UUX1C101MCL6GS

The UUX1C101MCL6GS is a surface-mount, chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UUX series. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact can-style SMD package designed for automated assembly (embossed carrier taping).

Engineered for applications that demand wide operating temperature and endurance, the device combines a wide temperature range and AEC-Q200 rating with defined ripple current and leakage specifications to support reliable power smoothing and decoupling in challenging environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Wide temperature range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for applications requiring extended thermal range.
• AEC-Q200 qualified — Meets AEC-Q200 rating as specified in the product data, indicating suitability for automotive-grade designs.
• Endurance — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C with the rated voltage applied; capacitance change remains within ±20% after the endurance test (series specification).
• Loss and dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.16 (measurement: 20°C, 120 Hz) for the 16 V rating.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 111 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 144.3 mA at 10 kHz, supporting power rail smoothing and decoupling workloads.
• Leakage current — Typical leakage current listed as 48 µA after application of rated voltage (measurement condition: 20°C).
• Package & assembly — φ6.3 × 7.7 mm (D × L) can-style SMD (radial) package with surface-mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm and supplied in embossed carrier taping for pick-and-place processing.
• Polarized — Designed as a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for DC applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and −55°C to +105°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for automotive control modules and electronic subsystems that require reliable power filtering under thermal stress.
• Power supply filtering — 100 µF capacitance combined with defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings supports smoothing and decoupling on 16 V rails and DC-DC converter outputs.
• Compact embedded modules — Small φ6.3 × 7.7 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping enable automated assembly in space-constrained embedded and industrial control designs.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating provides a qualification baseline for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Wide temperature and proven endurance — −55°C to +105°C range and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C provide predictable long-term behavior in thermally challenging environments.
• Defined performance metrics — Clear specifications for tan δ, leakage current, and ripple current allow engineers to size and validate designs with measurable parameters.
• Assembly-ready SMD package — Can-style SMD with embossed carrier taping and a compact land pattern simplifies PCB layout and supports high-volume pick-and-place production.
• Compact energy density — 100 µF in a φ6.3 × 7.7 mm footprint helps minimize board area while providing bulk capacitance for local decoupling and smoothing.
