UUL1C101MCL1GS

The UUL1C101MCL1GS is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount radial can package from the Nichicon UUL series. It delivers 100 µF at 16 V with polarized construction and is designed for high‑density PCB assembly.

Targeted for automotive systems, the part combines long life (5,000 hours at +105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance to provide reliable bulk decoupling and filtering in temperature‑critical environments.

Key Features

• Rated Capacitance and Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Long Life and Temperature Range — Endurance rating of 5,000 hours at +105°C and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C, suitable for sustained elevated‑temperature use.
• AEC‑Q200 Qualified — Series qualification suitable for automotive electronics where AEC‑Q200 is required.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package — Radial can SMD package with dimensions L: 7.7 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for high‑density PCB layouts.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 81 mA at 120 Hz and 121.5 mA at 10 kHz for typical power‑filtering applications.
• Leakage Current — After 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current is specified as not more than 0.01 CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater), supporting low‑leakage designs.
• Low Loss Angle — tan δ ≤ 0.20 at 16 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), indicating controlled dissipation for stable AC performance.
• Soldering and Shelf Characteristics — Meets soldering heat tolerance and shelf life requirements from the series datasheet (resistance to soldering heat and long shelf stability testing included).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Bulk decoupling and filtering in temperature‑challenging automotive modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and long life at +105°C are required.
• Compact power supplies — Energy storage and smoothing on high‑density surface‑mount power rails requiring a small radial can footprint.
• Control and sensor modules — Local energy reservoir and ripple suppression in compact electronic control units and sensor interfaces operating across −40°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Long high‑temperature life — 5,000 hours at +105°C provides predictable lifetime performance for elevated‑temperature installations.
• Automotive‑grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 series qualification supports use in automotive system designs.
• Compact SMD radial can — Small L × D footprint and dedicated land pattern enable placement on high‑density PCBs without sacrificing capacitance.
• Measured AC performance — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz, plus defined tan δ limits, allow engineers to assess application‑level dissipation and stability.
• Low leakage behavior — Tight leakage current specification after rated‑voltage application supports low‑current and retention applications.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives for environmentally restricted substances.
