GXC1H151MCQ1GS

The GXC1H151MCQ1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package from Nichicon's GXC series. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at 50 V with low ESR and high ripple current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed for high-reliability environments, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant device offers extended endurance at elevated temperatures and is supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated assembly and mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 50 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR — 17 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C/100 kHz to reduce power loss and improve high-frequency performance.
• High ripple current capability — 495 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.3 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective ripple management.
• Controlled leakage — Leakage current of 75 µA (0.01CV) after 2 minutes at 20°C for predictable bias behavior.
• High-temperature endurance — 4000 hours life/ endurance rating at 135°C under rated conditions.
• Wide operating range — Specified for −55°C to +135°C operation.
• Surface-mount, production-ready — φ10 × 12.5L can (L: 1.25 cm × D: 1.00 cm) in an SMD radial can package, supplied on embossed carrier tape for pick-and-place.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive applications.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directives for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and 135°C endurance support in-vehicle power systems and control modules requiring long-term thermal reliability.
• High-temperature power modules — Suited to power assemblies operating at elevated temperatures where long life and stable electrical characteristics are required.
• Power supply filtering and decoupling — Low ESR and high-frequency ripple capability make this capacitor appropriate for smoothing and decoupling in DC-DC converters and power rails.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high-temperature lifetime: 4000 hours at 135°C provides predictable performance in thermally stressed environments.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 495 mA (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz) cover both low- and high-frequency ripple demands.
• Low high-frequency loss: 17 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes dissipation and supports efficient power-stage operation.
• Automotive readiness: AEC-Q200 qualification signals suitability for automotive-grade electronic designs.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 12.5L can in embossed carrier tape enables automated placement while conserving board area.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (75 µA) ensures consistent bias characteristics and easier margining in designs.
