UCW1C220MCL1GS

The UCW1C220MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCW series designed for surface-mount assembly. It delivers 22 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact 5 × 7 mm can-style SMD package and is supplied for automatic mounting with carrier tape.

Key value comes from a low-impedance temperature range up to +105°C, long-load life (7000 hours at +105°C), and AEC-Q200 qualification — making it suitable for temperature-stable, reliability-focused electronic designs where compliance and predictable endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Characteristics — 22 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C; polarized construction for conventional DC filtering and decoupling roles.
• Rated Voltage and Impedance — Rated for 16 V with a specified impedance of 2.2 Ω; tan δ (loss tangent) at 16 V is specified as 0.26 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature Performance & Lifetime — Operates from −25°C to +105°C with a low-impedance temperature range to +105°C and a rated load life of 7000 hours at +105°C (endurance: capacitance change within ±30% after test).
• Ripple Current — Specified ripple current ratings of 47.5 mA at 120 Hz and 95 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Package and Assembly — Small chip-type, radial can SMD package (φ5 × 7 mm physical footprint; dimensions L: 7 × D: 5 mm) with recommended land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm; suitable for automatic mounting with carrier tape.
• Reliability and Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); leakage current guaranteed to be ≤ 0.01CV or 3 μA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at 20°C.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Energy storage and smoothing in modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and long life at elevated temperature (+105°C, 7000 h) are required.
• Power supply decoupling — Bulk decoupling and ripple suppression in compact surface-mount power circuits that require a 16 V-rated polarized capacitor with specified ripple current capability.
• Temperature-challenged electronics — Designs operating up to +105°C that require low impedance through the full operating temperature range and predictable endurance characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Long, specified high-temperature life — 7000 hours at +105°C with documented endurance limits (capacitance ±30%, leakage and tan δ within specified limits) for predictable aging.
• Low-impedance performance to +105°C — Maintains lower impedance across the operating temperature range, supporting stable filtering and decoupling at elevated temperatures.
• Compact SMD chip format — φ5 × 7 mm can-style SMD package and a 5.3 × 5.3 mm recommended land pattern enable dense PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in designs targeting automotive requirements and supply-chain compliance.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant per 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 to meet environmental regulatory needs.
