GYC1E151MCW1GS

The GYC1E151MCW1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-handling capability in a compact φ8×10L footprint, and is designed for high-reliability applications requiring extended operation at elevated temperatures.

Built to the GYC series specification and AEC-Q200 rating, this part targets demanding environments where long endurance, low loss, and stable performance from −55°C to 135°C are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low Loss / Low ESR: tanδ 0.14 (20°C, 120 Hz) and ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, providing low power dissipation under AC and switching conditions.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 240 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A (100 kHz) to support power conversion and decoupling duties.
• High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −55°C to 135°C with a specified life/endurance of 4000 hours at elevated temperature.
• Leakage & Reliability: Specified leakage current 37.5 µA and designed for long-term stability with endurance and damp-heat characteristics defined in the series datasheet.
• Package & Assembly: Surface-mount radial can, size φ8×10L (L: 1 × D: 0.8 cm), supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated placement; status: mass production.
• Standards & Compliance: AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating plus −55°C to 135°C operating range make it suitable for automotive electronic modules that require high-temperature endurance and reliability.
• High-Temperature Power Assemblies — 4000 h life at 135°C and high ripple current capability support power stages and modules exposed to elevated component temperatures.
• Surface-Mount Power Decoupling — Compact φ8×10L SMD can with low ESR and strong HF ripple performance for decoupling near DC–DC converters and switching regulators.

Unique Advantages

• Validated for Elevated Temperatures: Endurance rating of 4000 hours at high temperature supports designs with sustained thermal stress.
• High AC Performance: Combined low ESR (27 mΩ @100 kHz) and high HF ripple current (1.6 A) reduce losses in switching environments and improve voltage stability.
• Compact Surface-Mount Form Factor: φ8×10L package in embossed carrier taping eases automated assembly while keeping board space usage low.
• AEC-Q200 Qualification: Series-level AEC-Q200 rating supports use in applications requiring automotive-grade component specification.
• Measured Loss Characteristic: tanδ of 0.14 at 20°C / 120 Hz provides a clear characterization of dielectric loss for system-level thermal planning.
