UUQ1A221MCL6GS

The UUQ1A221MCL6GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UUQ series, engineered for compact surface-mount applications. It combines a 220 µF capacitance and 10 V rated voltage in a radial can SMD package designed for automated assembly and high-density PCBs.

Built for wide temperature operation and long-term endurance, this part is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for automotive electronics and professional audio or power decoupling applications that require reliable performance from -40°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 220 µF nominal capacitance at 10 V rated voltage with tolerance ±20% (specified at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C, enabling use across varied environmental conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105°C with capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ within specified limits, and leakage current at or below initial specified values after test.
• Package & Mounting: Chip-type radial can SMD suitable for surface-mount assembly; compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape. Physical footprint: approximately L: 1 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Ripple Current Performance: Rated ripple current of 210 mA at 120 Hz and 315 mA at 10 kHz to support smoothing and decoupling tasks in power rails.
• Dielectric Loss (tan δ): Series-level tan δ specification includes a maximum of 0.26 at 10 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), supporting predictable AC behavior.
• Polarized with Controlled Leakage: Polarized capacitor with series leakage-current specification: after 1 minute at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current not more than 0.03 CV or 4 µA, whichever is greater.
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Engine control units, infotainment modules and other in-vehicle electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• Audio Equipment: Power supply smoothing and coupling applications in audio circuits, leveraging the UUQ series’ chip-type acoustic design intent.
• Power Supply Decoupling: Bulk and local decoupling for DC/DC converters and regulator outputs, utilizing rated ripple current and capacitance.
• Compact Embedded Modules: High-density boards and modules that benefit from a small chip SMD can, carrier-tape compatibility, and automated pick-and-place assembly.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Provides the traceable automotive-grade qualification needed for designs targeting vehicle electronics.
• Wide Operating Temperature: -40°C to +105°C rating supports use across demanding thermal environments and broadened deployment scenarios.
• Proven Endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C endurance characterization with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current helps predict long-term behavior.
• Assembly-Friendly Package: Chip-type SMD can designed for carrier-tape feeding simplifies automated production and reduces handling steps.
• Measurable AC Performance: Specified tan δ and ripple-current ratings allow engineers to size the part against AC stress and smoothing requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and automotive products.
