UUQ0J221MCL6GS

The UUQ0J221MCL6GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UUQ series, optimized for surface-mount assembly and acoustic/audio equipment applications. It delivers 220 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V in a compact radial can SMD package designed for carrier-tape automated placement.

Engineered for reliability across a wide operating range, this component is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified. Key attributes include −40 °C to +105 °C temperature capability, a 1000-hour endurance rating at 105 °C, and defined ripple current performance at both low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Core Electrical Performance — 220 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 6.3 V; polarized design for DC decoupling and smoothing.
• Ripple Current Handling — Specified ripple currents of 210 mA at 120 Hz and 315 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and local power stabilization.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +105 °C, enabling use in environments with broad thermal variation.
• Endurance and Reliability — Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current after test.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Designed to meet automotive-grade reliability requirements where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type radial can SMD package compatible with carrier-tape automated mounting; compact footprint L: 1 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) for restricted substances.
• Acoustic Series Design — Part of the UUQ chip-type acoustic series intended for audio equipment applications where mechanical and acoustic characteristics are considered in the package design.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power smoothing and decoupling in automotive modules that require AEC-Q200-qualified components and operation across −40 °C to +105 °C.
• Audio Equipment — Local power filtering and supply decoupling in audio circuits where the UUQ acoustic series form factor is beneficial.
• SMD Power Modules — Compact board-level energy storage and ripple suppression in space-constrained surface-mount power designs.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in designs that demand automotive-level reliability.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40 °C to +105 °C rating maintains capacitance performance across a broad thermal envelope.
• Defined High-Temperature Endurance — 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C provides a measurable reliability baseline for long-term designs.
• Balanced Ripple Capability — Explicit ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help engineers size capacitors for both low- and high-frequency filtering.
• Surface-Mount Assembly Ready — Carrier-tape compatible chip-type can simplifies automated placement and board-level integration.
• RoHS Compliance — Meets EU restricted substances requirements for environmentally regulated designs.
