UCL1C681MNL1GS

The UCL1C681MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 680 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact surface-mount can-style package. It combines low impedance performance with high-temperature capability, making it suitable for demanding embedded and automotive electronics.

Designed for automated assembly, the part is carrier-tape compatible, RoHS compliant, and AEC‑Q200 qualified, supporting applications that require reliable performance up to +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage in a compact package.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 60 mΩ supports lower ripple and improved transient response compared with higher-impedance alternatives.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 595 mA at 120 Hz and 1.19 A at 10 kHz, suitable for demanding power-conditioning tasks in switching environments.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −55°C to +105°C with endurance specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive-grade designs.
• Surface-Mount Packaging & Assembly — Radial can SMD package sized at approximately 1 × 1 cm with a recommended land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm; compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC bus and bulk decoupling applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and +105°C operation make the capacitor suitable for automotive modules that require robust bulk capacitance on 16 V systems.
• Power rail stabilization — 680 µF at 16 V combined with low impedance and rated ripple currents supports smoothing and energy buffering on power rails in embedded systems.
• Automated surface-mount assemblies — Carrier-tape compatibility and SMD can packaging streamline pick-and-place processing for high-volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Provides an explicit automotive-grade reliability qualification for designs that require component-level assurance.
• High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 680 µF delivered in an approximately 1 × 1 cm footprint reduces board area compared with larger radial-through-hole alternatives.
• Low impedance (60 mΩ): Helps minimize voltage ripple and improves transient response for power-supply circuits.
• Dual-frequency ripple rating: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz (595 mA / 1.19 A) give clear performance expectations across switching and low-frequency regimes.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for −55°C to +105°C and 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Assembly-ready: Carrier-tape feed compatibility simplifies automated placement and reduces assembly cycle time.
