UCM1H162MNS1MS

The UCM1H162MNS1MS is a Nichicon UCM series chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for surface-mount assembly. It delivers 1.6 mF of capacitance at a 50 V rating with low impedance characteristics and elevated temperature capability.

Designed for demanding electronics, especially automotive applications, this part combines high capacitance, robust ripple-current handling and AEC‑Q200 qualification to support compact power-smoothing and energy-storage needs in board-level designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.6 mF (1600 µF) nominal capacitance at a 50 V rated voltage, suitable for higher-voltage board-level energy storage.
• Low loss / Low impedance — tan δ = 0.10 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, reducing dissipation in filtering and smoothing applications.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.275 A at 120 Hz and 2.55 A at 10 kHz for effective handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — 5000 hours life/ endurance at 105°C, supporting extended operation in hot environments.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for operation from −55°C to +105°C for a broad range of thermal conditions.
• Surface-mount, automated assembly ready — Chip-type SMD package (φ18 × 21.5 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping and compatible with automated placement.
• Reliability and compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance; vibration resistant construction for mechanical robustness.
• Polarized aluminum can SMD — Radial, can-style surface-mount package with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and specified leakage current of 800 µA.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and vibration resistance make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronics requiring durable board-level energy storage.
• Automotive power supplies — 50 V rating and 1600 µF capacitance provide bulk smoothing and decoupling for higher-voltage vehicle power rails.
• High-ripple filtering — High low- and high-frequency ripple-current ratings support filtering in power conditioning and converter output stages.
• Compact, automated assembly — Chip-type SMD package and embossed carrier taping enable space-efficient designs and high-volume automated placement.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 1600 µF in a φ18 × 21.5 mm chip package provides significant energy storage with a small board footprint.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in thermally challenging environments.
• Dual-band ripple capability — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz address both line-frequency and switching-frequency ripple demands.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating and vibration-resistant construction support use in automotive system designs requiring industry-recognized qualification.
• Assembly-friendly packaging — Embossed carrier taping and chip-type format simplify integration into automated surface-mount production flows.
• Measurable, predictable leakage and loss — Specified leakage current (800 µA) and tan δ (0.10 at 20°C, 120 Hz) enable predictable thermal and electrical budgeting in designs.
