GYF1E181MCW1GS

The GYF1E181MCW1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount can (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm). It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long endurance for demanding, high-temperature applications.

Designed for high-reliability environments including automotive systems and battery management, this part delivers 180 µF at 25 V with AEC-Q200 qualification, a wide operating range from −55 °C to 125 °C, and a rated life of 4000 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer hybrid construction — Hybrid electrolyte design for reduced ESR and improved ripple performance compared with traditional electrolytic types.
• Electrical characteristics — 180 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and tanδ 0.14 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, 25 V).
• Low ESR — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20 °C/100 kHz to support low-loss operation at high frequencies.
• High ripple-current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 270 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.8 A (100 kHz) for effective smoothing under dynamic loads.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature — Rated for 4000 hours at 125 °C with specified limits for capacitance change, tanδ, ESR and leakage current after endurance testing.
• Wide temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to 125 °C for use in harsh thermal environments.
• Surface-mount package — Compact radial SMD can (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping for automated placement.
• Leakage current and polarity — Polarized device with leakage current specified at 45 µA.
• Standards and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant per provided product data.

Typical Applications

• Battery Management Systems (BMS) — Designed for BMS use where high ripple-current handling and long life at elevated temperatures are required.
• Automotive power modules — Suited for power filtering and decoupling in automotive control units, leveraging AEC-Q200 qualification and a −55 °C to 125 °C operating range.
• High-temperature electronics — Provides stable capacitance and controlled ESR in systems exposed to extended high-temperature operation (4000 h at 125 °C endurance).

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 1.8 A at 100 kHz and 270 mA at 120 Hz to support boards with significant dynamic current demands.
• Low-loss operation: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes voltage drop and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• Extended high-temperature life: 4000-hour endurance at 125 °C provides predictable aging behavior for long-lived designs.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Enables use in applications requiring recognized component-level reliability standards.
• Compact SMD can: φ6.3 × 7.7 mm form factor and embossed carrier taping support PCB space optimization and automated assembly.
• Measurable performance metrics: Specified tanδ, leakage current, ESR and ripple ratings make it straightforward to validate in system-level designs.
