UCL1V471MNL1GS

The UCL1V471MNL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCL chip-type, low-impedance series. It delivers 470 µF of capacitance at a 35 V rating in a compact φ10 × 13.5 mm SMD can.

Designed for automotive applications and other demanding environments, the part combines high capacitance density, defined ripple-handling capability, and AEC-Q200 qualification to support robust power-supply decoupling and filtering where space and reliability matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 35 V with tolerance −20% to 20% for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Low impedance — Specified impedance of 60 mΩ to help minimize voltage drop under load.
• Loss angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable AC performance.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 595 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.19 A at 100 kHz to handle both mains-frequency and switching regulator stress.
• Leakage & tolerance — Leakage current 164.5 µA and capacitance tolerance −20% to 20% for predictable behavior in sensitive circuits.
• Robust thermal and lifetime specifications — Operating range −55°C to +105°C and endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Packaging & assembly — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 13.5 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• AEC-Q200 Rated — Qualification intended for automotive use, per the product specification.
• Production status — Mass production availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in automotive power rails where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• Power-supply filtering — Energy storage and ripple suppression for DC–DC converters and regulator outputs using its 35 V rating and high capacitance.
• High-frequency power stages — Supports switching regulators and MOSFET drivers with specified high-frequency ripple current capability (1.19 A at 100 kHz).

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 470 µF in a φ10 × 13.5 mm package reduces board area compared with larger through-hole parts.
• Defined ripple performance — Separate low-frequency and high-frequency ripple current ratings provide clear guidance for both mains-frequency and switching applications.
• Measured impedance and loss characteristics — 60 mΩ impedance and tanδ = 0.12 at 120 Hz support predictable AC behavior in power designs.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive design requirements for reliability and qualification.
• Wide temperature span with rated endurance — −55°C to +105°C operating range and 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provide a defined reliability envelope for long-life applications.
• Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping simplifies automated pick-and-place and helps accelerate production ramp.
