UWX0J220MCL1GB

The UWX0J220MCL1GB is a surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UWX series, offering 22 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact φ4 × 5.4 mm can-style SMD package. It is designed for high-density PCB mounting with embossed carrier taping for automated placement and assembly.

Engineered for reliability in temperature-constrained environments, this part provides a 2000-hour load life at 85°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and tight electrical characteristics including low leakage and defined ripple current specifications suitable for automotive and industrial power conditioning applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can, chip-type SMD package (φ4 × 5.4 mm); supplied on embossed carrier tape for automatic surface-mount placement. Surface mount land size: 4.3 × 4.3 mm.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life of 2000 hours at 85°C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after life test.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated ripple current of 28 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 42 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to support smoothing and decoupling duties across common source frequencies.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C.
• Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –40°C to +85°C operation, suitable for a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, supporting use in regulated and automotive-grade design processes.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Local decoupling and smoothing in control modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000 h life at 85°C are required.
• ECU and embedded power rails — Bulk decoupling for low-voltage rails and transient suppression, leveraging the 22 µF capacitance and defined ripple current ratings.
• Industrial control electronics — Compact SMD footprint and embossed carrier taping enable automated assembly in high-density industrial PCBs.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Explicit AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive applications requiring supplier-level component qualification.
• Compact, Assembly-Ready Package: φ4 × 5.4 mm SMD can and embossed carrier tape simplify placement on high-density PCBs and automated lines.
• Balanced Ripple Capability: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provides predictable performance for low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Low Leakage for Low-Power Designs: Leakage current limited to 0.01CV or 3 µA, enabling stable behavior in standby and low-current circuits.
• Proven Thermal Endurance: 2000 hours at 85°C endurance rating ensures predictable long-term behavior under sustained elevated temperature stress.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with environmental and manufacturing regulations.
