UWF1C101MCL1GS

The UWF1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount, high-density PCB assemblies. It provides 100 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ8 × 6.2 mm can-style SMD package with embossed carrier taping for automated placement.

Engineered for demanding thermal and vibration environments, this part supports an operating range of −55 °C to +105 °C, 1000 hours endurance at 105 °C, and carries AEC-Q200 rating. Note: this part is End Of Life and is scheduled for discontinuation—verify availability and lifecycle requirements before specifying.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 100 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C for predictable bulk storage and decoupling performance.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for many low-voltage power rails and DC-DC output filtering.
• Low Impedance Design — Specified impedance of 800 mΩ and tan δ (loss factor) of 0.16 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) to minimize voltage drop and heat under AC load.
• Ripple Current Capability — 75 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 150 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for effective smoothing of both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
• Leakage & Endurance — Leakage current specified at 16 µA and endurance rated for 1000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage.
• Compact SMD Package — φ8 × 6.2 mm can, surface-mount radial configuration with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for dense board layouts and automated assembly.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, targeted for applications requiring established qualification standards.
• Packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier tape compatible with automatic mounting machines for streamlined production.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power-supply smoothing and decoupling in control modules and electronic subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• DC‑DC Converters and Power Management — Bulk capacitance and ripple attenuation on 12 V/5 V rails and intermediate power stages for compact converters.
• Infotainment and Telematics — Stable filtering across temperature extremes to support audio, communication, and telematics power boards.
• Industrial Control — Local energy storage and noise suppression in compact, high-density PCBs operating over −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Compact footprint with meaningful capacitance — 100 µF in a φ8 × 6.2 mm SMD can enables higher energy density in constrained board space.
• Low-impedance performance — 800 mΩ impedance and a controlled tan δ reduce losses and improve ripple handling in power circuits.
• Designed for automated assembly — Embossed carrier taping supports pick-and-place workflows, lowering assembly overhead.
• High-temperature endurance — Rated for 1000 hours at 105 °C, supporting designs that require sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Automotive-capable qualification — AEC-Q200 rating provides a documented reliability baseline for vehicle and similarly demanding systems.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant for global environmental requirements.
