UUG1C222MNQ6MS

The UUG1C222MNQ6MS from Nichicon is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UUG series, delivering 2.2 mF (2200 µF) nominal capacitance at 16 V in a compact surface-mount radial can package (φ12.5 × 21 mm). It combines high capacitance density with measured ripple-handling and endurance characteristics for designs that require bulk energy storage and smoothing in constrained board space.

Designed for automotive use and manufactured to AEC-Q200 standards, this part offers rated ripple current performance, controlled leakage, and a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C, making it suitable for demanding environmental profiles within its -40°C to 85°C operating range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 2200 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), providing substantial bulk capacitance for smoothing and hold-up.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V working voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and DC–DC converter outputs.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 1.15 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.323 A (10 kHz), supporting AC ripple dissipation across a broad frequency range.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1056 µA, reflecting the part’s self-discharge characteristic after application of rated voltage.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C; operational range from -40°C to 85°C to meet elevated temperature endurance needs.
• Package & Mounting — Chip-type radial can SMD (φ12.5×21 mm) for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated pick-and-place.
• Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated to support automotive electronics requirements.
• Polarized — Standard polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for correct polarity-aware circuit placement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suited for automotive modules that require bulk capacitance and AEC-Q200 qualification, where space-efficient SMD components are needed.
• Power Supply Filtering — Provides bulk energy storage and ripple attenuation on low-voltage power rails thanks to its 2200 µF value and rated ripple currents.
• DC–DC Converter Output — Used where high capacitance and frequency-range ripple handling (120 Hz through 10 kHz) improve regulator stability and transient response.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in an SMD Can: 2200 µF in a φ12.5×21 mm chip package enables significant bulk storage without a large through-hole component.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (1.15 A at 120 Hz; 1.323 A at 10 kHz) allow designers to size capacitors against known ripple loads.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Automotive-oriented qualification supports use in vehicle electronics and other applications requiring recognized component reliability standards.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 2000-hour rated life at 85°C provides a defined long-term thermal endurance metric for reliability planning.
• Pick-and-Place Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping facilitates automated assembly for volume production runs.
