UUQ1A471MCL1GS

The UUQ1A471MCL1GS is a Nichicon UUQ series chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for audio equipment and other electronics requiring wide operating temperature. It is a polarized, surface-mount radial can capacitor with a rated capacitance of 470 µF at 10 V and ±20% tolerance.

Engineered for robust performance across a broad temperature range and compatible with automated assembly, this part targets automotive and industrial electronics where endurance, temperature stability, and automated PCB mounting are important.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for bulk decoupling and audio coupling applications.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −40°C to +105°C, supporting designs that must tolerate extended thermal environments.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified; endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105°C with capacitance change within ±20%, and leakage current meeting initial limits after endurance.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current ≤ 0.03 CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after 1 minute at 20°C; tan δ limits provided by rated voltage (10 V tan δ max. 0.26 at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings of 210 mA at 120 Hz and 315 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and smoothing in power paths and audio circuits.
• Surface-Mount, Carrier-Tape Compatible — Chip-type acoustic series packaged for automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape; package form is radial-can SMD with recommended land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Audio Equipment — Bulk filtering and power decoupling in audio circuits where the UUQ chip-type is specified for acoustic applications and stable performance across temperature.
• Automotive Electronics — Power supply smoothing and transient absorption in automotive modules; part is AEC-Q200 qualified for demanding vehicle environments.
• Industrial Control — Energy storage and ripple suppression in control and sensor interface power rails operating across −40°C to +105°C.
• Automated Assembly Lines — Designed for pick-and-place processes using carrier tape, simplifying high-volume manufacturing and board assembly.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact Chip — 470 µF in a 1.0 × 0.8 cm footprint provides significant bulk capacitance while minimizing board area.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −40°C to +105°C rating allows deployment across automotive and industrial temperature profiles without design compromises.
• Automated Assembly Ready — Carrier-tape compatibility and surface-mount radial can package streamline placement and reduce assembly time and handling costs.
• Engineered for Endurance — 1000 hours at 105°C endurance specification with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current supports long-term reliability planning.
• Measured Ripple Performance — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (120 Hz and 10 kHz) help designers size capacitors for real-world power and audio ripple conditions.
• Standards Compliance — RoHS compliance and AEC-Q200 qualification provide supply-chain and regulatory confidence for regulated and safety-conscious designs.
