The UUX1C221MNL1GS is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UUX series, designed for wide temperature operation and robust endurance. This 220 µF, 16 V polarized SMD capacitor delivers stable filtering and energy storage across a −55°C to 105°C operating range and is supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.

Engineered with automotive-grade AEC-Q200 ratings and a 2000 hour endurance at 105°C, the UUX1C221MNL1GS targets automotive and other demanding electronic applications requiring verified lifetime and temperature performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Specified for −55°C to 105°C operation with 2000 hours life at 105°C, enabling use in high-temperature environments.
• Automotive Qualification — Rated to AEC-Q200, suitable for designs that require passive component automotive grading.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 330 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 429 mA at 10 kHz for effective smoothing under varying load frequencies.
• Low Loss & Leakage — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current listed at 105.6 µA, supporting stable performance in power rails.
• Compact SMD Package — Chip-style can SMD (φ10 × 10L, radial can) suitable for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier taping.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — For power-rail smoothing and decoupling in automotive control and auxiliary modules that require AEC-Q200-rated components and a wide −55°C to 105°C temperature range.
• In-vehicle power systems — Bulk capacitance and ripple handling for 16 V systems where sustained endurance (2000 h at 105°C) is required.
• Industrial electronics — SMD aluminum electrolytic solution for industrial power and control circuits operating across wide temperatures and continuous duty cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-graded reliability — AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part with automotive design requirements for passive components.
• High-temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• Dual-frequency ripple capability — Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz (330 mA / 429 mA) supports performance across typical low- and high-frequency power conditions.
• Low-loss electrical behavior — tan δ of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz and modest leakage current (105.6 µA) help maintain stability and minimize dissipation on power rails.
• SMD-friendly packaging — Chip-style radial can in φ10×10L size with embossed carrier taping enables automated placement and compact board integration.
