UCQ1A471MCL1GS

The UCQ1A471MCL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding temperature and assembly environments. As a chip-type part in Nichicon’s UCQ series, it combines a compact radial can SMD package (φ8×10L) with specifications targeted at audio and automotive electronics.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance (470 µF), low leakage, and rated endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable for applications that require reliable power decoupling and smoothing across a wide temperature range and automated assembly processes.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Leakage — Specified leakage current of 47 µA for reduced standby loss and stable performance after voltage application.
• Ripple Current Handling — 250 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 375 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support both low- and high-frequency power ripple conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to support harsh thermal environments.
• Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C, providing predictable long-term performance under elevated-temperature stress.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ8×10L) designed for automatic mounting; embossed carrier taping packaging for reel-fed placement.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC-Q200 requirements and is specified for automotive applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Compliant with RoHS directives for environmental compliance.
• Board Land Size — Recommended surface-mount land: 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for PCB layout and placement planning.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power filtering and energy storage in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
• Audio Equipment — Designed as part of the UCQ audio-focused chip family; suitable for audio power rails and smoothing in consumer and professional audio circuits.
• High-volume SMD Production — Embossed carrier taping and surface-mount package support automated placement and reflow assembly for mass production workflows.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can: 470 µF in a φ8×10L package delivers bulk storage without a large board footprint.
• Temperature Resilience: −55°C to +105°C rating enables use across a wide range of environmental conditions common in automotive and industrial applications.
• Designed for Long-Term Reliability: 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for lifecycle planning.
• Distinct Ripple Performance: Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents (250 mA at 120 Hz and 375 mA at 10 kHz) helps ensure stable operation across switching and linear power stages.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports integration into automotive electrical systems requiring qualified components.
• Assembly-Friendly Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and standard land-size recommendations simplify placement and yield in automated SMT lines.
