GWC1E221MCX1GS

The GWC1E221MCX1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It pairs low impedance and high ripple-handling capability with a compact SMD can package to support demanding power and decoupling roles in thermally challenging environments.

Key value propositions include a 220 µF capacitance at 25 V, low ESR (18 mΩ at 100 kHz, 20°C), and a long endurance rating of 4000 hours at 135°C, making it suitable where sustained performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic design for low impedance and stable performance across frequency.
• Electrical Performance 220 µF nominal capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance; tan δ (DF) ≤ 0.14 at 20°C, 120 Hz; leakage current specified as 55 µA.
• Low Impedance / Ripple Handling ESR of 18 mΩ (20°C, 100 kHz) combined with ripple current ratings of 450 mA at 120 Hz and 3.0 A at 100 kHz for robust AC tolerance.
• High-Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −55°C to +135°C with an endurance life of 4000 hours at 135°C under rated conditions.
• Reliability & Qualification AEC-Q200 qualified and described in the series as “135°C High Reliability”; designed for long life, low impedance, and vibration resistance.
• Package & Mounting Compact SMD can package (φ8 × 10 mm) with surface-mount land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics AEC-Q200 qualification and −55°C to +135°C rating make this capacitor suitable for vehicle electronics where high-temperature endurance and vibration resistance are required.
• High-Temperature Power Modules Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support decoupling and smoothing duties in compact power supplies operating at elevated temperatures.
• Compact Surface-Mount Designs The φ8 × 10 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping facilitate automated assembly in space-constrained boards needing high capacitance density.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours rated life at 135°C provides long-term stability in thermally stressed designs.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 18 mΩ (100 kHz) reduces power loss and improves transient response in high-frequency circuits.
• Strong ripple-handling: 3.0 A at 100 kHz and 450 mA at 120 Hz enable reliable performance under significant AC stress.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in designs requiring recognized reliability standards.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 10 mm can with defined land pattern simplifies integration into automated board assembly.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental directive compliance for regulated markets.
