UCM1E362MNS1MS

The UCM1E362MNS1MS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UCM series designed for high-capacitance bulk energy storage on compact PCBs. It delivers 3.6 mF at 25 V with robust ripple handling and extended endurance, targeting automotive and industrial power electronics where long life, vibration resistance and automated assembly are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 3.6 mF (3600 µF) nominal capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance, low-frequency ripple current 1.03 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.06 A (10 kHz).
• Loss and Leakage — Specified tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.18 at 20°C and 120 Hz and leakage current of 900 µA, supporting stable filtering and hold-up in power rails.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C, enabling sustained performance under elevated temperature stress.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and vibration-resistant construction for use in demanding vehicle and industrial environments.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Radial can SMD package sized φ18 × 16.5 mm, supplied on embossed carrier tape suitable for high-volume automated placement; surface-mount land dimension 1.83 × 1.83 cm.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant material set for regulatory alignment in commercial and automotive assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Bulk storage and smoothing for ECU and control module power supplies where AEC‑Q200 qualification and vibration resistance are required.
• DC‑DC converter output filtering — High capacitance and high-frequency ripple capability support low-impedance output stages and transient response.
• Infotainment and telematics modules — Energy reservoir and decoupling in systems that require extended endurance and automated assembly.
• Industrial power electronics — Bulk capacitance and long-life rating for control boards and auxiliary power subsystems operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance in an SMD can — 3.6 mF in a φ18 × 16.5 mm package reduces board area compared with equivalent discrete solutions.
• Designed for ripple-heavy environments — Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (1.03 A at 120 Hz, 2.06 A at 10 kHz) accommodate both mains-derived and switching‑converter stress.
• Long life at elevated temperature — 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime for thermal-stressed applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating and vibration-resistant construction support deployment in vehicle electronics and other harsh environments.
• Assembly-ready packaging — Embossed carrier tape compatible with automatic mounting machines enables efficient high-volume production and pick-and-place integration.
• Clear thermal and electrical limits — Specified tanδ, leakage current, and operating temperature range allow straightforward selection and verification in engineered power designs.
