ULH2C180MNL1GS

The ULH2C180MNL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's ULH series engineered for high‑voltage, high‑reliability surface‑mount applications. It combines a 160 V rated voltage with a compact 1.0 × 1.0 cm SMD can package and is designed for automated carrier‑tape assembly.

Built to support demanding thermal and operational conditions, this capacitor is AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and specified for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C with a rated load life of 4000 hours at +125 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 18 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance; polarized design suitable for DC applications requiring high‑voltage capacitance.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current specified as 60 mA at 120 Hz and 90 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients are provided in the series data for scaling ripple limits across frequencies.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life of 4000 hours at +125 °C with endurance criteria of capacitance within ±30% and leakage current meeting initial specified limits after test conditions.
• Leakage Current Specification — Series leakage current defined as not more than 0.04CV + 100 (µA) after one minute’s application of rated voltage at 20 °C.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −40 °C to +125 °C, with low‑temperature impedance characteristics specified for −40 °C relative to +20 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Chip‑type SMD can (radial, can‑SMD) in a compact 1.0 × 1.0 cm package; surface‑mount land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm and compatible with automatic mounting using carrier tape.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring component reliability and RoHS (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and operation to +125 °C make this capacitor suited to automotive electronic modules that require high‑voltage, reliable SMD components.
• High‑Voltage SMD Power Circuits — 160 V rating and compact 1.0 × 1.0 cm package provide a space‑efficient option for high‑voltage board designs where reliable DC capacitance is required.
• Automated Assembly and High‑Density Boards — Designed for carrier‑tape automatic mounting and a small footprint to streamline high‑volume pick‑and‑place assembly and dense PCB layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High‑Voltage Capability: 160 V rated voltage enables use in higher DC bus and power rail applications where lower‑voltage capacitors are not suitable.
• Long‑Life High‑Temperature Endurance: 4000 hours at +125 °C rating demonstrates durability for sustained elevated‑temperature operation.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides independent verification of robustness for vehicle electronics.
• Compact SMD Form Factor: 1.0 × 1.0 cm chip can and standardized land pattern simplify board layout and support high‑density designs.
• Assembly‑Friendly: Compatibility with carrier‑tape automatic mounting reduces handling time and improves throughput in automated production environments.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for produced assemblies.
