UCZ2A220MCL6GS

The UCZ2A220MCL6GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UCZ series designed for high-reliability, high-temperature surface-mount applications. It combines a 22 µF capacitance with a 100 V rating and is specified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C.

Targeted at applications demanding robust temperature performance and automated assembly compatibility, this part delivers low-temperature ESR behavior, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance for regulated environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF rated capacitance with a 100 V working voltage provides energy storage for medium‑voltage circuits.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for −40 °C to +125 °C operation to support elevated-temperature systems.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Designed to meet AEC‑Q200 reliability requirements for applications that require that qualification.
• Low-temperature ESR performance — ESR specified after a −40 °C test; measured ESR is 750 mΩ at 100 kHz to support stable performance at low ambient temperatures.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C for sustained high-temperature operation.
• Ripple current ratings — 35 mA at 120 Hz and 70 mA at 10 kHz for AC and high-frequency ripple handling in power applications.
• Surface-mount, tape-fed compatible — Chip-type SMD package designed for automatic mounting with carrier tape; recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.
• Mechanical footprint — Compact dimensions: 1.0 cm × 0.8 cm (L × D) for space‑constrained PCB layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and −40 °C to +125 °C rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules that require reliable high‑temperature operation.
• High-temperature electronics — Use in systems and assemblies that operate continuously at elevated temperatures where long endurance at 125 °C is required.
• Automated SMT production — Carrier‑tape compatibility and a compact SMD package streamline pick‑and‑place assembly for high-volume manufacturing.

Unique Advantages

• Qualified reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualification plus a −40 °C to +125 °C operating window supports demanding, reliability‑focused designs.
• Low-temperature ESR specification — ESR characterized after −40 °C testing and a specified 750 mΩ at 100 kHz help maintain predictable performance across temperature extremes.
• High-temperature endurance — 3000 hours rated life at 125 °C provides long-term stability for sustained high-temperature use cases.
• SMT-ready package — Carrier‑tape compatibility and a small 1.0 × 0.8 cm footprint simplify layout and assembly in compact boards.
• Measurable ripple handling — Specified ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable designers to size the part to expected operating ripple conditions.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliance supports use in regulated product lines and simplifies environmental qualification.
