GYB1C471MCQ1GS

The GYB1C471MCQ1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can (chip) package. It combines a 470 µF capacitance with a 16 V rating and is engineered for applications that require low impedance, high ripple-current capability and long-endurance operation.

Designed for automotive use and other demanding environments, this GYB-series part delivers low ESR, broad temperature range, and a 10,000‑hour life at 105°C to support reliable power conditioning and decoupling in compact surface-mount designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF capacitance with a ±20% tolerance at 16 V rated voltage, suitable for energy storage and smoothing in low-voltage power rails.
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction — Hybrid conductive polymer/aluminum design for lower impedance compared with traditional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — Rated ESR of 20 mΩ at 100 kHz and 20°C, reducing ripple losses and improving transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 390 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.6 A (100 kHz) to support converters and switching loads.
• Long Endurance — 10,000 hours at 105°C life rating; endurance characteristics are specified for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after the endurance test.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating from −55°C to +105°C for use across harsh thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount, Compact Package — φ10 × 10 mm can in a chip-type SMD format with embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliant for regulated and automotive applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Use in automotive control modules and electronic subsystems requiring robust ripple handling and long life under elevated temperatures.
• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on DC–DC converter outputs and low-voltage power rails where low ESR and high ripple capability improve regulation.
• Embedded Power Systems — Energy storage and transient buffering in compact, surface-mount power assemblies with constrained board area.

Unique Advantages

• Low impedance at high frequency: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes losses and improves converter efficiency and transient response.
• High ripple‑current handling: 2.6 A at 100 kHz and 390 mA at 120 Hz supports demanding switching and filtering applications.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 10,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior and long-term stability in hot operating environments.
• AEC‑Q200 rated: Qualifies the part for automotive electronic applications that require documented reliability standards.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 10 mm chip-type can with embossed carrier taping enables automated assembly in space-constrained designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental regulatory requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
