UUQ1C221MCL6GS

The UUQ1C221MCL6GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUQ series, designed for surface-mount assembly and carrier-tape feeding. It targets applications that require compact bulk capacitance in a wide ambient temperature range.

This part delivers 220 µF at 16 V with polarization, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q200 qualification. Key value propositions include a compact radial can SMD package, broad operating range from -40 °C to +105 °C, and endurance proven to 1,000 hours at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — Capacitance & voltage: 220 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Temperature range & reliability: Rated for operation from -40 °C to +105 °C; endurance tested to 1,000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current.
• Package & mounting: Chip-type radial can designed for surface-mount placement and carrier-tape automatic mounting; compact footprint approximately 1.0 × 1.0 cm with surface mount land recommendation of 1.03 × 1.03 cm.
• Ripple current capability: Specified ripple current of 310 mA at 120 Hz and 465 mA at 10 kHz, supporting applications with AC ripple demands.
• Low-temperature stability & loss: Tan δ for 16 V is specified (max. 0.22 at 120 Hz, 20 °C) and low-temperature impedance ratios are defined (Z(-25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) = 2; Z(-40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) = 4 for 16 V).
• Leakage current & loss control: Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03 CV or 4 µA (whichever is greater) after one minute at 20 °C; tan δ and leakage requirements are retained after endurance testing.
• Qualification & environmental compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Soldering and shelf robustness: Resistance to soldering heat demonstrated (250 °C hot plate, 30 s) with capacitance change within ±10%; shelf-life characteristics defined after 1,000 hours at 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment: Designed for chip-type use in audio equipment where wide temperature range and compact bulk capacitance are required.
• Automotive electronics: AEC-Q200 qualification and wide operating temperature make it suitable for automotive electronic modules that use surface-mount capacitors.
• Compact surface-mount assemblies: Useful in space-constrained SMD assemblies that need a radial can-type electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple and leakage performance.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operating temperature span: -40 °C to +105 °C rating supports designs exposed to broad thermal conditions.
• Industry qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides an added level of component reliability for demanding applications.
• Compact SMD form factor: Chip-type radial can in a 1.0 × 1.0 cm footprint enables automatic tape-fed surface-mount assembly and dense board layouts.
• Proven endurance: Endurance characterized at 1,000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and leakage current gives predictable long-term behavior.
• Defined ripple performance: Ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers size parts for AC ripple and filtering requirements.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies use in regulated BOMs and product lines.
