ULT2C220MNL1GS

The ULT2C220MNL1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high voltage and high temperature applications. It is a surface‑mount, radial can SMD package configured for automated assembly using carrier tape.

Engineered for demanding thermal environments, this 22 µF, 160 V polarized capacitor combines AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a 2000‑hour load life at +125°C to support robust, long‑term operation in industrial and automotive systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V, with tolerance ±20% (‑20% to +20%).
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for continuous operation from ‑40°C to +125°C and specified for 2000 hours at +125°C with rated voltage applied.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified, making it suitable for automotive electronics that require component-level automotive qualification.
• Automated Assembly Ready — Chip type packaged for carrier tape handling, compatible with automatic mounting machines for high‑volume surface‑mount production.
• Package & Mounting — Surface‑mount radial can (chip) construction with compact dimensions L: 1.0 × D: 1.0 cm and recommended PCB land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max 0.20 at 160 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C). Initial leakage current for 160 V is specified as 0.04CV + 100 µA max (1 minute at 20°C).
• Ripple Current Ratings — Ripple current handling of 60 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 90 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency).
• Solder & Shelf Robustness — Meets resistance to soldering heat (30 s at 250°C hot‑plate test) and shelf life recovery procedures per datasheet conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 2000‑hour endurance at +125°C make this capacitor suitable for temperature‑stressed automotive modules and control units.
• High‑Temperature Industrial Systems — Designed for power and control electronics that operate across ‑40°C to +125°C where sustained high‑temperature performance is required.
• Automated Surface‑Mount Production — Carrier‑tape compatible chip package supports high‑throughput assembly for compact SMD designs.

Unique Advantages

• Engineered for high thermal stress — 2000 hours load life at +125°C ensures predictable performance in elevated temperature deployments.
• Automotive‑grade reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the component with automotive quality expectations for critical electronic systems.
• Compact SMD chip format — Radial can SMD construction with small footprint helps reduce board area while enabling automated placement.
• Clear electrical specifications — Defined tan δ, leakage current formula for 160 V, and ripple current ratings allow straightforward thermal and electrical design margining.
• Production and process robustness — Proven resistance to soldering heat and defined shelf life recovery procedures reduce assembly risk and rework.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to current RoHS regulatory requirements for lead‑free designs.
