Overview of UWX1C560MCL1GB – 56 µF, 16 V Aluminum Electrolytic Chip Capacitor (SMD)
The UWX1C560MCL1GB is a Nichicon aluminum electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, optimized for surface mounting on high-density printed circuit boards. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact footprint and polarized construction for power filtering and decoupling tasks.
Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the part carries an AEC-Q200 rating, RoHS compliance, and a specified load life of 2000 hours at 85°C. This product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Package & Mounting — Chip-type aluminum electrolytic in a radial can SMD package designed for surface mounting on high-density PCBs and compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape.
- Electrical — 56 µF capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C); polarized design suited for DC smoothing and decoupling.
- Reliability & Endurance — Load life specified as 2000 hours at 85°C; endurance characteristics include limits on capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
- Temperature Range — Operates across −40°C to +85°C, supporting a wide ambient range for embedded and automotive electronics.
- Ripple Performance — Rated ripple current values provided: 63 mA at 120 Hz and 94.5 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC ripple handling in power rails.
- Compliance — RoHS directive compliant and AEC-Q200 rated, supporting regulated-environment and automotive-grade requirements.
- Mechanical Dimensions — Compact footprint with body dimensions L: 5.4 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended SMD land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm to aid layout and automated assembly.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and 2000 h/85°C endurance make this capacitor suitable for power smoothing and decoupling in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems.
- High-density SMD Boards — Compact radial can SMD package and small footprint accommodate space-constrained power and analog circuits on densely populated PCBs.
- Automated Assembly Lines — Applicable to automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape, simplifying PCB assembly for high-volume production.
Unique Advantages
- Compact SMD Can — Small L × D dimensions reduce board area consumed by bulk capacitance while maintaining electrolytic performance.
- Automated-Attach Ready — Designed for carrier-tape feed and automatic placement to speed manufacturing and reduce manual handling costs.
- AEC-Q200 Rated — Explicit AEC-Q200 rating provides a traceable reliability standard useful for automotive and harsh-environment applications.
- Designed Endurance — Specified 2000-hour load life at 85°C enables predictable performance planning for thermal and lifetime budgets.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead-free environmental compliance in modern electronic assemblies.
- Measurable Ripple Capability — Published ripple current specs at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow engineers to match the component to expected AC stress on power rails.
