UUQ1C100MCL1GB

The UUQ1C100MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUQ series designed for audio equipment and automotive applications. It combines a compact SMD radial can package with a wide operating temperature range and AEC-Q200 qualification for use in demanding environments.

Engineered for automated assembly, this RoHS-compliant, carrier-tape-compatible capacitor delivers 10 µF at 16 V with specifications aimed at predictable performance across temperature and time.

Key Features

• Package & Mounting — Chip-type SMD radial can form factor (L: 5.4 × D: 4 mm) with recommended land size L: 4.3 × W: 4.3 mm; designed for carrier-tape feeding and automatic mounting machines.
• Electrical Characteristics — 10 µF capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance; polarized design suitable for typical electrolytic capacitor uses.
• Frequency & Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings of 18 mA at 120 Hz and 27 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for low- to mid-frequency decoupling and smoothing roles where specified.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated to operate from −40 °C to +105 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 105 °C as defined in the datasheet.
• Reliability & Leakage — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; leakage current after 1 minute at 20 °C is specified as not more than 0.03 CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater).
• Audio-Oriented Design — Part of the UUQ chip-type acoustic series, intended for audio equipment applications across a wide temperature range.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and −40 °C to +105 °C operation make this capacitor suitable for automotive modules that require qualified SMD electrolytics.
• Audio Equipment — Designed as part of the UUQ acoustic series for use in audio equipment needing stable capacitance and predictable endurance over temperature.
• Compact SMD Power Modules — Small L × D footprint and surface-mount compatibility support tight board layouts and automated assembly in consumer or industrial modules.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification — Meets the series qualification for automotive-grade reliability, supporting use in vehicle electronics where AEC-Q200 is required.
• Wide Operating Range — −40 °C to +105 °C rating provides usable performance across typical automotive and industrial temperature extremes.
• Automated Assembly Ready — Carrier-tape compatibility and SMD radial-can package simplify high-volume pick-and-place processes and reduce assembly handling.
• Datasheet-Defined Endurance — 1000 hours at 105 °C endurance gives designers a clear, tested performance envelope for life and reliability planning.
• Measured Ripple and Leakage Specs — Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz plus defined leakage-current limits support predictable circuit behavior when integrated to the datasheet conditions.
• RoHS Compliant — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) for environmentally constrained designs.
