UCQ1C221MCL1GS

The UCQ1C221MCL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 10 mm can. It combines a low-loss characteristic (tanδ 0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz) with defined ripple-current capability for board-level power conditioning in compact assemblies.

Designed for demanding thermal environments, this capacitor is rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C, with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C. It is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, and supplied in embossed carrier taping for automatic placement.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 220 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and tanδ of 0.22 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC loss behavior.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 250 mA at 120 Hz and 375 mA at 10 kHz to support low- and high-frequency ripple handling in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — Low leakage current specified at 35.2 µA, aiding low-standby and low-noise designs.
• Reliability & Endurance — 2000 hours life/endurance at 105°C with capacitance change within ±30% and leakage and tanδ meeting endurance thresholds after test.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified, meeting requirements for applications that reference automotive component qualification.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 10L) supplied in embossed carrier taping, compatible with automatic placement machines.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for −55°C to 105°C operation to support designs across broad environmental ranges.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C make this capacitor suitable for electronic control units and in-vehicle subsystems that require qualified components.
• Audio Equipment — Low tanδ and stable performance over temperature make the UCQ1C221MCL1GS appropriate for audio-related circuits where low loss and stable filtering are important.
• High-volume SMD Assemblies — Embossed carrier taping and a compact φ8 × 10 mm package enable efficient automated placement in compact PCB layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Package — 220 µF in a φ8 × 10 mm SMD can reduces board area for bulk storage and decoupling solutions.
• Measurable Ripple Performance — Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow straightforward thermal and reliability planning for AC-stressed applications.
• Long-Term Thermal Endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C provides a documented life metric for designs expected to operate at elevated temperatures.
• Qualified for Automotive Use — AEC-Q200 qualification supports selection for designs that require automotive-grade components.
• Assembly-Friendly Packaging — Embossed carrier taping and SMD can format streamline automated placement on high-volume production lines.
