GXC1E331MCQ1GS

The GXC1E331MCQ1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount can package designed for high-temperature, high-reliability applications. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term endurance for demanding embedded and automotive electronics.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (16 mΩ at 100 kHz, 20°C), high-frequency ripple handling (3.3 A at 100 kHz), and a long rated life of 4000 hours at 135°C, all in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD footprint with embossed carrier taping.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF rated capacitance at 25 V, with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk decoupling and energy storage in compact designs.
• Low ESR — ESR of 16 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C, minimizing power loss and heat generation in high-current circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Supports 495 mA at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 4000 hours at 135°C with specified endurance metrics (capacitance, tan δ, ESR, leakage) maintained within datasheet limits after testing.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +135°C, supporting thermal extremes encountered in power-dense and harsh environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 82.5 µA (0.01CV after 2 minutes at 20°C), consistent with conductive polymer hybrid construction.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating for use in applications requiring automotive-qualified components.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can package, size φ10×10 mm, supplied in embossed carrier taping for assembly efficiency and pick-and-place compatibility.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Power smoothing and energy buffering in AEC-Q200-qualified modules where high temperature endurance and high ripple tolerance are required.
• Power conversion and distribution — Bulk decoupling and ripple suppression in DC–DC converters and power stages that demand low ESR and high-frequency ripple handling.
• Harsh-environment embedded systems — Energy storage and filtering in systems operating across −55°C to +135°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature reliability: 4000 hours at 135°C life rating provides predictable long-term performance in thermally stressed designs.
• Low-loss operation: 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces conduction losses and supports efficient power delivery in high-current paths.
• High-frequency capability: 3.3 A ripple current at 100 kHz enables effective suppression of switching noise in modern power converters.
• Automotive readiness: AEC-Q200 qualification signals suitability for automotive-grade electronic modules and systems requiring certified components.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 10 mm surface-mount can with embossed taping eases PCB layout and automated assembly in space-constrained designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated product lines and eases environmental compliance efforts.
