Overview of GYC1H121MCW1GS – Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 120 µF / 50 V
The GYC1H121MCW1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic chip capacitor designed for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It combines low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability in a compact surface-mount can package.
Targeted at demanding electronics markets including automotive, this AEC-Q200 qualified part is specified for continuous operation from −55 °C to 135 °C and long endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable where sustained performance under thermal stress is required.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic construction delivering stability, low ESR and high ripple-current handling.
- Capacitance & Voltage 120 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- High Temperature Endurance Rated for operation from −55 °C to 135 °C with a rated lifetime of 4000 hours at 135 °C for the specified conditions.
- Low ESR & Ripple Capacity ESR of 28 mΩ at 100 kHz (20 °C) and ripple-current ratings of 1.6 A at 100 kHz and 240 mA at 120 Hz support high-frequency decoupling and power-stage filtering.
- Package & Mounting Surface-mount radial/can SMD package with compact dimensions (L: 1 × D: 1 cm) and a recommended land size of 1.03 × 1.03 cm for PCB placement.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for use in regulated environments and automotive electronic assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Power decoupling and filtering in modules that require AEC-Q200 qualification and reliable performance at temperatures up to 135 °C.
- High-temperature power electronics — Bulk and local energy storage where sustained ripple handling and low ESR are required under thermal stress.
- Surface-mount power module designs — Compact SMD can package suited to space-constrained boards needing robust decoupling and long-term endurance.
Unique Advantages
- High-temperature endurance: 4000 hours rated life at 135 °C provides documented longevity for designs exposed to elevated ambient or operating temperatures.
- Low ESR at high frequency: 28 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz supports efficient high-frequency filtering and reduces heat generation in power stages.
- Strong ripple handling: 1.6 A ripple current at 100 kHz enables use in high-frequency converters and switching regulators.
- Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification aligns the component with automotive electronics design and manufacturing requirements.
- Compact SMD can package: Small 1 cm × 1 cm footprint helps reduce BOM size while maintaining electrolytic capacitance values.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant per 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 for restricted substances.
