UUQ1A221MCL1GS

The UUQ1A221MCL1GS is an aluminum electrolytic, chip-type capacitor from Nichicon’s UUQ series, engineered for audio-oriented applications and wide temperature operation. It combines surface-mount convenience with specifications targeted at robust, automated production and demanding environmental conditions.

Key value comes from its 220 µF capacitance at 10 V rating, AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and characteristics tuned for automated tape-fed placement, making it suitable for high-volume assemblies in audio and automotive electronics.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance: 220 µF capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C). Specified ripple currents of 102 mA at 120 Hz and 153 mA at 10 kHz provide defined AC handling for filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Temperature and Lifetime: Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 105°C, supporting stable performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Reliability & Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, offering traceable reliability credentials for regulated designs and automotive-grade projects.
• Package and Mounting: Chip-type aluminum can in an SMD radial package designed for surface-mount assembly and compatible with carrier-tape, automatic placement equipment to streamline production.
• Mechanical Dimensions: Compact footprint with dimensions L: 6.2 × D: 8 mm and recommended surface-mount land size of L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for PCB integration.

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment: Designed as part of the UUQ chip-type acoustic series for audio-related circuits where stable capacitance over a wide temperature range is required.
• Automotive Electronics: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive electronic modules that require components meeting automotive reliability standards.
• High-volume Surface-mount Production: Compatible with carrier-tape feeding for automatic mounting machines, simplifying automated assembly workflows.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides documented reliability for designs requiring automotive-grade component qualification.
• Wide Operating Range: −40°C to +105°C rating allows the capacitor to perform across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Defined Endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C endurance rating gives designers a measurable reliability baseline for life and stress planning.
• Surface-mount, Tape-fed Ready: Chip-type SMD design compatible with carrier-tape enables efficient automated placement and higher PCB assembly throughput.
• Clear Electrical Specs: 220 µF at 10 V with specified ripple current values (102 mA @ 120 Hz; 153 mA @ 10 kHz) supports predictable behavior in AC and filtering applications.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental regulation requirements for restricted substances.
