MAL216099702E3

Vishay BCcomponents · 160 CLA series · Aluminium electrolytic capacitor, 100 uF, 80 V, 150 C · SMD 12.5 x 12.5 x 16 mm (4-pin)

MAL216099702E3 is the 100 uF / 80 V member of Vishay's 160 CLA series: polarized aluminium electrolytic capacitors with non-solid electrolyte in an SMD (V-chip) can on a plastic base plate, rated for -55 C to +150 C, low impedance, AEC-Q200 qualified and reflow solderable to JEDEC J-STD-020. The 12.5 mm case has two extra dummy pins under the base plate for vibration resistance; they have no electrical connection (Vishay document 28405, rev. 20-Aug-2026, p.1, p.2).

Polarity

Pad Terminal How to find it on the part
1 Anode (+) the base plate's bevelled corners are on this end
2 Cathode (-) the black bar printed on the can top is on this end
MP (2x) Dummy pins no electrical connection; solder them, and connect to GND or leave open

Source: doc 28405 p.1 (Marking: "Black mark or '-' sign indicating the cathode (the anode is identified by bevelled edges)"), p.2 Fig. 2, p.3 Fig. 4 note. The footprint's silkscreen and fab outline carry the same bevels on the pad-1 side and a "+" next to pad 1.

Ordering variants

The 160 CLA series uses ordering codes MAL2160 + five digits + E3 (doc 28405 p.5). Parts in the same 12.5 x 12.5 x 16 case (1216) share this footprint and the 3D body:

Ordering code Value Case
MAL216099702E3 100 uF, 80 V 1216 (this page)
MAL216099804E3 150 uF, 63 V 1216
MAL216099103E3 220 uF, 50 V 1216

The 1213 case (12.5 x 12.5 x 13) uses the same land pattern but a lower can, so the 3D model differs. 260 CLA-V is a related series covered by the same packaging document.

Footprint

Pads follow Vishay's recommended soldering pad dimensions for case 1216 (doc 28405 p.3, Fig. 4 and Table 3): two main pads 6.3 x 2.5 mm with a 4.0 mm gap (centres at x = +-5.15 mm) and two mechanical pads 5.0 x 4.2 mm with a 5.6 mm gap (centres at y = +-4.9 mm) for the dummy pins. Vishay draws the pattern with the anode on the right; this footprint is the same pattern turned 180 degrees so pad 1 (+) is on the left, the KiCad convention for polarized capacitors. KiCad's standard library has no footprint for this case.

Footprint check

3D models

Vishay's CAD models are served through a third-party portal that needs a signed-in session, and KiCad has no model for this case, so the model was built from the datasheet with CadQuery (provenance/tools/build_cla1216.py). Printed values are used as printed (D 12.5, S 3.6) or chosen inside the printed maxima (plate 12.8, height 16.0, terminal width 1.2, 14.3 over the terminals); the base plate thickness, bevels, can neck and terminal positions were measured off Fig. 2, and the colours (bare aluminium can, black bar, black base plate, tin terminals) come from the maker's product photo. The base plate is simplified to a flat slab; the real plate has raised corner blocks. The overlay puts the model on Vishay's top and bottom views:

Model over the Vishay drawing

The part number on the can top (MAL2160 / 99702E3, dark, beside the cathode bar) is a virtual identification mark added with adom-chip-laser, not Vishay's printed marking (capacitance, voltage, date code and group code). It runs along the bar so it never covers it. The page's 3D viewer shows a hero model with the footprint's pad outlines, the +, - and MP labels and the silkscreen; boards should use mal216099702e3-etched.glb or the STEP.

Detail levels for board and digital-twin viewers

Four clean board-use GLBs; every level keeps the cathode bar so polarity stays visible.

Open items

  • Vishay's own 3D model was not compared (portal needs a session).
  • Tape orientation for pick and place not confirmed (the 1216 tape drawing in doc 28359 is too small to read the polarity marks).
  • The libraries were checked by parsing them, not by opening them in KiCad, Fusion or Altium.
  • Not yet reviewed by a person.
