UCZ1A221MCL1GS

The UCZ1A221MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability, surface-mount applications. It combines a 220 µF capacitance and a 10 V rated voltage with specifications geared toward operation across a wide temperature range.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part offers a high operating temperature rating up to +125°C, explicit low-temperature ESR specification, and packaging suitable for automated assembly—making it appropriate for automotive and other high-temperature electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, rated for 10 V operation.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C to support high-temperature applications.
• Low-Temperature ESR Specification — Includes ESR characterization after −40°C testing and an ESR value of 200 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 135 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 270 mA (10 kHz) for handling ripple in regulated circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 22 µA.
• Endurance — Life rating of 3000 hours at 125°C, with defined post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage.
• Package & Mounting — Chip-type radial can in an SMD package (φ8 × 10L); supplied in embossed carrier taping for automatic placement.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature capability up to +125°C are required.
• High-temperature board assemblies — Designed for surface-mount production and supplied on embossed carrier tape for automated pick-and-place.
• Compact SMD designs — Small footprint (φ8 × 10L) for space-constrained circuit boards requiring polarized aluminum electrolyte capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature reliability: Rated to +125°C with a 3000-hour endurance specification, supporting long-term performance in hot environments.
• Low-temperature ESR characterization: ESR specification includes testing after −40°C conditions, providing predictable performance across temperature extremes.
• Measured ripple capability: Defined ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies to help designers assess thermal and ripple handling.
• Automated assembly-ready: Embossed carrier taping and SMD can package support high-volume surface-mount manufacturing.
• Industry qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support use in regulated and environmentally constrained designs.
