UUQ1C471MCL1GS

The UUQ1C471MCL1GS is a surface‑mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UUQ series, designed for wide temperature operation and automatic placement. It delivers 470 µF at a 16 V rating with SMD radial can construction and embossed carrier taping for reliable mass production handling.

Targeted use cases include automotive and audio equipment applications where AEC‑Q200 qualification, long endurance at elevated temperature, and measurable ripple performance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 16 V, providing bulk energy storage for 16 V rails.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.22 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz, supporting stable behavior in mid‑frequency applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — 210 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 315 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle AC ripple on power rails.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 225.6 µA, suitable for designs where defined stand‑by and bias currents matter.
• Endurance and Temperature Range — 1000 hours life at 105°C and an operating range of −40°C to +105°C for high‑temperature reliability.
• Package and Mounting — φ8 × 10 mm can (L: 10 mm × D: 8 mm) radial SMD package with embossed carrier taping and surface mount land size recommendation of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for automated placement.
• Automotive Grade — AEC‑Q200 qualified and specified for automotive applications as listed in the product data.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 12–16 V systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 105°C endurance are required.
• Audio Equipment — Chip‑type audio applications benefiting from wide temperature range operation and stable tanδ at 120 Hz.
• Power Supply Filtering — Local energy storage and ripple attenuation on mid‑voltage power rails using the part’s 470 µF capacitance and specified ripple currents.
• Industrial Control — Power rail stabilization in harsh environments that require −40°C to +105°C operation and long endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High bulk capacitance at 16 V: 470 µF provides significant energy storage for mid‑voltage rails, reducing the need for multiple smaller capacitors.
• Measurable ripple performance: Distinct low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (210 mA @120 Hz, 315 mA @10 kHz) enable designers to size for real operating conditions.
• Wide operating range and proven endurance: −40°C to +105°C rating with 1000 h endurance at 105°C supports long‑life applications in elevated temperatures.
• Automotive readiness: AEC‑Q200 qualification and automotive application listing streamline integration into vehicle electronic systems.
• Assembly friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping and SMD radial can format support automated placement and high‑volume manufacturing.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance facilitates use in regulated production environments.
