UCZ1C101MCS1GS

The UCZ1C101MCS1GS is a Nichicon UCZ series aluminum electrolytic chip capacitor designed for high-reliability surface-mount applications. It is a polarized chip-type capacitor specified for extended operation across a wide temperature range and engineered for automated assembly.

Key value propositions include operation from -40°C to +125°C, AEC-Q200 qualification for high-reliability designs, low-temperature ESR characterization, and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for applications that require robust power filtering and thermal endurance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance at 16 V, tolerance ±20% (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature endurance — Rated for operation up to +125°C with a specified lifetime of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Low-temperature performance — Added ESR specification after -40°C testing and low-temperature impedance limits (impedance ratio figures provided in the series datasheet).
• ESR and ripple handling — Equivalent series resistance of 200 mΩ at 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 135 mA (120 Hz) and 270 mA (10 kHz).
• Surface-mount, automatic assembly compatible — Chip type packaged for carrier-tape feeding and placement in automated SMT lines; package case described as radial, can - SMD.
• Reliability & compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Physical footprint — Compact dimensions: approximately 1.0 × 0.8 cm with recommended land pattern size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and -40°C to +125°C operation are required.
• Power filtering and decoupling — Provides bulk capacitance and ESR characteristics for DC rail smoothing and transient suppression in compact SMD designs.
• High-temperature electronics — Designed for assemblies that must maintain capacitance and ESR performance at elevated ambient temperatures up to 125°C.
• Automated production environments — Carrier-tape compatible chip type simplifies placement in high-volume SMT lines.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature rated — 125°C operational rating with a specified 3000-hour lifetime at 125°C supports long-term deployment in hot environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification — The UCZ series qualification supports use in reliability-focused designs that require industry-recognized component screening.
• Characterized low-temperature behavior — ESR and impedance specifications after -40°C testing provide predictable performance across automotive temperature extremes.
• Measured ESR and ripple specs — 200 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz plus defined ripple current ratings enable confident selection for power-supply decoupling and filtering.
• SMT-ready package — Chip-type can suitable for carrier-tape feeding and automatic mounting reduces BOM complexity and speeds assembly.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) simplifies environmental regulatory alignment.
