UWP1C100MCL1GB

The UWP1C100MCL1GB from Nichicon is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface‑mount chip package. Designed for automated assembly, embossed carrier taping and a small φ5 × 5.4L footprint enable high‑density PCB layouts.

Targeted at automotive electronics, this RoHS‑compliant, AEC‑Q200 qualified capacitor delivers 10 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and documented endurance of 1000 hours at 85°C, providing a balance of reliability and compact size for constrained designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Bi‑Polar Construction — Bi‑polarized design suitable where non‑polar behavior is required in surface‑mount form.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can SMD package (φ5 × 5.4L) designed for surface mounting; supplied on embossed carrier tape for automatic placement.
• Automotive‑Grade Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and specified for automotive applications in the product data.
• Operating Range & Endurance — Rated for −40°C to +85°C with an endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion per datasheet test conditions).
• Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings documented as 23 mA at 120 Hz and 34.5 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and decoupling use cases.
• Compliance — RoHS‑compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and −40°C to +85°C operating range make this capacitor suitable for use in vehicle electronics that require space‑efficient SMD components.
• In‑vehicle infotainment and telematics — Compact footprint and bi‑polar behavior support AC coupling and decoupling functions on dense PCBs.
• Control and sensor units — Documented endurance (1000 h at 85°C) and specified ripple current ratings help maintain stability in sensing and control circuits.

Unique Advantages

• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Demonstrates suitability for automotive applications referenced in the product data, supporting system reliability requirements.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ5 × 5.4L radial can in a chip package and embossed carrier taping simplify automated placement and high‑density PCB layout.
• Bi‑polar design: Enables non‑polar capacitor functions in surface‑mount applications where polarity reversal can occur.
• Proven endurance: 1000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion per datasheet) provides a defined lifecycle metric for thermal and electrical stress planning.
• Documented ripple characteristics: Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz helps designers budget thermal and AC performance in power and filtering circuits.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant materials for environmentally regulated designs.
