UWG1C101MCL1GS

The UWG1C101MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount use on high-density printed circuit boards. It delivers 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact SMD can (L: 6.2 × D: 8 mm) with polarized construction.

Engineered for demanding temperature and reliability requirements, this part operates from −55 °C to +105 °C, is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and is compatible with automated mounting using carrier tape. Typical value propositions include low impedance performance and long-term endurance under elevated temperature stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF at a rated voltage of 16 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in compact designs.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 400 mOhm supports effective ripple suppression and stable power delivery.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 115 mA at 120 Hz and 230 mA at 10 kHz for AC ripple handling across common switching frequencies.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C, enabling use across broad thermal environments.
• Reliability & Endurance — Designed for 1000 hours at 105 °C; endurance characteristics are specified for capacitance, tan δ, and leakage current after the rated stress.
• Packaging & Mounting — Chip-type radial can in an SMD package (L: 6.2 × D: 8 mm) with surface-mount land size L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm; compatible with automatic mounting machines fed by carrier tape.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863), supporting regulated and automotive-grade project requirements.
• Tolerance & Polarization — Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction for correct orientation in circuit designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in vehicle electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide temperature operation are required.
• DC–DC converters — Input/output filtering and energy storage on compact, high-density boards benefiting from low impedance and defined ripple current ratings.
• Industrial control electronics — Power filtering in controllers and sensors that must tolerate extended high-temperature endurance.
• High-density PCB assemblies — Surface-mount can format designed for automated placement on space-constrained boards.

Unique Advantages

• Wide thermal capability: −55 °C to +105 °C rating enables use across harsh and variable temperature environments.
• Automated assembly ready: Compatible with carrier-tape fed automatic mounting for efficient high-volume PCB assembly.
