UCM1C221MCL1GS

The UCM1C221MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a temperature range of −55°C to 105°C, making it suitable for embedded and board-level designs that require reliable energy storage in a small footprint.

Designed for automated assembly, the part is supplied in embossed carrier taping and carries AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, aligning it with demanding applications that require controlled impedance, ripple handling and sustained performance at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage  220 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low‑impedance performance  260 mΩ impedance supports stable decoupling and transient response in low‑impedance circuits.
• Loss characteristics  tanδ (DF) 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a quantified dissipation factor for AC performance planning.
• Ripple current capability  150 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 300 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for handling both bulk and high-frequency ripple components.
• Leakage current  Specified leakage current of 35.2 µA (measured condition as provided), useful for precision power budgeting.
• High-temperature endurance  Life rating of 2000 hours at 105°C (endurance spec for φD ≤ 10), supporting sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact SMD can package  Case size φ6.3 × 5.8 mm with a recommended PCB land of 6.6 × 6.6 mm; radial can — SMD style enables dense board layouts.
• Assembly-friendly packaging  Supplied in embossed carrier taping for compatibility with automatic mounting machines.
• Quality & compliance  AEC‑Q200 rating and RoHS compliance as specified for applications requiring qualification and environmental conformity.
• Polarized device  Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC bulk and filtering applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics  Suitable for vehicle electronic modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and elevated-temperature endurance are required.
• Automated surface-mount production  Embossed carrier taping and chip-type package enable efficient placement on automated assembly lines.
• High-temperature systems  Components and subsystems that operate across −55°C to 105°C can use this capacitor for temperature-tolerant energy storage and decoupling.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy storage: 220 µF in a φ6.3 × 5.8 mm SMD can reduces board area for space-constrained designs.
• Quantified impedance and loss: 260 mΩ impedance and tanδ 0.16 (120 Hz, 20°C) allow predictable AC behavior during circuit design and simulation.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support both bulk smoothing and higher-frequency decoupling needs.
• Automated assembly ready: Embossed carrier taping simplifies feed to placement machines and helps maintain throughput in production.
• Qualified for demanding environments: AEC‑Q200 rating plus 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provide traceable qualification for higher-reliability applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures the part meets common environmental requirements for electronics assemblies.
