UCX1C101MCL1GS

The UCX1C101MCL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface‑mount assembly and high‑temperature operation up to +135°C. It offers a 100 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact SMD can package and is intended for applications that require elevated temperature capability and automotive‑grade reliability.

Key value propositions include AEC‑Q200 qualification, an added ESR specification following low‑temperature (−40°C) testing, and compatibility with automated mounting via carrier tape—making it suitable for production environments and demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Core Type & Package Chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial, can SMD package suitable for automated placement from carrier tape.
• Electrical Rating 100 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low‑Temperature ESR Specification ESR defined after the −40°C test to ensure predictable behavior in cold starts and low‑temperature environments; specified ESR is 200 mΩ at 100 kHz.
• High‑Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −40°C to +135°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 135°C (with specified post‑test limits for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage).
• Ripple Handling Specified ripple current of 135 mA at 120 Hz and 270 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and decoupling across common frequency ranges.
• Manufacturing & Compliance Compatible with automatic mounting machines fed by carrier tape and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). AEC‑Q200 qualified for demanding reliability requirements.
• Board Footprint & Size Compact dimensions (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land pattern of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for surface‑mount integration.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive modules that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation at elevated temperatures, such as control and sensing circuits.
• High‑temperature power filtering — Use for bulk decoupling and smoothing in circuits exposed to sustained high ambient temperatures up to +135°C.
• Surface‑mount production — Designed for automated board assembly workflows using carrier tape feeding for efficient volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualified Provides a recognized benchmark for component reliability in high‑stress and automotive environments.
• Wide temperature range Operation from −40°C to +135°C enables deployment in applications with severe thermal requirements.
• Low‑temperature ESR validation ESR specified after −40°C testing gives predictable performance in cold conditions and supports robust system design.
• Long high‑temperature endurance 2000 hours at 135°C endurance rating supports long‑life applications in elevated ambient conditions.
• Compact SMD can Small physical footprint and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) simplify board layout while maintaining required capacitance.
• Production friendly Carrier tape compatibility enables high throughput surface‑mount assembly and reduces handling variability.
