UWD1C221MCL1GS

The UWD1C221MCL1GS is a surface-mount, chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon UWD series. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm can-style SMD package designed for board-level integration.

Engineered for applications that require low impedance, high ripple handling and elevated temperature operation, this part offers AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance and mass-production availability for demanding automotive and industrial designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing bulk energy storage in a small SMD footprint.
• Low Impedance Performance — Specified impedance of 340 mΩ and tan δ (DF) of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for stable AC performance and reduced ripple voltage.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 140 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 280 mA (10 kHz) to support switching regulator outputs and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Wide Temperature Range & Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting elevated-temperature use cases.
• Surface-Mount Package & Taping — Chip-type radial can SMD, size φ6.3 × 7.7 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Assembly Compatibility — Series-level recommended reflow capability up to 260°C peak, supporting modern reflow-based surface-mount assembly processes.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for applications requiring recognized component-level reliability.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Bulk filtering and smoothing on 12 V/24 V vehicle power systems where 16 V rating, 220 µF capacitance and AEC-Q200 qualification are required.
• DC–DC converter output filtering — Low impedance and high-frequency ripple current capability make this capacitor effective for switching regulator output stages.
• Power hold-up and smoothing — 220 µF capacitance combined with controlled leakage current supports short-term energy buffering and voltage stability.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance SMD — 220 µF in a φ6.3 × 7.7 mm package saves board space while delivering bulk capacitance.
• Proven reliability at elevated temperature — 2000 hours endurance at 105°C provides predictable performance in high-temperature environments.
• Measurable low-loss behavior — tan δ of 0.16 (120 Hz, 20°C) supports efficient AC performance in filtering applications.
• High ripple tolerance — Specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents address both line-frequency and switching-frequency stress.
• Production-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and chip-type SMD form factor streamline automated assembly and inventory handling.
• Industry qualification and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance support regulated and reliability-focused program requirements.
