UCQ1C470MCL1GB

The UCQ1C470MCL1GB is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UCQ series, offering 47 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ6.3 × 4.5 mm can. It is a chip-type, audio-oriented design that combines low loss (tanδ 0.22 @ 20°C, 120 Hz) with a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C.

Engineered for automated assembly (embossed carrier taping) and AEC-Q200 qualification, this part targets applications that require reliable, compact SMD electrolytic capacitance across a broad temperature range and in high-volume production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for standard decoupling and smoothing roles in compact designs.
• Low Loss for Audio — tanδ 0.22 maximum measured at 120 Hz and 20°C, supporting lower dissipation in audio signal and power circuits where loss characteristics matter.
• Ripple Handling — 40 mA low-frequency ripple current (120 Hz) and 60 mA high-frequency ripple current (10 kHz) for stable operation under ripple-loaded conditions.
• Low Leakage — Measured leakage current of 7.52 µA, helping maintain low standby currents in sensitive circuits.
• Wide Temperature & Endurance — Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation with 1000 hours endurance at 105°C (specified endurance for 4.5L variants), suitable for demanding thermal environments.
• Package & Assembly — Chip-type radial can SMD (φ6.3 × 4.5L) designed for surface-mount assembly; supplied on embossed carrier tape for automated pick-and-place.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning with automotive and regulated industry requirements.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Low loss (tanδ) characteristics make this capacitor appropriate for audio circuits and related signal-conditioning power rails.
• Automotive Electronic Modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range enable use in automotive electronic control and infotainment modules where SMD packaging is required.
• Automated SMD Assemblies — Embossed carrier taping and compact can size support high-volume surface-mount manufacturing for space-constrained boards.

Unique Advantages

• Compact SMD Can — φ6.3 × 4.5 mm package delivers 47 µF in a small footprint, enabling smaller board layouts and denser component placement.
• Designed for Audio Performance — Lower tanδ at 120 Hz reduces dissipation, providing better performance in audio and sensitive analog power applications.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and 1000-hour endurance at 105°C offer predictable behavior in harsh temperature environments.
• Production-Ready Packaging — Embossed carrier taping facilitates automated placement and supports mass production workflows.
• Balanced Ripple and Leakage Profile — Specified ripple current at both low and high frequencies plus low leakage current help maintain stability under real-world load conditions.
