UCZ1C101MCL1GS

The UCZ1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high-reliability applications. It combines a compact surface-mount can package with electrical performance optimized for wide temperature operation.

Designed for environments that demand stable capacitance and predictable ESR across temperature extremes, this part is targeted at automotive and other high-temperature electronic systems where AEC-Q200 qualification, long endurance, and surface-mount assembly compatibility are required.

Key Features

• Package and mounting — Chip-type, surface-mount radial can (SMD) designed for automatic mounting by carrier tape; recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm.
• Electrical rating — 100 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized capacitor suitable for DC rails.
• Temperature range and endurance — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C.
• Low-temperature ESR specification — ESR characterized after −40 °C testing; specified ESR of 200 mΩ at 100 kHz for predictable performance in cold conditions.
• Ripple current capability — Ripple current ratings of 135 mA at 120 Hz and 270 mA at 10 kHz support AC ripple suppression on low-voltage rails.
• Reliability and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated and reliability-focused designs.
• Soldering durability — Meets soldering-heat characteristic requirements after exposure to 250 °C for 30 seconds as specified in the datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — Suited for automotive modules and control electronics that require AEC-Q200 qualification and stable operation up to +125 °C.
• Power supply filtering — Used for bulk decoupling and ripple suppression on 16 V DC rails where 100 µF capacitance and specified ripple current are needed.
• High-temperature electronics — Appropriate for electronics exposed to elevated ambient temperatures that need long endurance (3000 h at 125 °C) and consistent ESR performance across temperature extremes.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification — Provides an automotive-grade reliability baseline for designs that require component-level qualification.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C supports long-term stability in hot environments.
• Low-temperature performance — ESR specified after −40 °C testing and a measured ESR of 200 mΩ at 100 kHz enable reliable cold-start and low-temperature behavior.
• SMD, tape-fed compatibility — Carrier-tape packaging and surface-mount form factor streamline automated assembly and reduce handling complexity.
• Compact footprint — Small can dimensions (L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm) and defined land pattern allow integration into space-constrained PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines.
