GYC1E221MCW1GS

The GYC1E221MCW1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s GYC series. It provides 220 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low ESR and high ripple current capability, targeted for designs requiring high-temperature endurance and reliability.

Built for demanding environments, this AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor offers a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 135°C and a rated endurance of 4000 hours at 135°C, packaged in an SMD radial can (φ8 × 10L) with embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Dielectric — Hybrid construction for improved reliability and low loss as indicated by a tan δ of 0.14 (120 Hz, 20°C) at the 25 V rating.
• Low ESR — ESR of 27 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C, enabling efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Handles 240 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), suitable for power rail smoothing and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 55 µA.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — Rated endurance of 4000 hours at 135°C under DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +135°C, suitable for harsh thermal environments.
• Package & Mounting — SMD radial can (φ8 × 10L) with embossed carrier taping; vibration resistant for robust assembly and handling.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Designed for automotive systems that require AEC-Q200 qualification and long-life operation at elevated temperatures.
• Power Conditioning — Suited to DC/DC converters and power rails where low ESR and high ripple current capability improve transient response and filtering.
• Embedded Systems in Harsh Environments — Useful where extended high-temperature endurance (4000 h at 135°C) and wide operating temperature range are required.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours rated life at 135°C provides predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature designs.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 27 mΩ (100 kHz) reduces losses and heat generation in high-frequency power applications.
• Strong ripple handling: 1.6 A at 100 kHz and 240 mA at 120 Hz allow use across a wide range of switching and line-frequency conditions.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Meets automotive-grade reliability requirements for qualifying designs into vehicle systems.
• SMD radial can with taped packaging: φ8 × 10L SMD can and embossed carrier taping support automated pick-and-place and reliable assembly.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +135°C supports deployment in thermally challenging environments.
