UWZ1C101MCL1GB

The UWZ1C101MCL1GB is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mount assembly and demanding temperature environments. With a rated capacitance of 100 µF at 16 V, this part delivers bulk capacitance and filtering capability in a compact SMD can package for board-level power management.

Engineered for automotive and industrial electronics, the UWZ series combines wide operating temperature capability (−55°C to +105°C), AEC‑Q200 qualification, and compatibility with high-temperature reflow processes, enabling reliable performance on automated production lines and in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Electrolytic, Polar Chip Type 100 µF capacitance with polarized construction suited for bulk decoupling and smoothing on power rails.
• Rated Voltage 16 V rated voltage to match common low-voltage power rails.
• Wide Operating Temperature Specified for −55°C to +105°C operation to support applications exposed to extreme ambient conditions.
• High‑Temperature Reflow Compatibility Designed for 260°C peak reflow soldering; recommended reflow condition: 260°C peak for 5 seconds and 230°C over 60 seconds (two passes; see datasheet for exceptions by size).
• Automotive Qualification AEC‑Q200 qualified, providing documented qualification status for automotive electronic designs.
• Endurance and Reliability Rated for 1000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current per the datasheet.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics Leakage current per datasheet: ≤ 0.01CV or 3 µA (whichever is greater) after 2 minutes at 20°C; tan δ and impedance characteristics listed in the datasheet for design verification.
• Compact SMD Can Package Small footprint with dimensions L: 5.4 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size L: 6.6 × W: 6.6 mm for automated placement.
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Ripple Current Ratings Defined ripple current: 60 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 90 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) for thermal and performance planning.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on ECU and in-vehicle control boards where AEC‑Q200 qualification and wide temperature range are required.
• Power supply filtering — Energy storage and ripple reduction on surface-mount PCBs for DC–DC converters and power rails operating across broad ambient temperatures.
• Industrial control electronics — SMD mounting for controllers and sensor interfaces exposed to harsh thermal environments.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature assembly compatibility: Supports 260°C peak reflow, allowing use on modern automated SMT lines without special handling for reflow-sensitive components.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification provides a documented qualification pathway for in-vehicle applications.
• Wide temperature operation: −55°C to +105°C rating helps ensure functional stability across extreme environments common in automotive and industrial systems.
• Defined endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C endurance specification lets designers plan long-term performance and lifecycle expectations.
• Compact SMD can format: Small footprint and tape-and-reel compatibility simplify BOM and placement for automated production.
• Clear electrical specifications: Documented leakage current, tan δ, and ripple current values allow straightforward thermal and electrical design verification.
