PCF1D470MCL1GS

The PCF1D470MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount radial can package from Nichicon. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple‑current capability in a compact SMD form factor designed for demanding thermal and electrical environments.

Targeted for automotive applications, the device combines a 47 µF capacitance at 20 V with AEC‑Q200 qualification, a wide operating temperature range and long load life to support robust power‑rail filtering and decoupling in systems that require sustained performance at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Electrical performance: 47 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 20 V rated voltage suitable for common low‑voltage power rails.
• Low ESR: ESR specified at 45 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling improved ripple suppression and efficient energy transfer.
• High ripple current: Rated ripple currents of 1 A at 120 Hz and 2 A at 100 kHz support high‑frequency and low‑frequency ripple handling.
• Robust thermal endurance: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C for long‑term stability under heat stress.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Qualified to AEC‑Q200 standards for automotive component reliability and suitability in vehicle electronic designs.
• SMD package & solder compatibility: Surface‑mount radial can (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm; compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak per product specification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863), supporting restricted‑substance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems: Use in power rails of automotive control modules where low ESR and high ripple capability improve voltage stability under dynamic load.
• Power supply filtering: Local decoupling and smoothing on DC‑DC converters and regulator outputs that operate in elevated temperatures.
• High‑frequency switching environments: Bulk or post‑filtering for switching circuits that benefit from the capacitor’s 100 kHz performance and 2 A ripple rating.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved transient response: The 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and supports fast load transients.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow use in mixed‑frequency power systems without premature stress.
• Long thermal life: 2000 hours load life at 105°C delivers predictable aging and reliability in hot operating environments.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Provides a verified qualification pathway for automotive system integration and reliability assessments.
• SMD form factor with reflow compatibility: Compact L:7 × D:8 mm can package and 260°C peak reflow compatibility streamline automated assembly in modern manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports use in products subject to restricted‑substance regulations.
