Overview of UWF1C150MCL1GB – 15 µF, 16 V Chip-Type Low-Impedance Aluminum Electrolytic (AEC-Q200)
The UWF1C150MCL1GB is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface mounting on high-density printed circuit boards. With a rated capacitance of 15 µF at 16 V and an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +105 °C, it targets applications that require compact SMD electrolytic capacitance with AEC-Q200 reliability.
Engineered for automated assembly, RoHS compliance, and automotive-capable qualification, this part provides a combination of compact footprint, defined ripple handling, and a 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V, with ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and energy storage targets.
- Low Impedance — Specified low impedance with an example impedance of 2.6 Ω to support reduced ripple and improved transient performance in compact designs.
- Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from -55 °C to +105 °C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 105 °C, providing defined performance under elevated temperature stress.
- Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 compliant, suitable for designs that require recognized automotive component qualification.
- Surface-Mount, Tape-Fed Packaging — Chip-type radial can SMD package designed for carrier-tape feeding and automatic placement on high-density PCBs.
- RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental regulatory requirements.
- Ripple Current Ratings — Specified ripple currents of 40 mA at 120 Hz and 80 mA at 10 kHz to support varying frequency power environments.
- Compact Footprint — Case dimensions L: 5.4 × D: 5.0 mm with a recommended land size of 5.3 × 5.3 mm for dense PCB layouts.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance are required.
- High-Density PCB Assemblies — Designed for surface mounting on space-constrained, high-density boards using automatic tape-fed pick-and-place equipment.
- Power Filtering on Compact Boards — Low-impedance chip form factor and specified ripple ratings make it appropriate for local decoupling and filtering in compact power circuits.
- Industrial Control Modules — Temperature range and endurance ratings support applications that experience wide temperature swings and require stable SMD electrolytic capacitance.
