UCZ2A100MCL1GS

The UCZ2A100MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCZ series designed for high-temperature, high-reliability surface-mount applications. It delivers 10 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating in a compact SMD can package engineered for automated, tape-fed placement.

Engineered for extended operation to +125°C with added ESR specification after low-temperature testing, this part addresses applications that require stable filtering and decoupling across a wide temperature range while meeting industry reliability criteria including AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Chip-Type Aluminum Electrolytic — Classic aluminum electrolytic construction in a surface-mount radial/can SMD package suitable for automated assembly fed with carrier tape.
• High Temperature Range — Rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C to support high-temperature environments and systems.
• Electrical Ratings — 10 µF capacitance at 100 V with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low-Temperature ESR Specification — ESR characterized down to -40°C; specified ESR is 750 mΩ at 100 kHz.
• Endurance and Lifetime — Designed for long-term use with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 35 mA at 120 Hz and 70 mA at 10 kHz to support AC and switching environments.
• Leakage Current — After 2 minutes’ application of rated voltage at 20°C, leakage current ≤ 0.01CV (µA) per datasheet specification.
• Mounting and Footprint — Surface-mount form factor with recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm and compact dimensions (L: 1.0 × D: 0.8 cm), suitable for automated placement.
• Regulatory and Quality — AEC-Q200 Qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulated manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suited for automotive modules that require components qualified to AEC-Q200 and capable of operating to +125°C.
• High-Temperature Power Assemblies — Use in power-supply filtering and energy-storage functions where sustained high-temperature endurance (3000 h at 125°C) is required.
• Surface-Mount, High-Volume Production — Compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape for efficient PCB assembly and repeatable placement.

Unique Advantages

• High-Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low-Temperature ESR Qualification: ESR specified after -40°C testing ensures predictable impedance behavior across the full -40°C to +125°C range.
• Automated-Assembly Ready: Designed for tape-fed placement, reducing assembly complexity and improving throughput for SMT production lines.
• Compact SMD Can Package: Small footprint with defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) enables dense PCB layouts without sacrificing reliability.
• Industry Qualification and Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance simplify use in regulated applications and supply chains.
