UCZ1E162MNQ1MS

The UCZ1E162MNQ1MS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCZ series, engineered for reliable operation across a wide temperature range. It delivers 1600 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact φ16 × 16.5 mm SMD can suitable for automated assembly.

With AEC-Q200 qualification, low-temperature ESR specification, and endurance specified for +125°C operation, this part is intended for applications that require sustained performance and thermal resilience in challenging environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1600 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and tolerance of -20% to +20%, providing bulk energy storage in a single SMD component.
• High-temperature Endurance — Endurance rated 3500 hours at 125°C, enabling long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low-temperature and Frequency Performance — Low-temperature ESR specifications and a tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.18 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stable electrical behavior across conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Handles 1.2 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.4 A at high frequency, supporting applications with substantial AC ripple or switching currents.
• Low ESR — 47 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, reducing dissipation and improving efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 400 µA, useful for accurate margining in power designs.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ16 × 16.5L) supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated pick-and-place assembly.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated and automotive-grade product development.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and -40°C to +125°C operation make this capacitor suitable for ECUs and power modules that require reliable smoothing and energy buffering under automotive temperature extremes.
• Power supply filtering — 1600 µF at 25 V combined with 47 mΩ ESR and high ripple-current ratings supports bulk filtering and decoupling in DC–DC converter stages and power rails.
• Industrial and harsh-environment electronics — The extended temperature range and 3500-hour endurance at 125°C provide stability for equipment exposed to elevated operating temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature endurance: 3500 hours at 125°C gives designers a quantifiable reliability metric for thermal stress planning.
• High ripple-current handling: 1.2 A (120 Hz) and 2.4 A (high frequency) ratings reduce overheating risk in switch-mode and ripple-heavy circuits.
• Low ESR for efficient operation: 47 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers power loss and improves transient response in high-frequency applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 status supports use in automotive system designs that require component-level reliability credentials.
• SMD format with tape packaging: φ16 × 16.5 mm radial can in embossed carrier taping streamlines automated assembly and inventory handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for environmental conformance in regulated markets.
