UCZ1C221MCL1GS

The UCZ1C221MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature board-level applications. As a surface-mount can-style capacitor with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, it targets demanding environments that require stable capacitance, controlled ESR, and long endurance.

Key value propositions include operation across –40 °C to +125 °C, a 220 µF capacitance at 16 V, low-temperature ESR specification (including added ESR specification after a –40 °C test), and documented endurance up to 3000 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF capacitance rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Temperature Range — Specified operating range from –40 °C to +125 °C for high-temperature applications.
• Low-temperature ESR Specification — Includes added ESR specification following the –40 °C test to ensure performance in cold conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 135 mA at 120 Hz and 270 mA at 10 kHz support board-level filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Reliability & Endurance — Lifetime characterized at 3000 hours when subjected to 125 °C, supporting long-term high-temperature operation.
• Surface-mount, Tape-fed Compatibility — Chip-type SMD packaged for automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape; surface-mount land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• ESR Value — Equivalent series resistance of 200 mΩ measured at 100 kHz.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and a –40 °C to +125 °C rating make this capacitor suitable for board-level power and filtering functions in automotive modules.
• High-temperature power filtering — 3000-hour endurance at 125 °C and specified ripple current ratings support power supply decoupling and bulk filtering in elevated-temperature environments.
• Cold-start and low-temperature operation — Added ESR specification after –40 °C testing helps ensure predictable behavior in low-temperature startup and cold environments.
• Automated surface-mount assembly — Tape-fed chip packaging enables reliable placement by automatic mounting machines for high-volume production lines.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 125 °C, providing documented long-term stability for elevated-temperature designs.
• Low-temperature ESR characterization — Includes ESR specification after –40 °C testing, reducing risk of unexpected impedance shifts in cold conditions.
• Designed for automated PCB assembly — Chip SMD format and carrier-tape compatibility streamline pick-and-place integration.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in designs requiring automotive-grade components.
• Compact SMD footprint — Can-style surface-mount package with a defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) for straightforward layout integration.
• Measured ESR and ripple specs — 200 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz aid in accurate thermal and performance budgeting.
