PCF0J471MCL4GS

The PCF0J471MCL4GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in an SMD can package designed for applications where low ESR and high ripple handling are required. It is AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for demanding automotive electronics and other high-reliability systems.

With a rated capacitance of 470 µF at 6.3 V, a -55 °C to 105 °C operating range, and a 2000-hour load life at 105 °C, this part delivers stable electrical performance in high-temperature, high-ripple environments while supporting standard lead‑free reflow assembly processes.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized design for power decoupling and energy storage.
• Low ESR & High Ripple — ESR of 12 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current capability of 5.3 A at 100 kHz (2.65 A at 120 Hz) to handle high AC stress with lower losses.
• Thermal & Lifetime — Rated for operation from -55 °C to 105 °C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) with compact dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead-free reflow (260 °C peak, single reflow at ≤260 °C as specified).
• Leakage and Stability — Designed to meet endurance and damp-heat performance criteria defined in the product family specifications for capacitance retention, tan δ and ESR after stress tests.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for power modules and control units where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple tolerance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Used for bulk smoothing and decoupling in DC–DC converters and on-board power rails benefiting from low ESR and high ripple current capability.
• High-Ripple Power Systems — Appropriate for subsystems exposed to significant AC stress or switching noise due to its high ripple current rating and low losses.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 5.3 A at 100 kHz and 2.65 A at 120 Hz enables reliable operation in high-stress power environments, reducing thermal build-up from AC currents.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 12 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power loss and voltage drop under load, supporting tighter regulation and lower heat generation.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides documented reliability for automotive system integration and lifecycle planning.
• Robust high-temperature lifetime: 2000 hours at 105 °C assures long-term stability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Surface-mount can for compact designs: Small footprint (1.2 × 0.8 cm) and standard land pattern simplify board layout for space-constrained assemblies.
• Lead-free reflow compatible: Supports peak reflow at 260 °C, enabling modern RoHS-compliant assembly processes.
