UCM1A221MCL1GS

The UCM1A221MCL1GS is a chip‑type, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount can (φ6.3 × 5.8 mm). It provides 220 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rating with AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for demanding applications.

Designed for automated assembly (embossed carrier taping) and elevated‑temperature operation, this part targets embedded and automotive electronics where space, temperature endurance, and reliable decoupling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance: 220 µF nominal with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated voltage: 10 V DC rating suitable for low‑voltage power rails and decoupling.
• Low loss / impedance characteristics: tanδ (DF) = 0.19 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (10 V); impedance specified at 260 mΩ.
• Ripple current capability: 150 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 300 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for smoothing and filtering duties across a range of switching frequencies.
• Leakage current: Specified leakage current of 22 µA after rated voltage application.
• Temperature & endurance: Operating range −55 °C to +105 °C with endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & mounting: Surface mount radial can (SMD) sized φ6.3 × 5.8L mm with recommended land 6.6 × 6.6 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape for pick‑and‑place.
• Automotive grade: AEC‑Q200 qualified for designs requiring the appropriate automotive component qualification.
• Regulatory: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Bulk decoupling and filtering on low‑voltage rails in modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualified components and elevated temperature endurance.
• Power supply filtering: Input/output smoothing and transient suppression on DC/DC converters and point‑of‑load regulators where compact SMD capacitors are needed.
• Embedded systems: Local decoupling and energy storage on compact PCBs in industrial and consumer embedded designs operating across −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high capacitance: 220 µF in a φ6.3 × 5.8 mm SMD can saves board area while providing substantial charge storage for low‑voltage rails.
• Low‑impedance behavior: 260 mΩ impedance and a defined tanδ deliver predictable AC loss characteristics for reliable filtering performance.
• Broad ripple performance: Rated ripple currents specified at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz accommodate diverse switching frequencies without guesswork in thermal budgeting.
• Automotive‑grade endurance: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 2000‑hour endurance at 105 °C support long‑life designs and qualification processes.
• Pick‑and‑place friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping enables automated assembly for volume production.
• Wide operating temperature: −55 °C to +105 °C supports applications across harsh thermal environments.
