UCL1C471MNL1GS

The UCL1C471MNL1GS is a Nichicon UCL series surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered as a chip-type, low-impedance capacitor. It delivers 470 µF at 16 V in a compact φ8 × 10 mm can-style SMD package optimized for power filtering and decoupling in demanding environments.

Designed with automotive-grade endurance and wide operating temperature capability, this capacitor targets applications that require high ripple handling, stable low-frequency and high-frequency performance, and reliable operation across −55°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Core Technology Chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic construction for high capacitance density in an SMD can package.
• Capacitance & Voltage 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 16 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage and rail smoothing.
• Low Loss / Impedance Specified impedance of 80 mΩ and tan δ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) to minimize AC loss and reduce ripple voltage.
• High Ripple Capability Low-frequency ripple current 425 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 850 mA (10 kHz) support both power-supply and switching applications.
• Temperature & Reliability Wide operating range of −55°C to 105°C and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable performance over long-term elevated-temperature operation.
• Package & Mounting Compact φ8 × 10 mm SMD can (radial, can - SMD) with embossed carrier taping for automated placement; recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Automotive-Grade Rating AEC-Q200 rating for use in automotive applications that require vetted component reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on 12 V and sub-rail power buses where a 16 V rated capacitor with automotive qualification is required.
• DC‑DC converter outputs — Output filtering for converters that demand high ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies.
• Electronic control units (ECUs) and modules — Local energy storage and transient suppression in control modules operating across −55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 470 µF in a φ8 × 10 mm package reduces board area compared with larger through-hole equivalents.
• Low impedance and controlled loss — 80 mΩ impedance and tan δ = 0.16 (16 V, 120 Hz) help lower ripple voltage and heating under AC stress.
• Broad ripple current support — Separate low-frequency (425 mA at 120 Hz) and high-frequency (850 mA at 10 kHz) ratings accommodate mixed-frequency power rails.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C specification enables predictable life and performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports adoption in vehicle electronics requiring qualified components.
• SMT-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping for reliable pick-and-place integration into automated assembly flows.
