UUQ1E221MCL1GS

The UUQ1E221MCL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UUQ chip series, optimized for wide temperature operation and automated PCB assembly. With 220 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating and AEC-Q200 qualification, it targets demanding electronics where temperature endurance, ripple handling and compact SMD packaging are required.

This part is suited for automotive and audio-related power applications that require robust smoothing and decoupling across −40 °C to 105 °C, combined with embossed carrier taping for pick-and-place assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20% at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C, with endurance specified for 1000 hours at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Handling — Supports 300 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 450 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective filtering of both low- and high-frequency ripple.
• Loss and Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (for 25 V rating); leakage current specified at 165 µA for this part.
• Automated Assembly Friendly — Chip-type radial can SMD in a φ10 × 10 L package with embossed carrier taping for automatic placement.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated and automotive-related designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on 25 V rails in systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature endurance.
• Audio Equipment — Power supply filtering and energy storage in audio circuits where low loss (tan δ) and stable performance across temperature are important.
• Board-Level Power Filtering — General decoupling and ripple suppression for DC–DC converters, regulators and power distribution networks in compact SMD form factors.

Unique Advantages

• Compact SMD Can Package: φ10 × 10 mm chip-type can fits tight board layouts while remaining compatible with automated pick-and-place via embossed carrier taping.
• Designed for Wide Temperature Operation: −40 °C to 105 °C rating and 1000 h endurance at 105 °C provide predictable behavior in hot environments.
• High Ripple Capability: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (300 mA @120 Hz, 450 mA @10 kHz) reduce thermal stress and support robust power filtering.
• Low Loss Characteristics: tan δ of 0.16 (25 V, 20 °C, 120 Hz) supports efficient energy storage with controlled dissipation in audio and power applications.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant: Suitable for applications requiring automotive-level qualification and environmental compliance.
