GXC1E151MCW1GS

The GXC1E151MCW1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's GXC series, designed for high-reliability applications that demand stable performance at elevated temperatures. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high ripple-current capability, and long-term endurance at 135°C, making it suitable for demanding automotive and high-temperature electronics.

Key Features

• Construction  Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic design for robust electrical performance and reduced ESR.
• Capacitance & Voltage  150 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• High-temperature endurance  Qualified for operation from −55°C to +135°C with a rated life of 4000 hours at 135°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Low ESR  ESR specified at 18 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C) to support high-frequency applications.
• High ripple current  420 mA at 120 Hz and 2.8 A at 100 kHz to handle pulsating loads and switching environments.
• Reliability & qualification  AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & assembly  Surface-mount radial can (SMD) with a recommended land size of 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for PCB mounting.
• Leakage current  Low leakage characteristic: after 2 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage ≤ 0.01 C·V (µA).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics  For electronic modules and assemblies that require AEC-Q200 qualification and reliable operation at elevated temperatures.
• High-temperature systems  Components deployed in environments up to 135°C benefit from the capacitor's 4000-hour endurance rating at 135°C.
• Space-constrained SMD designs  Surface-mount radial can and a compact PCB land footprint (8.3 mm × 8.3 mm) simplify integration into dense assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Proven high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 135°C provides predictable aging and long-term stability under sustained thermal stress.
• Low ESR for high-frequency performance: 18 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and supports lower operating temperatures in high-frequency circuits.
• Strong ripple-current capability: 2.8 A at 100 kHz (and 420 mA at 120 Hz) enables reliable handling of switching currents and ripple loads.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in automotive-related electronic designs requiring industry-recognized qualification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to applicable directives for material and environmental requirements.
• Compact SMD packaging: Surface-mount radial can design with defined PCB land pattern simplifies automated assembly and placement.
