GYC1J100MCQ1GS

The GYC1J100MCQ1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s GYC series. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a compact surface-mount can package, designed for demanding high-temperature and reliability-focused applications.

Key attributes include a 10 µF capacitance at 63 V, an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 135 °C, AEC‑Q200 qualification, RoHS compliance, and a rated lifetime at elevated temperature of 2000 hours at 135 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 63 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for decoupling and smoothing duties in power rails.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55 °C to 135 °C and specified for 2000 hours at 135 °C, supporting designs that require sustained performance in hot environments.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Capability — ESR of 120 mΩ at 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 700 mA at 100 kHz and 105 mA at 120 Hz, enabling effective high-frequency decoupling and power filtering.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), providing assurance for automotive and high-reliability applications.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package — Radial can SMD package with overall dimensions L: 5.8 × D: 6.3 mm and recommended land size of 6.6 × 6.6 mm for space‑constrained board layouts.
• Leakage & Endurance Characteristics — Leakage current specification after 2 minutes is not more than 0.01CV (µA) at 20 °C, and endurance limits tie back to series datasheet criteria for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after high-temperature stress.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Suitable for DC‑DC converter decoupling, power-rail smoothing and other automotive modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and 135 °C operation are required.
• High‑temperature industrial electronics — Use in control modules and power management circuits exposed to elevated ambient temperatures, taking advantage of the 2000‑hour rating at 135 °C.
• High‑frequency power filtering — Effective for switching regulator output filtering and EMI suppression thanks to low ESR (120 mΩ at 100 kHz) and strong high‑frequency ripple capability.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for elevated temperatures — Rated to 135 °C with a specified life at that temperature, enabling reliable deployment where thermal margins are limited.
• Low ESR for improved transient response — The 120 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves regulator stability in switching applications.
• High ripple current handling — 700 mA at 100 kHz supports demanding switching environments and reduces the need for parallel components.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified — Qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs requiring proven reliability standards.
• Compact SMD can package — Small footprint (5.8 × 6.3 mm) and surface-mount construction simplify board layout in space-constrained designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets current RoHS directives for environmental and regulatory requirements.
