UCZ1E162MNJ1MS

The UCZ1E162MNJ1MS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UCZ series, engineered for high-reliability, elevated-temperature use. Its chip-style can package, embossed carrier taping and surface-mount compatibility make it suitable for automated assembly in demanding electronics.

With a 1.6 mF capacitance at 25 V, low ESR characteristics and an extended temperature range, this part targets applications that require robust decoupling and energy storage in environments up to 125 °C, including automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1.6 mF (1600 µF) nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Rated Voltage — 25 V rating appropriate for mid‑voltage power rails and energy-storage decoupling.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −40 °C to 125 °C with an endurance rating of 3500 hours at 125 °C.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.18 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 25 V, supporting predictable loss behavior in AC conditions.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 47 mΩ at 20 °C / 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.4 A (10 kHz) for improved ripple handling and thermal performance.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 400 µA.
• Package & Mounting — φ16 × 16.5 mm can in a radial, SMD-style package; supplied on embossed carrier tape for automated pick-and-place.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated manufacturing environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Designed for automotive systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation to 125 °C are required.
• Power Conversion and Regulation — Supports mid-voltage rails with high ripple currents and low ESR for smoothing and decoupling in power modules.
• Surface-Mount Production — Embossed carrier taping and SMD can package enable automated assembly on high-volume boards.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 3500 hours at 125 °C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 47 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and heat generation under switching conditions.
• Strong ripple handling: Rated for 1.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.4 A (10 kHz), helping to maintain voltage stability in noisy power systems.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Supports designs targeting automotive-grade reliability and qualification workflows.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping simplifies automated pick-and-place and throughput for large production runs.
• Measurable loss characteristics: Specified tan δ at 20 °C / 120 Hz (0.18) aids in predictable thermal and AC-loss calculations.
