GYC1C271MCW1GS

The GYC1C271MCW1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s GYC series. It delivers 270 µF at 16 V in a compact φ8 × 10 mm can, combining low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding thermal and vibration environments.

Designed for high-reliability applications, the device supports operation from -55°C to 135°C, offers a 4000-hour endurance at 135°C, and carries AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance—making it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature electronics where sustained performance matters.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance, rated at 16 V with tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR & Loss — ESR of 25 mΩ at 20°C, 100 kHz and tanδ (DF) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, delivering low-loss performance for high-frequency decoupling and filtering.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Handles 255 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.7 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting converter output smoothing and transient loads.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation to 135°C with an endurance specification of 4000 hours at 135°C under rated conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 43.2 µA (after rated voltage application conditions), suitable for power-sensitive circuits.
• Compact SMD Can Package — Radial can, surface-mount package (φ8 × 10 mm) with a recommended land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm; supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and vibration resistant, aligned with automotive and harsh-environment requirements.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Control Units — AEC-Q200 qualification, vibration resistance, and 135°C endurance make it suitable for ECUs and in-vehicle power modules.
• Power Supply Filtering & Decoupling — Low ESR (25 mΩ) and high ripple-current capability (1.7 A at 100 kHz) support DC-DC converter outputs and regulator smoothing in compact power systems.
• High-Temperature Embedded Systems — Wide operating range (-55°C to 135°C) and long life at elevated temperature favor deployment in thermally demanding electronics and industrial controls.

Unique Advantages

• Durable at Elevated Temperatures: 4000-hour endurance at 135°C provides predictable lifetime performance in hot operating environments.
• Effective High-Frequency Performance: Low ESR and specified ESR at 100 kHz enable stable decoupling and lower loss in high-frequency power stages.
• High Ripple Handling: Dual ripple-current specifications (120 Hz and 100 kHz) demonstrate capability across both low- and high-frequency power applications.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and vibration resistance address ruggedness requirements for vehicle electronics.
• Assembly-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier taping and surface-mount can package support automated placement and high-volume production.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies design for regulated markets.
