UCQ1A220MCL1GB

The UCQ1A220MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UCQ series, optimized for audio applications and designed for surface-mount assembly. It combines a compact SMD radial can package with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance for reliable operation across a wide temperature range.

This part provides 22 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating, polarized construction, and electrical characteristics tuned for low-voltage audio and general-purpose decoupling in automotive and industrial electronics where wide temperature performance and automated pick-and-place compatibility are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF rated capacitance at 10 V for low-voltage decoupling and audio circuit requirements; capacitance tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Audio-focused chip type — Part of Nichicon’s Chip Type acoustic series and specified “For Audio Use,” suitable for audio circuitry within the rated limits.
• Wide temperature range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to support designs exposed to extended temperature extremes.
• Reliability & lifetime — AEC-Q200 Qualified with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C for long-term stability in demanding environments.
• Surface-mount radial can — Compact package dimensions (L: 4.5 × D: 5 mm) in an SMD radial-can format with a recommended land pattern L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm for PCB layout.
• Automated assembly ready — Designed for carrier-tape feeding and compatibility with automatic mounting machines to support high-volume production.
• Ripple current — Rated ripple currents: 30 mA at 120 Hz and 45 mA at 10 kHz, useful for evaluating AC stress in audio and filtering circuits.
• Regulatory compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive audio systems — Local decoupling and coupling in in-vehicle audio modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• On-board power filtering — Low-voltage decoupling and ripple smoothing in automotive and industrial control modules.
• Surface-mount audio equipment — Compact SMD installation for audio front-ends and amplifier stages in consumer or automotive devices.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification — Provides an established reliability baseline for use in automotive-grade electronics.
• Compact SMD radial-can package — Small footprint (4.5 × 5 mm) and defined land pattern simplify PCB integration in space-constrained designs.
• Wide operating temperature — −55°C to +105°C rating supports applications exposed to harsh thermal environments.
• Designed for automated production — Carrier-tape compatibility reduces handling time and supports high-throughput pick-and-place assembly.
• Audio-oriented performance — Part of an acoustic-focused series and specified for audio use, aligning electrical characteristics with audio circuit needs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and automotive products.
