UCX1C471MCL1GS

The UCX1C471MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UCX series designed for high-reliability, surface-mount applications. It delivers 470 µF at 16 V with a low-temperature ESR specification and is intended for use where elevated operating temperature and long endurance are required.

Built for automated assembly, this SMD can provides 2000 hours of endurance at 135°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and embossed carrier taping for tape-and-reel pick-and-place workflows.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Low-Temperature ESR Specification — Specified ESR performance including an ESR of 150 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, with added ESR characterization after −40°C testing.
• High-Frequency and Low-Frequency Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 500 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) and 250 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency).
• Endurance and Temperature Range — Qualified for operation from −40°C to +135°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 135°C.
• Leakage and Dissipation Factor — Leakage current of 75.2 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.23 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Package and Mounting — Chip-type aluminum can SMD (φ10×10 mm), surface-mount, radial can style, supplied on embossed carrier tape for automated placement.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated market use.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for capacitive functions in automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature endurance.
• Power supply decoupling and smoothing — Use where 16 V rating and 470 µF capacitance are required for bulk filtering in compact SMD form factors.
• High‑temperature electronic assemblies — Applicable in designs that must tolerate continuous operation at elevated temperatures up to 135°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 135°C, supporting long-term operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Low-temperature ESR characterization: ESR specified after −40°C testing and an ESR of 150 mΩ at 100 kHz, enabling predictable performance across temperature extremes.
• Automated assembly ready: Embossed carrier taping and chip SMD form factor simplify high-volume pick-and-place processes.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Provides a documented level of reliability for applications targeting automotive qualification requirements.
• Compact can package: φ10×10 mm footprint with a 1.03×1.03 cm recommended land pattern for space-constrained PCB designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to help meet environmental and regulatory requirements.
