PCF0J471MCL6GS

The PCF0J471MCL6GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCF series. It delivers 470 µF at 6.3 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding electronics.

Designed and qualified for automotive use (AEC-Q200) and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing, this part targets systems that require robust ripple handling, wide temperature operation, and long endurance up to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 18 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 2.15 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 4.30 A (100 kHz) to handle demanding AC stress.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 592 µA after standard conditioning.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range -55 °C to +105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Automotive Grade & Reliability — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated environments.
• Surface-Mount Package — Radial can SMD package, size φ10 × 8L, supplied in embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for SMT assembly.
• Reflow Compatibility — SMD type designed for lead-free reflow; peak soldering conditions and profiles are provided in the series datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for electronic control modules and other automotive systems where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range, and endurance at 105 °C are required.
• Power Conversion — Used in DC–DC converters and power modules that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capability for stable voltage regulation.
• High-Frequency Decoupling — Effective for high-frequency decoupling near power rails due to 18 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 4.30 A HF ripple rating.

Unique Advantages

• Strong ripple handling: High-frequency ripple current of 4.30 A (100 kHz) and low-frequency ripple of 2.15 A (120 Hz) allow the capacitor to absorb AC stress in demanding power circuits.
• Low-loss performance: 18 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in high-speed switching environments.
• Automotive-ready reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification combined with a 2000 hour life at 105 °C supports deployment in temperature-critical vehicle electronics.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 8L can-style SMD package and embossed carrier taping enable automated placement and space-efficient PCB designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in regulated manufacturing environments.
