UWZ1C151MCL1GS

The UWZ1C151MCL1GS is a chip-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon designed for surface-mount assembly and automated placement. It combines a compact SMD can package with wide operating temperature performance (–55°C to +105°C) and compatibility with 260°C peak reflow processes.

Targeted at demanding environments, this part carries AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, and is specified for endurance up to 1000 hours at 105°C—making it suitable for electronics that require reliable energy storage and smoothing under elevated temperature and vibration conditions.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 150 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and smoothing.
• High-Temperature Reflow Compatibility — Rated to withstand 260°C peak reflow soldering. Recommended reflow condition: 260°C peak for 5 seconds and 230°C over 60 seconds, 2 passes (with specified single-pass exceptions for larger diameters).
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for operation from –55°C to +105°C to maintain performance across broad thermal envelopes.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualification and a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C under applied rated voltage ensure robustness for vehicle electronics.
• Long-Term Stability — Endurance limits: capacitance change within ±25% (for ≤16 V) after 1000 hours at 105°C; leakage current remains within initial specified limits.
• Compact SMD Can Package — Radial, can-type SMD with body dimensions L: 7.7 × D: 6.3 mm and a surface-mount land recommendation of 6.6 × 6.6 mm for automated tape-fed placement.
• Ripple Performance — Specified ripple current: 95 mA at 120 Hz and 142.5 mA at 10 kHz, supporting moderate ripple handling in power circuits.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in electronic control units where AEC-Q200 qualification and –55°C to +105°C operation are required.
• ECU and module assembly — Surface-mount, tape-fed compatibility and 260°C reflow tolerance simplify automated assembly of control modules and power electronics.
• Infotainment and instrument clusters — Compact SMD can package provides board-level capacitance in space-constrained circuits exposed to wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• 260°C reflow tolerance: Enables use with high-temperature assembly processes, reducing special handling or separate soldering steps.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Provides a documented reliability baseline for automotive designs and other high-reliability systems.
• Wide operational temperature range: –55°C to +105°C operation supports applications exposed to extreme thermal conditions.
• Proven long-term endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C with controlled capacitance and leakage behavior delivers predictable lifetime performance.
• Compact SMD form factor: Small footprint (7.7 × 6.3 mm) and carrier-tape compatibility speed automated placement and save PCB area.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies environmental and supply-chain acceptance.
