GXC1V151MCW1GS

The GXC1V151MCW1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. As a chip-type, surface-mount device it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current performance in a compact radial can SMD package.

Targeted at demanding electronics including automotive systems, this capacitor offers a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to +135°C, AEC-Q200 qualification, and a long rated life of 4000 hours at 135°C—features that address thermal stress, high ripple loads, and longevity requirements in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 150 µF rated at 35 V suited for bulk decoupling and energy buffering in power circuits.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling: ESR = 18 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current up to 2.8 A (100 kHz), enabling efficient smoothing and high-frequency power filtering.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Operating temperature −55°C to +135°C with a specified life of 4000 hours at 135°C for extended reliability in hot environments.
• Automotive Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified for use in automotive-grade designs where specified qualification is required.
• Surface-Mount Can Package: Radial, can-style SMD package designed for PCB mounting with a recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Leakage and Tolerance: Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance ±20% and leakage current spec per datasheet (0.01CV after 2 minutes at 20°C as defined in series specifications).
• RoHS Compliant: Conforms to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics: Bulk smoothing and energy buffering in ECUs, power modules and other vehicle electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC converters and onboard power supplies: Output filtering and ripple suppression in converters operating at elevated temperatures and high switching frequencies.
• Industrial and high-temperature electronics: Power filtering and decoupling in equipment exposed to continuous high ambient temperatures up to 135°C.
• High-frequency power systems: Applications that benefit from low ESR and high ripple current capability at 100 kHz for improved efficiency and thermal performance.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 135°C reduces replacement frequency and supports designs requiring prolonged thermal endurance.
• High ripple-current capacity: 2.8 A (100 kHz) and 420 mA (120 Hz) ratings allow effective handling of both high-frequency and low-frequency ripple loads.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 18 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes loss and heat generation in power paths, aiding thermal management and efficiency.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables use in automotive-grade applications where component qualification is mandatory.
• Compact surface-mount can package: Small footprint (approx. 10 mm × 8 mm) and defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) simplify PCB layout while delivering high capacitance.
• Regulatory and environmental compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated markets and simplifies compliance documentation.
