UCW0J101MCL1GS

The UCW0J101MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface‑mount assembly. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at 6.3 V in a compact SMD can package (φ6.3 × L7 mm) and is compatible with carrier‑tape automated placement.

Engineered for high‑temperature endurance and low impedance up to +105°C, this capacitor targets automotive and other demanding embedded power applications that require long life, stable ripple performance, and industry qualification.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance rated at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance for standard decoupling and smoothing duties.
• Low Impedance Performance — Low impedance behavior across the rated temperature range to +105°C, supporting stable filtering and decoupling at elevated temperatures.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for 7000 hours of load life at +105°C, providing predictable long‑term performance under sustained thermal stress.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified, suitable for designs that require recognized automotive component qualification.
• Surface‑Mount, Tape‑Feedable Package — Chip type SMD can package designed for automatic mounting with carrier tape; pad land recommended 6.6 × 6.6 mm to match the part footprint.
• Ripple Current Ratings — 70 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 140 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for AC stress handling in power rails and converters.
• Polarized — Polarized aluminum electrolytic chemistry; observe polarity in application.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Control Modules — Decoupling and smoothing on microcontroller and power rails in ECUs and sensor modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and extended temperature endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and output filtering for DC‑DC converters and linear regulators operating in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Infotainment and Telematics — Local energy storage and ripple suppression for audio, telematics, and communication modules in automotive environments.

Unique Advantages

• Long High‑Temperature Lifetime: 7000 hours at +105°C provides designers predictable ageing characteristics and extended service life under continuous thermal stress.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification: Supports use in designs that require automotive‑grade component qualification, simplifying part selection for automotive programs.
• Low Impedance to +105°C: Maintains filtering effectiveness at elevated temperatures, reducing voltage ripple and improving regulator stability.
• SMD, Tape‑Feedable Format: Enables automated placement for higher production throughput and consistent assembly yield.
• Compact Footprint: 6.3 mm diameter and 7 mm length provide a small form factor for space‑constrained board designs while delivering 100 µF capacitance.
• Frequency‑Rated Ripple Handling: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz supports performance across power conversion and switching environments.
