ULT2D120MNL1GS

The ULT2D120MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon designed for high-voltage, high-temperature applications. It combines a 12 μF capacitance with a 200 V rated voltage in a surface-mount can package suitable for automated carrier-tape assembly.

Engineered for demanding environments, this part offers extended life at elevated temperature and is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for automotive and other high-temperature electronics where long-term reliability is required.

Key Features

• Form factor / Package: Surface-mount chip can (radial, can - SMD) designed for automatic mounting using carrier tape; compact footprint (L: 1 × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Electrical ratings: 12 μF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and 200 V rated voltage; polarized device suitable for DC filtering and energy storage in high-voltage circuits.
• Temperature and endurance: Operating temperature range −40°C to +125°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at +125°C per Nichicon specifications.
• Reliability and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant to the 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 directives.
• Ripple handling: Specified ripple current of 45 mA at 120 Hz and 67.5 mA at 10 kHz for predictable performance under AC ripple conditions.
• Leakage and electrical stability: Leakage current conforms to Nichicon datasheet limits (e.g., 0.04CV + 100 μA max. at 160–450 V, 1 minute, 20°C) and endurance requirements for capacitance, tan δ and leakage after life testing.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suited for in-vehicle high-voltage circuits and modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation to +125°C are required.
• High-temperature power assemblies: Designed for applications that demand long life and stable capacitance at elevated temperatures (2000 hours at +125°C).
• Automated surface-mount production: Chip can SMD format and carrier-tape compatibility for high-volume, automated placement workflows.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets automotive part-level reliability testing requirements for use in qualified automotive systems.
• High-temperature endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at +125°C, delivering predictable performance in sustained high-temperature environments.
• Compact, assembly-friendly package: SMD chip can with carrier-tape compatibility and defined land pattern for efficient PCB layout and automated assembly.
• High-voltage capability: 200 V rating combined with 12 μF capacitance provides bulk energy storage and filtering in higher-voltage DC circuits.
• Measured ripple specifications: Ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies (45 mA @120 Hz, 67.5 mA @10 kHz) support design planning for ripple-related heating and lifetime.
• Standards compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with modern regulatory requirements.
