GYF1C102MCW1GS

The GYF1C102MCW1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s GYF series. It delivers high capacitance (1,000 µF) in a compact φ10 × 10 mm can SMD package and is optimized for power-dense environments.

Designed for applications requiring high ripple handling, low equivalent series resistance and long-term reliability, this part targets automotive and industrial power systems where sustained performance at elevated temperature is required.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Construction — Conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic design for a balance of high capacitance and improved ESR compared with traditional electrolytics.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1,000 µF nominal with tolerance of −20% to +20% (±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC operating voltage.
• Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20°C, enabling efficient decoupling and reduced I^2R losses at high frequency.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 420 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.8 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), suitable for switching power and BMS ripple suppression.
• Long Endurance — 4,000 hours rated life at 125°C under specified test conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +125°C to support harsh thermal environments.
• Loss Angle — tanδ (DF) max 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, 16 V.
• Leakage Current — 160 µA nominal leakage current.
• Mounting & Packaging — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 10L) with embossed carrier taping for automated placement; part is in mass production.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, aligning with automotive and regulated-industry requirements.

Typical Applications

• Battery Management Systems (BMS) — Provides high ripple current handling and low ESR for smoothing and local decoupling in battery monitoring and balancing circuits.
• DC–DC Converters and Power Rails — Acts as bulk and high-frequency decoupling to stabilize switching converters and reduce voltage ripple under load transients.
• Automotive Electronics — Suited for automotive power modules and control units that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and reliable operation up to 125°C.
• Industrial Power Modules — Supports high-temperature, high-reliability power designs in industrial control and instrumentation systems.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling — 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 420 mA at 120 Hz enable use in demanding switching environments and reduce the need for parallel components.
• Low ESR — 20 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves transient response on power rails.
• Extended high-temperature life — Rated 4,000 hours at 125°C for sustained reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification supports integration into automotive electronic systems where component-level qualification is required.
• Compact SMD can — φ10 × 10 mm package saves board area while delivering high capacitance for space-constrained power designs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction facilitates use in regulated markets.
