GYE1C121MCQ1GS

The GYE1C121MCQ1GS is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can package. It delivers 120 µF capacitance at 16 V with a combination of low ESR and high ripple-current capability tailored for designs that require reliable performance at elevated temperatures.

Engineered for high-temperature, high-reliability environments, this AEC-Q200 rated capacitor targets automotive and other systems that demand long life at up to 125°C while maintaining low impedance and stable leakage characteristics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of ±20%.
• Conductive Polymer Hybrid Construction — Combines low ESR with solid electrolyte stability for improved ripple handling and high-frequency performance.
• Low ESR — 50 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current — 165 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.1 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for demanding power-rail filtering applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 19.2 µA for stable bias behavior.
• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance — 4000 hours life at 125°C under rated conditions for long-term reliability in hot environments.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +125°C to cover broad thermal environments.
• Packaging & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can (φ6.3 × 5.8 mm) with embossed carrier taping, optimized for mass-production pick-and-place processes; recommended land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm.
• Industry Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — For power-rail decoupling and filtering where AEC-Q200 qualification, 125°C endurance, and high ripple-current capability are required.
• High-temperature embedded systems — Suitable for modules and assemblies that operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 125°C.
• High-frequency decoupling — Low ESR and 1.1 A ripple capability at 100 kHz make it well-suited for high-frequency DC–DC converter output smoothing.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature longevity: 4000 hours endurance at 125°C provides measurable lifetime when used in hot environments, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.
• Low impedance at high frequency: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple rating enable effective suppression of high-frequency noise on power rails.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Designed for sectors requiring component-level reliability verification for harsh operating conditions.
• Compact SMD can package: φ6.3 × 5.8 mm footprint and embossed carrier taping support automated assembly without sacrificing capacitance density.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for environmental requirements in modern assemblies.
