designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — AEC‑Q200 rating and high-temperature endurance make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic power filtering and smoothing.
• Power rail decoupling — High ripple current ratings and low impedance support decoupling and stabilization of DC‑DC converter outputs and power rails.
• Compact assemblies — φ10 × 7.7 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping enable use in space-constrained PCBs and automated production lines.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Enables use in designs that require AEC‑standard passive components for higher reliability expectations.
• High ripple handling: 425 mA at 120 Hz and 850 mA at 10 kHz deliver margin for dynamic load cycles and switching regulator applications.
• Low impedance and controlled dissipation: 100 mΩ impedance and tanδ 0.16 (16 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) contribute to lower voltage ripple and improved thermal behavior under AC stress.
• Thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C and an operating range of −55°C to +105°C provide predictable lifetime in elevated-temperature environments.
• Assembly-friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping supports automated pick-and-place and reflow-compatible surface-mount assembly processes.
