UCM1V220MCL1GS

The UCM1V220MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can, part of Nichicon’s UCM series. It delivers 22 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating with a low-impedance design optimized for board-level power applications.

Designed for automated assembly and automotive use, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant SMD capacitor supports operation from -55°C to 105°C and is available in embossed carrier taping for pick-and-place production. It is in mass production and specified with lifecycle and ripple current values suitable for demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low-Impedance Performance — Characterized as a low-impedance chip type with an impedance specified at 1 Ω and a tanδ (loss tangent) maximum of 0.12 at 35 V (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 80 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 160 mA at 10 kHz for board-level power smoothing and filtering.
• Leakage & Endurance — Specified leakage current of 7.7 µA and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting high-temperature operation and long-term reliability.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for continuous operation from -55°C to 105°C.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — Compact φ4 × 5.8 mm can (L: 5.8 × D: 4 mm) in a radial can SMD package with embossed carrier taping and a surface-mount land recommendation of 4.3 × 4.3 mm.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated manufacturing and automotive electronics applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for board-level decoupling and power conditioning in automotive systems, backed by AEC-Q200 qualification and a -55°C to 105°C operating range.
• Automated surface-mount production — Supplied in embossed carrier tape for compatibility with automatic placement equipment and high-volume assembly processes.
• High-temperature power modules — Endurance rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and specified ripple currents make it suitable for power modules and assemblies exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Compact SMD can in a small footprint: φ4 × 5.8 mm package enables space-efficient board layouts while providing electrolytic capacitance.
• Measured low impedance: 1 Ω impedance rating and a defined tanδ (0.12 at 35 V) allow predictable performance in filter and decoupling networks.
• Defined ripple handling: Specified ripple currents (80 mA at 120 Hz, 160 mA at 10 kHz) help designers size the capacitor for expected AC stress.
• High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C gives a clear thermal life expectation for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in regulated automotive environments where that standard is required.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping simplifies pick-and-place integration for volume manufacturing.
