Overview of GYA1H121MCW1GS – Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 120 µF, 50 V
The GYA1H121MCW1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It delivers 120 µF nominal capacitance at 50 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for reliable operation in demanding temperature environments.
Designed for high-reliability applications, the part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from −55 °C to 125 °C with a 4000-hour endurance at 125 °C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 120 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 50 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction: Hybrid polymer/aluminum electrolytic architecture for lower ESR and improved ripple handling compared with conventional electrolytics.
- Low ESR: ESR specified at 28 mΩ measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
- High Ripple Current: Rated for 240 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), enabling robust power filtering and decoupling in compact designs.
- High-Temperature Endurance: Life rating of 4000 hours at 125 °C under rated DC bias plus ripple current; operating temperature range −55 °C to 125 °C.
- Loss Tangent / DF: tan δ = 0.10 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 50 V, for predictable dissipation characteristics.
- Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 60 µA after two minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C.
- Package & Assembly: Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 10 mm), supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
- Compliance & Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated environments.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics: AEC-Q200 qualification and 125 °C endurance make this capacitor suitable for vehicle electronic modules requiring long-term reliability.
- High-Temperature Systems: Rated operation to 125 °C and 4000-hour life at that temperature support use in elevated-temperature assemblies and environments.
- Power Filtering and Decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings provide effective decoupling and smoothing in compact SMD power stages.
Unique Advantages
- Proven High-Temperature Endurance: 4000 hours at 125 °C ensures sustained performance where prolonged elevated temperatures are expected.
- High Ripple Capability in a Compact SMD Can: Combined ripple-current ratings and a φ10 × 10 mm SMD package deliver high performance in space-constrained board layouts.
- Low ESR for Efficient Power Handling: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and supports stable high-frequency operation.
- Predictable Dissipation Behavior: Specified tan δ (0.10 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 50 V) provides designers with consistent dielectric loss characteristics for thermal budgeting.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports deployment in designs that require component-level reliability verification.
- SMD Supply Format: Embossed carrier taping facilitates automated pick-and-place assembly for volume manufacturing.
