• Low Impedance Rated impedance of 80 mΩ to support low-loss power applications and improved transient response.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) tanδ (DF) = 0.14 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, indicating controlled dissipation in the specified condition.
• High Ripple Current Capability Handles 425 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 850 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current Specified leakage current of 55 µA.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance Operates across −55°C to 105°C with endurance rated at 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package and Mounting φ8 × 10 mm radial can in SMD format with embossed carrier taping and recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for surface-mount assembly.
• Qualification AEC-Q200 rated for applications that require automotive-industry qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics AEC-Q200 rating and wide temperature range make the UCL1E221MNL1GS suitable for automotive electronic modules that require robust SMD capacitance.
• Power Management / Filtering High ripple-current capability (425 mA @120 Hz, 850 mA @10 kHz) and low impedance (80 mΩ) support power-rail smoothing and decoupling in compact designs.
• Compact Surface-Mount Assemblies The φ8 × 10 mm can and embossed-carrier taping enable automated placement in densely populated SMD boards where board space is constrained.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides design confidence for automotive-grade projects through industry-standard electrical and environmental qualification.
• Low Impedance Performance: 80 mΩ impedance helps minimize voltage drop and improve transient response on power rails.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents of 425 mA (120 Hz) and 850 mA (10 kHz) allow the capacitor to support both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature and Proven Endurance: −55°C to 105°C range with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• SMD Can Package with Embossed Taping: φ8 × 10 mm form factor and embossed carrier taping facilitate automated assembly while minimizing board area.
• Controlled Dissipation: tanδ of 0.14 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides a measured indicator of loss performance under standard test conditions.
