UWT1C220MCL1GB

The UWT1C220MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UWT series, designed for surface mounting on high-density PCBs. It provides 22 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating, polarized construction, and is engineered for applications that require wide temperature operation and automated assembly.

Key value propositions include a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive use, and a compact SMD can package suitable for automated placement with carrier tape.

Key Features

• Electrical Specification — 22 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V (polarized).
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C, supporting designs exposed to extreme environments.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified for use in automotive applications where that qualification is required.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 1000 hours at 105 °C, suitable for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current: 30 mA at 120 Hz and 45 mA at 10 kHz.
• Compact SMD Can Package — Case dimensions L: 5.4 × D: 5.0 mm with a recommended surface-mount land size of 5.3 × 5.3 mm for high-density PCB layouts.
• Surface-Mount & Automated Assembly — Chip-type design is applicable to automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape and intended for surface mounting on high-density PC boards.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for automotive electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and wide operating temperature are required.
• High-Density Surface-Mount Assemblies — Compact SMD can and small land pattern make it appropriate for space-constrained PCB designs.
• Automated Volume Manufacturing — Designed for use with carrier-tape-fed automatic mounting machines to support scalable production.

Unique Advantages

• Wide operational temperature window — −55 °C to +105 °C supports a broad range of environmental conditions, reducing the need for multiple part variants.
• AEC-Q200 qualification — Enables use in automotive-grade designs that require recognized component qualification.
• Compact footprint for dense layouts — Small can dimensions and recommended land size simplify placement in space-limited PCBs.
• Designed for automated assembly — Carrier-tape compatibility streamlines pick-and-place integration and high-volume production.
• Durability at elevated temperature — 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C provides predictable life characteristics for high-temperature applications.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports regulatory and environmental requirements.
