The UWZ1A221MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly and demanding temperature environments. It provides 220 µF capacitance at 10 V in a compact SMD can (L: 7.7 × D: 6.3 mm) and is optimized for automated production.

Built for robustness in automotive and industrial applications, the UWZ1A221MCL1GS is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, compatible with carrier-tape feeding, and specified to withstand peak reflow at 260°C while operating across –55°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — 220 µF nominal capacitance at 10 V with ±20% tolerance, providing bulk capacitance for low-voltage circuits.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from –55°C to +105°C, enabling use in thermally challenging environments.
• High-temperature Reflow Compatibility — Designed to correspond with 260°C peak reflow soldering; recommended reflow condition is 260°C peak for 5 seconds (with specified profiles for multiple passes).
• Automotive-grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring industry-standard reliability.
• Reliability and Endurance — Specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C; endurance limits for capacitance change and leakage are defined for long-term operation.
• Low Leakage and Loss — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.01CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at 20°C; tan δ limits provided per rated voltage.
• Mounting and Package — Chip-type radial can in SMD package suitable for automatic mounting machines fed with carrier tape; surface-mount land size recommended: 6.6 × 6.6 mm.
• Ripple Performance — Ripple current ratings include 105 mA at 120 Hz and 157.5 mA at 10 kHz for thermal and electrical design consideration.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 qualification and –55°C to +105°C operation make this part suitable for electronics in vehicles where temperature cycling and reliability are critical.
• Automated surface-mount production — Chip form factor, carrier-tape compatibility, and 260°C peak reflow capability support high-throughput PCB assembly processes.
• Low-voltage power filtering — 220 µF at 10 V provides bulk capacitance for smoothing and energy storage in compact power rails and low-voltage circuitry.

Unique Advantages

• AEC-Q200 qualified for reliability: Reduces validation burden when designing for automotive-grade or high-reliability systems.
• Reflow-ready SMD format: Supports automated pick-and-place and lead-free reflow processes for modern manufacturing lines.
• Wide operating temperature: –55°C to +105°C rating enables deployment across a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Defined endurance and shelf-life: 1000 hours at 105°C endurance and equivalent shelf-life specifications simplify lifetime planning.
• Compact footprint: Small L: 7.7 × D: 6.3 mm can and recommended 6.6 × 6.6 mm land pattern help conserve PCB area in dense designs.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Specified leakage, tan δ, and ripple current figures allow accurate thermal and performance modeling.
