PCF1A471MCL9GS

The PCF1A471MCL9GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 10 V rating. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD can package for space-constrained board designs.

Designed for demanding environments, the device delivers a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C), a 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C, and AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability applications where long-term stability and robust power handling are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR of 12 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and 20 °C for improved high-frequency performance and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 2.65 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 5.3 A at 100 kHz to support demanding power rail conditions.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Specified leakage current of 940 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz for predictable DC bias and dissipation behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55 °C to +105 °C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (SMD) in a compact φ10 × 12.7 mm body; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Assembly Compatibility — Lead-free reflow soldering condition supported up to a 260 °C peak per series specification for standard SMD assembly processes.
• Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for use in regulated and automotive-grade designs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suited for vehicle electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range, and long endurance are required.
• Power-Rail Filtering — Bulk and decoupling capacitance for 10 V power rails, leveraging low ESR and high ripple-current capability to stabilize supply voltages.
• High-Frequency Power Systems — Supports high-frequency decoupling and smoothing due to low ESR at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: Enables robust handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple (2.65 A at 120 Hz, 5.3 A at 100 kHz), reducing the risk of thermal stress on the capacitor under heavy load.
• Low ESR at 100 kHz: 12 mΩ ESR minimizes loss and voltage drop at switching frequencies, improving regulator stability and efficiency.
• Qualified for automotive use: AEC-Q200 qualification and a −55 °C to +105 °C operating range support deployment in temperature-critical automotive environments.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: 2000-hour rated life at 105 °C provides predictable long-term performance for high-reliability systems.
• Surface-mount convenience: Compact φ10 × 12.7 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping simplify automated assembly and inventory handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in designs targeting regulatory compliance without additional component-level constraints.
