UCZ1E162MNS1MS

The UCZ1E162MNS1MS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCZ series designed for high-temperature operation up to +125°C. It delivers 1.6 mF capacitance at 25 V in a surface-mount, radial can package optimized for automatic placement from carrier tape.

Engineered for demanding environments, this polarized capacitor combines high ripple-handling capability, a defined low-temperature ESR specification, and AEC-Q200 qualification to support reliable performance in temperature-stressed and automotive applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.6 mF nominal capacitance rated at 25 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling tasks.
• High Temperature Range — Rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C to match high-temperature system requirements.
• Low-Temperature ESR Specified — ESR characterized as 47 mΩ at 100 kHz, with ESR specification added following a –40°C test to ensure stable performance across the specified temperature range.
• Ripple Current Capability — Supports 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 2.4 A at 10 kHz, enabling effective ripple filtering in high-frequency and power-regulation applications.
• Long High-Temperature Lifetime — Rated lifetime of 3500 hours at 125°C for durability in elevated-temperature designs.
• Surface-Mount, Placement-Ready Package — Radial, can-style SMD package sized 16.5 × 16.0 mm (L × D) with recommended land pattern 16.3 × 16.3 mm and carrier-tape compatibility for automated assembly.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting regulated and automotive-capable designs.
• Polarized Device — Intended for polarized capacitor applications; observe correct polarity in circuit placement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in control modules and power systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to +125°C.
• Power Supply Filtering — Smoothing and decoupling in DC-DC converters and power regulation circuits where high ripple current capacity and low ESR are needed.
• High-Temperature Electronics — Capacitance and reliability for electronics deployed in elevated-temperature environments, supported by a 3500-hour rating at 125°C.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operating temperature span — –40°C to +125°C rating minimizes design trade-offs for thermal environments, reducing the need for multiple capacitor families.
• Verified low-temperature ESR — ESR specified after a –40°C test and measured at 100 kHz (47 mΩ) provides predictable performance for low-temperature startup and high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (1.2 A and 2.4 A) support robust filtering in both low- and high-frequency domains.
• Automated assembly ready — Carrier-tape compatibility and an SMD radial-can package streamline pick-and-place integration for volume production.
• AEC-Q200 qualified — Qualification supports use in applications requiring established automotive-grade component screening and traceability.
• RoHS compliant — Meets current RoHS requirements for lead-free systems and regulatory compliance.
