ULV2C220MNL1GS

The ULV2C220MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's ULV series designed for high-voltage, long-life surface-mount applications. It delivers 22 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact SMD can package and is constructed for automated PCB assembly using carrier tape.

Key value propositions include long operational life (10000 hours at +105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification for demanding applications, and RoHS compliance for regulated markets.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 22 µF capacitance rated at 160 V with ±20% tolerance, providing a stable energy storage element for high-voltage SMD designs.
• Long Life & High Temperature Endurance: Load life specified at 10000 hours at +105°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±30% and leakage current remaining at or below initial specified values after the test.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualified to support demanding environments and qualification expectations for vehicular electronics.
• Operating Range: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C, with low-temperature impedance stability (Z(−40°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 6 at the 160 V rating).
• Package & Mounting: Chip-type radial can in a surface-mount configuration suitable for automatic mounting machines using carrier tape; part dimensions nominally 1.00 × 1.00 cm with recommended land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm.
• Electrical Losses & Leakage: Maximum tan δ of 0.20 at 120 Hz (160 V rating) and leakage current spec of 0.04CV + 100 µA max (1 minute at 20°C) for the 160 V range.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple currents include 65 mA at 120 Hz and 104 mA at 10 kHz, enabling handling of AC components on DC rails within specified limits.
• Environmental Compliance: Compliant with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics: Suited for high-voltage, long-life surface-mount capacitor needs in automotive electronic control modules and power distribution units.
• High-voltage SMD assemblies: Compact chip can package and tape-compatible construction make this part appropriate for automated assembly of compact power supplies and converters.
• Embedded power rails: Used where a combination of elevated voltage rating, long-term stability at temperature, and SMD mounting are required.

Unique Advantages

• Long operational life: 10000 hours at +105°C provides predictable aging behavior for designs requiring extended in-service lifetime.
• Automotive qualification: AEC‑Q200 status supports inclusion in designs that demand recognized qualification procedures and documentation.
• High-voltage capability in a compact SMD form: 160 V rating in a 1.00 × 1.00 cm chip can saves board area while supporting elevated rail voltages.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Carrier-tape compatibility enables automated placement, reducing handling steps during manufacturing.
• Wide temperature tolerance: −40°C to +105°C operation and defined low-temperature impedance stability help maintain performance across harsh environments.
• Defined electrical performance: Specified tan δ, leakage current formula, and ripple current ratings enable reliable electrical budgeting in power designs.
