UCZ1V221MCL1GS

The UCZ1V221MCL1GS is a Nichicon UCZ series chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-temperature, surface-mount applications. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating, polarized design, and is specified for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C.

Engineered for reliability in demanding environments, this part carries AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance. It is compatible with automated placement using carrier tape and offers defined ESR and ripple current specifications for predictable performance in power systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• High Temperature Operation — Rated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation to support elevated-temperature assemblies and long-term endurance at 125 °C (3000 hours).
• Low-Temperature ESR Specification — ESR characterized at low temperature, including an added ESR spec after −40 °C testing, with 150 mΩ specified at 100 kHz for predictable impedance across frequency.
• Ripple Current Ratings — 250 mA at 120 Hz and 500 mA at 10 kHz to support AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Surface-Mount Can Package — Radial, can-style SMD chip package designed for automatic mounting machines fed by carrier tape to support high-volume PCB assembly.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable where industry reliability standards and environmental compliance are required.
• Leakage Current Spec — After 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, leakage current is ≤ 0.01CV (µA), supporting predictable standby current behavior.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and +125 °C rating make this capacitor suitable for electronic control modules and other automotive subsystems requiring high-temperature endurance.
• High-temperature electronic assemblies — Designed for boards and modules that operate or are stored at elevated temperatures up to +125 °C, providing stable capacitance and ESR under thermal stress.
• Automated surface-mount production — Radial can SMD package and compatibility with carrier-tape fed pick-and-place equipment streamline high-volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Specified 3000 hours at 125 °C supports long-term operation in hot environments and extends maintenance intervals.
• Characterized low-temperature performance: ESR measured after −40 °C testing helps ensure predictable impedance across wide temperature swings.
• Defined ripple handling: Explicit ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies give designers measurable limits for power-filtering designs.
• Automated assembly ready: Carrier-tape compatibility and SMD can package reduce assembly complexity and improve throughput for production lines.
• Industry qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance provide documented reliability and environmental conformance for regulated applications.

Why Choose UCZ1V221MCL1GS?

UCZ1V221MCL1GS targets designs that require a compact, surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor with verified performance across a wide temperature range and measurable ESR/ripple characteristics. Its combination of 220 µF capacitance, 35 V rating, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a 3000-hour endurance at 125 °C make it a practical choice for engineers specifying reliable power decoupling and energy storage in thermally demanding assemblies.

Because the part is carrier-tape compatible and specified for automated placement, it supports scalable manufacturing while delivering verifiable electrical behavior (leakage, ESR, ripple) that designers can use directly in system-level thermal and electrical design tradeoffs.
