UWJ1C101MCL1GB

The UWJ1C101MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package, offering 100 µF capacitance at 16 V. It is engineered for high-density PCB assemblies and is compatible with 260°C peak reflow soldering processes for automated placement.

Designed for demanding operating conditions, this part provides a -40°C to 85°C operating range, AEC-Q200 compliance, RoHS conformance, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 85°C—making it suitable for power filtering and decoupling in robust electronic designs.

Key Features

• Package & Mounting — Chip-type radial can for surface-mount assembly; embossed carrier taping supports automatic pick-and-place mounting on high-density boards. Size: 6.3 × 5.4 mm (diameter × length).
• Electrical Performance — 100 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance; leakage current specified at 16 µA and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple Handling — Rated ripple current: 86 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 129 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), suitable for smoothing and decoupling on power rails.
• Thermal & Soldering Robustness — Compatible with 260°C peak reflow profiles; designed to withstand recommended reflow conditions including 260°C peak for 5 seconds and 230°C over 60 seconds (twice).
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life of 2000 hours at 85°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tanδ up to 200% of initial value, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after life test.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, supporting designs that require recognized qualification and environmental compliance.
• PCB Land Pattern — Recommended surface-mount land size: 6.6 × 6.6 mm for reliable solder joints and placement.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — AEC-Q200 compliance, 2000-hour life at 85°C, and -40°C to 85°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for vehicle power filtering and decoupling tasks.
• DC–DC converters and power rails — 100 µF capacitance and rated ripple currents (86 mA @120 Hz, 129 mA @10 kHz) support bulk smoothing and transient suppression in regulator outputs.
• Industrial control electronics — Robust reflow compatibility and endurance characteristics provide reliability for control boards exposed to extended elevated temperatures.
• High-density surface-mount assemblies — Chip-type radial can and embossed carrier taping enable automated placement in compact PCB layouts.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature reflow compatibility: Rated for 260°C peak reflow, allowing integration into modern Pb-free assembly flows without additional process restrictions.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Qualification status supports use in applications with recognized automotive-grade requirements and supplier traceability.
• Long rated life at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85°C ensures predictable behavior and endurance in sustained thermal environments.
• Balanced ripple performance: Defined ripple current values at both low and high frequencies help designers size capacitors for real-world switching and ripple conditions.
• Small SMD footprint: 6.3 × 5.4 mm package with a 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land pattern enables space-efficient designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directives for hazardous substance restrictions.
