UWX1E220MCL1GB

The UWX1E220MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon UWX series, specified at 22 µF and 25 V. Designed for surface mounting on high-density PC boards and compatible with automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape, it targets demanding embedded and automotive electronics where compact SMD power decoupling and energy storage are required.

Key reliability attributes include AEC-Q200 compliance, RoHS conformity, a rated operating range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and a load life specification of 2000 hours at 85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for predictable decoupling and bulk storage in compact power rails.
• Compact Chip Package — Chip-type SMD design intended for high-density PCBs; physical size is 5.4 × 6.3 mm (L × D) with a recommended land pattern of 6.6 × 6.6 mm.
• Surface-Mount Assembly — Specifically specified for surface mounting and compatible with automatic carrier-tape feeding to support high-volume automated placement.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 compliant with a rated operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C and an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C.
• Performance under Load — Specified ripple current capability of 42 mA at 120 Hz and 63 mA at 10 kHz to support real-world switching and ripple conditions.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Electrolytic — Polarized construction suitable for DC decoupling and energy storage applications; case marking is a black print on the case top for polarity identification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 compliance and rated endurance at 85 °C make this part suitable for capacitive decoupling and local energy storage within automotive control modules and electronic subsystems.
• High‑Density PCB Power Rail Support — Chip SMD form factor and carrier-tape compatibility enable automated placement on compact boards where board real estate is constrained.
• Embedded Power Filtering — Used for smoothing and ripple reduction on DC power rails in embedded controllers and electronic modules operating within −40 °C to +85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance provides a documented qualification baseline for automotive electronic designs.
• Compact SMD Footprint: Chip-type package and a 6.6 × 6.6 mm recommended land pattern reduce board area compared with larger radial can styles while retaining electrolytic capacitance.
• Assembly-Friendly: Carrier-tape compatibility supports high-throughput automated placement to streamline manufacturing.
• Thermal Endurance: Specified 2000-hour load life at 85 °C provides quantifiable endurance for thermal stress planning and lifetime estimations.
• Measurable Ripple Handling: Published ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to match the part to expected switching and ripple conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity helps ensure compliance with common environmental directives.
