UWF1A101MCL1GS

The UWF1A101MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UWF series, designed for surface mounting on high-density PC boards. It delivers 100 µF at a 10 V rating with low impedance characteristics and a compact φ8 × 6.2 mm can-style SMD package.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this device offers a −55 °C to 105 °C operating range, AEC-Q200 qualification, and endurance rated to 1000 hours at 105 °C—making it suitable for automotive and other robust electronic applications where size, thermal tolerance, and ripple handling matter.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low Impedance Design — Chip‑type low impedance construction with an impedance value of 800 mΩ to support stable performance in decoupling and smoothing roles.
• Loss & Leakage — tanδ = 0.19 (max) measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 10 V; leakage current specified as 10 µA.
• Ripple Current Capability — Rated for 75 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) and 150 mA at high frequency (10 kHz), enabling effective ripple handling across a range of frequencies.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operates from −55 °C to 105 °C with endurance specified for 1000 hours at 105 °C.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 rated for use in automotive applications requiring established component qualifications.
• Surface-Mount Package & Assembly — Radial can SMD package (φ8 × 6.2 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping suitable for automated placement on high-density PCBs.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power rail smoothing and decoupling in control modules and in-vehicle systems where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide operating temperature are required.
• High-density PCB assemblies — Surface-mount chip-type can fits compact board layouts while providing 100 µF of capacitance for bulk or decoupling functions.
• Power management modules — Handles both low- and high-frequency ripple currents (75 mA at 120 Hz, 150 mA at 10 kHz) for local energy buffering on 10 V rails.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, board-friendly form factor — φ8 × 6.2 mm SMD can minimizes board footprint while delivering substantial capacitance.
• Automotive-capable qualification — AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in automotive system designs requiring certified components.
• Robust thermal endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 105 °C, providing predictable aging and performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Effective ripple management — Defined ripple current ratings at both low and high frequency help designers specify the part for filtering and decoupling on noisy rails.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping compatible with automated mounting processes for efficient assembly.
• Low leakage and controlled losses — Leakage current and tanδ specifications support stable operation in sensitive power circuits.
