UUE1C221MNS1GS

The UUE1C221MNS1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUE series, designed for surface‑mount assembly and engineered for vibration resistance. With a 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating, polarized construction and an extended operating temperature range, it is targeted at demanding electronics where elevated temperature and mechanical stress are present.

Its combination of AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance and a high operating temperature range makes it suitable for automotive electronics and other high‑reliability applications that require compact power smoothing and decoupling solutions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing stable bulk energy storage and filtering for low‑voltage power rails.
• High‑Temperature Performance — Rated for operation from −40°C to 125°C, enabling use in elevated temperature environments.
• Life Rating — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 125°C, supporting long duty cycles under high‑temperature stress.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 requirements as indicated for the product, supporting automotive design qualification needs.
• Vibration‑Resistant Chip Type — Chip form factor with vibration resistance for reliable surface‑mount deployment in mechanically stressed assemblies.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 127.3 mA at 120 Hz and 190 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for power smoothing across a range of switching frequencies.
• Compact SMD Can — Radial can packaged for surface mounting; nominal size L: 1 × D: 1 cm with recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for PCB layout.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per the provided product data.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Bulk filtering and decoupling for vehicle control modules and power systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation are required.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Energy storage and ripple suppression on low‑voltage power rails in compact, high‑temperature assemblies.
• Vibration‑Sensitive Modules — Use in power modules and assemblies exposed to mechanical vibration due to its chip‑type vibration resistance.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 designation supports integration into automotive and other high‑reliability systems.
• High temperature endurance: Operates up to 125°C and carries a specified lifetime at that temperature, reducing risk of premature degradation in hot environments.
• Compact SMD footprint: Small radial can form factor (1 × 1 cm) and defined PCB land pattern simplify space‑constrained board designs.
• Broad ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies accommodate smoothing needs across switching and line‑frequency applications.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electronics production.
