Overview of GXC1E271MCW1GS – 270 µF, 25 V Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic (Surface-Mount)
The GXC1E271MCW1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. With a rated capacitance of 270 µF and a 25 V rating, it combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10 × 10 mm can-style SMD package.
Designed for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200–rated, RoHS-compliant device delivers long life at elevated temperatures (4000 hours at 135°C) while supporting automated assembly through embossed carrier taping.
Key Features
- Core — Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic construction providing high reliability and low ESR for power applications.
- Capacitance & tolerance — 270 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing functions.
- Voltage — Rated for 25 V operation.
- Low loss / ESR — ESR of 16 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20°C, supporting high-frequency performance.
- Ripple current capability — 495 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust ripple-handling in power circuits.
- High-temperature endurance — Qualified for 4000 hours at 135°C under rated conditions, with endurance limits defined for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
- Tan δ (loss tangent) — 0.14 maximum at 25 V, 120 Hz, 20°C, indicating controlled dielectric loss characteristics.
- Leakage current — Specified leakage of 67.5 µA after standard charge conditions.
- Package & mounting — φ10 × 10 mm radial can in an SMD form factor, supplied on embossed carrier tape for pick-and-place.
- Environmental & reliability — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance; vibration resistant construction for mechanically demanding assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 4000-hour endurance at 135°C make this capacitor suitable for in-vehicle power systems where elevated temperature tolerance and reliability are required.
- High-temperature power subsystems — The −55°C to 135°C operating range and long-life rating support use in power modules and electronics exposed to sustained high temperatures.
- Vibration-prone assemblies — Vibration-resistant design and SMD packaging enable reliable operation in mechanically active environments.
- Compact surface-mount designs — φ10 × 10 mm size and embossed carrier taping facilitate automated assembly in space-constrained PCBs.
Unique Advantages
