UCW1C221MCL1GS

The UCW1C221MCL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface‑mount assembly and automated tape‑feed production. It delivers 220 µF at 16 V in a compact SMD can package and is optimized for applications that require low impedance and extended high‑temperature life.

Targeted at automotive and other high‑reliability markets, this capacitor combines AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a rated operating range up to +105°C to support designs exposed to elevated temperatures and long duty cycles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified low impedance up to +105°C (listed impedance 1 Ω) to maintain stable performance across the temperature range.
• High‑Temperature, Long Life — Rated for 7000 hours of load life at +105°C, providing extended reliability in elevated temperature environments.
• Ripple Current Capability — 115 mA at 120 Hz and 230 mA at 10 kHz for AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Package & Mounting — Chip‑type SMD (radial, can) package with a compact footprint (L: 8.7 × D: 6.3 mm) and surface mount land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm; applicable to automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for regulated production environments.
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction for high capacitance density in a small SMD form factor.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for use in automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high‑temperature endurance are required.
• Surface‑mount production — Compatible with automated tape‑feed assembly for high‑volume manufacturing of electronic modules.
• High‑temperature environments — Suited for modules and assemblies that operate or are stored at elevated temperatures up to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 7000 hours at +105°C supports longer service intervals and improved longevity in thermal stress environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Qualification that aligns with automotive reliability expectations for critical electronic subsystems.
• Low impedance to +105°C: Maintains lower impedance across the rated temperature range, helping stabilize power rails under thermal load.
• Automated assembly friendly: Carrier‑tape compatibility and SMD can package streamline PCB assembly and reduce handling steps.
• Clear ripple handling specs: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors against expected AC stress.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
