UWZ1C100MCL1GB

The UWZ1C100MCL1GB is a chip‑type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UWZ series, specified at 10 µF and 16 V in a compact φ4 × 5.4 mm SMD can. It is designed for surface‑mount assembly, supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated placement, and is AEC‑Q200 qualified for automotive applications.

This part offers a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and a 1,000‑hour endurance rating at 105°C, making it suitable for power‑conditioning roles in harsh thermal environments where space and automated assembly are priorities.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF rated capacitance at 16 V, with tolerance –20% to +20% for predictable charge storage in power circuits.
• Wide Temperature Range: Specified for −55°C to +105°C to support operation across demanding ambient conditions.
• High‑Temperature Endurance: Rated for 1,000 hours at 105°C, meeting endurance requirements for elevated‑temperature deployments.
• Reflow Compatibility: Chip‑type construction supports high‑temperature reflow processes (260°C peak), enabling modern SMT assembly flows.
• Electrical Performance: Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current typically 3 µA; low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings of 18 mA (120 Hz) and 27 mA (10 kHz), respectively.
• Packaging & Mounting: Surface‑mount can package (φ4 × 5.4 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping for automatic mounting machines, with recommended land pattern L: 4.3 × W: 4.3 mm.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant and AEC‑Q200 qualified, supporting regulated and automotive system requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics: Suitable for power rail smoothing and decoupling in automotive control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature tolerance are required.
• Compact Power Modules: Small φ4 × 5.4 mm SMD can enables use in space‑constrained power supplies and DC/DC converter output filtering.
• Automated SMT Production: Embossed carrier taping and chip‑type reflow compatibility make it appropriate for high‑volume, automated assembly lines.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive‑grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and 1,000‑hour endurance at 105°C provide specification‑level assurance for vehicle electronics.
• Wide Thermal Window: −55°C to +105°C rating supports deployment across harsh ambient conditions and broad system environments.
• Assembly‑friendly Packaging: Embossed carrier tape and reflow‑capable chip construction simplify integration into automated SMT workflows.
• Measured AC Performance: Specified tan δ and ripple current values at both low and high frequencies allow designers to assess performance for filtering and decoupling tasks.
• Compact Footprint: Small diameter and length (φ4 × 5.4 mm) enable use where board area is limited while retaining electrolytic capacitance density.

Why Choose UWZ1C100MCL1GB?

UWZ1C100MCL1GB positions itself as a compact, automotive‑oriented SMD electrolytic capacitor that balances small form factor with defined endurance and temperature capability. Its combination of 10 µF/16 V electrical ratings, AEC‑Q200 qualification, and embossed carrier taping makes it well suited to engineers specifying capacitors for power conditioning in space‑constrained, high‑reliability applications.

The part delivers verifiable parameters—tan δ, leakage current, and ripple current ratings—so designers can size components against system ripple, loss and lifetime requirements while keeping assembly compatible with modern SMT reflow processes.
