UCM1E220MCL1GS

The UCM1E220MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can. Designed for demanding temperature and reliability requirements, it provides 22 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 105°C.

Well suited for applications that require AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, this SMD capacitor combines a small φ4 × 5.8 mm package and embossed carrier taping for automated placement while delivering controlled leakage, ripple-current capability, and endurance at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Impedance Performance — Chip-type low impedance construction with an impedance specification of 1 Ω and a specified tan δ (DF) of 0.14 at 120 Hz, 20°C, supporting improved AC performance in filtering and decoupling.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 80 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 160 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under AC stress conditions within specified limits.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified for -55°C to 105°C operation with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting thermal stability in high-temperature environments.
• Leakage Current — Low leakage current specified at 5.5 µA, aiding in low-standby-loss designs.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for designs requiring recognized component-level reliability and environmental compliance.
• Compact SMD Package — φ4 × 5.8 mm can (radial, can - SMD) with surface-mount land recommendation of 4.3 × 4.3 mm and embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and an operating range of -55°C to 105°C make this capacitor suitable for automotive systems that require SMD aluminum electrolytic components with defined endurance at 105°C.
• Power supply filtering — Low impedance, defined ripple-current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz, and low leakage current support localized smoothing and decoupling in power rails.
• Compact consumer and industrial modules — The φ4 × 5.8 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping enable automated placement in space-constrained assemblies that need reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating offers documented reliability for designs that require recognized component-level qualification.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable lifetime behavior for elevated-temperature applications.
• Balance of size and performance: Small φ4 × 5.8 mm package delivers 22 µF capacitance while preserving board space for compact assemblies.
• Low leakage and controlled DF: 5.5 µA leakage and a specified tan δ value (0.14 at 25 V, 120 Hz, 20°C) aid predictable AC and DC behavior in circuit designs.
• Pick-and-place ready: Embossed carrier taping accommodates automated assembly processes for volume production.
