ULV2E180MNL1GS

The ULV2E180MNL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s ULV series designed for high-voltage, long-life use. It is a polarized, surface-mount component (radial, can - SMD) rated 18 µF at 250 V with a category temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Engineered for automated assembly, RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified, this part targets demanding applications that require extended endurance—specified to withstand 10,000 hours at +105°C—while maintaining compact package dimensions suitable for modern PCB layouts.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 18 µF nominal capacitance at a 250 V rated voltage with a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Long Life Endurance — Load life specified at 10,000 hours when operated at +105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, dissipation factor and leakage after endurance testing.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified, offering qualification for automotive applications where that standard is required.
• Temperature Range — Operates across -40°C to +105°C, supporting high-temperature environments.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current per datasheet: for rated voltages 160 V to 450 V, I ≤ 0.04 C V + 100 µA (measured 1 minute at 20°C), providing a measurable bound for design leakage budgets.
• Dissipation Factor (tan δ) — Maximum tan δ for 250 V is 0.25 (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), useful when budgeting ESR/dissipation.
• Ripple Current Ratings — 55 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 88 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support filtering and decoupling duties across frequency bands.
• Surface-Mount, Automated Assembly Ready — Chip-type SMD package is applicable to automatic mounting machines using carrier tape; compact board land size provided for pick-and-place assembly.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & PCB Footprint — Case dimensions L: 1.35 cm × D: 1.00 cm; recommended surface-mount land size L: 1.03 cm × W: 1.03 cm.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and long-life rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules that require high-voltage, high-temperature endurance.
• High-temperature power subsystems — Rated for continuous operation up to +105°C with a 10,000-hour load-life specification for stable long-term performance in thermally demanding environments.
• Automated PCB assembly — Chip-type SMD format and carrier-tape compatibility streamline placement in high-volume, automated manufacturing lines.

Unique Advantages

• Extended operational life: 10,000-hour load-life at +105°C provides designers with a quantifiable endurance metric for long-term reliability planning.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive electronic modules where that standard is required.
• High-voltage capability: 250 V rating enables use in higher-voltage subsystems while retaining compact SMD packaging.
• Measurable leakage and dissipation limits: Clear leakage current formula and tan δ limits allow precise budgeting of leakage and loss for system-level design.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for hazardous-substance control in electronic assemblies.
• Assembly-friendly package: Chip-type SMD format with defined land-size supports efficient pick-and-place and reflow-compatible workflows.
