UCM1C101MCL1GS

The UCM1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can, offering 100 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V. Designed for low impedance performance, it delivers targeted ripple-handling and decoupling capability in space-constrained assemblies.

Built for demanding environments, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and specified for operation from −55 °C to 105 °C with 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C. It is supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 360 mOhm and tanδ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for stable AC behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 120 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 240 mA (10 kHz) for both bulk and high-frequency decoupling tasks.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with life/endurance rated at 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Leakage & Polarization — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction with specified leakage current of 16 µA.
• Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can in surface-mount package (φ5 × 5.8 L; L: 5.8 × D: 5 mm) with embossed carrier taping and a recommended PCB land size of 5.3 × 5.3 mm.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating for suitability in automotive electronics applications; RoHS compliant material construction.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage automotive power rails where 100 µF at 16 V and low impedance are required.
• Electronic control units (ECUs) — Use in control modules that demand AEC-Q200 qualification and operation across −55 °C to 105 °C with documented endurance.
• High-frequency filtering — Local decoupling for switching converters and power stages leveraging 240 mA ripple capability at 10 kHz and low DF at 120 Hz.
• Automated surface-mount production — Suited to pick-and-place workflows thanks to chip form factor and embossed carrier taping for high-throughput assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Compact chip can form — Delivers 100 µF in a φ5 × 5.8 mm package footprint to save board area in dense designs.
• Verified low-impedance behavior — 360 mOhm impedance and tanδ 0.16 at 120 Hz enable effective bulk and decoupling performance.
• Broad temperature tolerance — Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C with 2000 hours endurance at 105 °C for reliable operation in harsh environments.
• Automotive-grade reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification supports integration into automotive electronic systems requiring component-level qualification.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping simplifies automated placement and reduces assembly handling time.
• Measurable ripple handling — Separate low- and high-frequency ripple ratings (120 mA @ 120 Hz; 240 mA @ 10 kHz) allow clear selection for mixed-frequency power designs.
