UUL0J221MCL1GS

The UUL0J221MCL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon designed for surface mounting on high‑density PC boards. It delivers 220 µF at 6.3 V in a compact SMD radial‑can package and is engineered for long life and reliable operation in demanding environments.

Key value propositions include AEC‑Q200 qualification for automotive applications, RoHS compliance, a wide operating temperature range from −40°C to +105°C, and a rated load life of 5000 hours at +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage in a compact package.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Load life specified at 5000 hours at +105°C; after this test the capacitance change is within ±30%, tan δ remains within defined limits, and leakage current stays at or below initial specified values.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Qualified to AEC‑Q200 for use in automotive electronics and other applications requiring component-level automotive reliability.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −40°C to +105°C operation to support temperature‑challenging environments.
• Surface‑Mount Chip Package — Radial can, SMD chip format sized L: 7.7 × D: 6.3 mm with recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for high‑density PCB layouts.
• Electrical Loss & Leakage — Maximum tan δ of 0.32 at 6.3 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current after 2 minutes at 20°C not more than 0.01 CV or 3 μA, whichever is greater.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 101 mA at 120 Hz and 151.5 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for smoothing and decoupling in low‑voltage power rails.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU and EU 2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and 5000‑hour life at +105°C make this capacitor suitable for automotive control modules and electronic systems requiring long‑term reliability.
• High‑Density Surface‑Mount PCBs — Chip‑type radial can SMD packaging and a compact 7.7 × 6.3 mm footprint support tight board real‑estate and automated assembly.
• Elevated‑Temperature Environments — Rated operation to +105°C and defined endurance characteristics allow use in applications exposed to sustained high temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Proven Long‑Term Endurance — 5000 hours at +105°C with controlled post‑test capacitance, tan δ and leakage performance helps ensure component longevity in sustained thermal stress.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 qualification provides documented suitability for automotive designs where component qualification matters.
• Compact SMD Form Factor — Small L × D dimensions and recommended 6.6 × 6.6 mm land pattern help reduce board area and simplify placement on dense PCBs.
• Low Leakage and Defined Loss — Measured leakage and tan δ limits at 20°C support predictable performance in power and filtering applications.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets current RoHS directives for environmentally restricted substances.
• Frequency‑Aware Ripple Ratings — Provided ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to evaluate performance across common power frequencies.
