GWC1J151MNX1GS

The GWC1J151MNX1GS from Nichicon is a chip‑type conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the GWC series designed for high‑temperature, high‑reliability applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple current capability with extended high‑temperature life characteristics for demanding board‑level power systems.

Key value propositions include long life at elevated temperatures (4000 hours at 135°C), low equivalent series resistance (13 mΩ at 100 kHz), and qualification targeted at automotive and other high‑reliability markets (AEC‑Q200; RoHS compliant).

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 150 µF capacitance at 63 V with ±20% tolerance; ESR specified at 13 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) to support high‑frequency ripple suppression.
• High Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 570 mA at 120 Hz and 3.8 A at 100 kHz for robust handling of both low‑ and high‑frequency power pulses.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life Endurance rated for 4000 hours at 135°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current, delivering predictable aging and long service life in elevated‑temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range Operates from −55°C to 135°C with controlled impedance vs. temperature (Z(−25°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 2; Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 2.5 at 100 kHz).
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package Chip‑type SMD radial/can package with footprint dimensions L: 1.65 × D: 1.0 cm and recommended land size L: 1.03 × W: 1.03 cm for dense board layouts.
• Leakage and Stability Leakage current specified as ≤ 0.01 C·V (µA) after 2 minutes at 20°C; endurance and damp‑heat tests define limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage after stress.
• Compliance and Qualification AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, addressing environmental requirements and qualification expectations for regulated and automotive segments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and −55°C to 135°C rating make this capacitor suitable for electronic control modules and other vehicle systems requiring high‑temperature endurance.
• High‑temperature power electronics — 4000‑hour life at 135°C and high ripple current ratings support power stages and modules that operate in elevated ambient temperatures.
• Surface‑mount board‑level power filtering — Chip‑type SMD packaging with low ESR (13 mΩ at 100 kHz) is suited for decoupling and noise suppression in compact, high‑frequency power networks.
• Compact, high‑density assemblies — Small footprint and SMD form factor enable space‑constrained designs where board real estate and reliability are priorities.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved ripple handling: 13 mΩ (100 kHz) ESR reduces voltage ripple and thermal buildup in high‑frequency applications.
• High ripple current capability: 3.8 A at 100 kHz (and 570 mA at 120 Hz) supports both switching and low‑frequency power domains without compromising life.
• Long high‑temperature lifetime: 4000 hours at 135°C gives predictable endurance and reduces the need for overspecifying components for thermal stress.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance address regulatory and reliability needs for regulated systems.
• Stable performance across temperature: Specified impedance ratios across −55°C to +20°C ensure consistent behavior in cold‑start and extreme ambient conditions.
• Compact SMD form factor: Chip‑type radial/can SMD package and small footprint simplify integration into high‑density PCB layouts.
