PCF1E470MCL1GS

The PCF1E470MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCF series. It delivers 47 µF at 25 V in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD can, optimized for assemblies that demand low ESR and high ripple handling.

Designed for hardened applications, the device is AEC-Q200 qualified, rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, and specified with a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C—balancing long-term reliability with compact SMD packaging for automated production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 45 mΩ (20°C, 100 kHz), supporting lower loss and improved high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.4 A (100 kHz) for demanding power circuits.
• Leakage & Loss — Leakage current specified at 588 µA and tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable electrical behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• SMD Package & Assembly — φ10 × 10 mm radial can in an SMD form factor with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated placement and reflow processes (lead-free reflow up to 260°C peak correspondence).
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, suitable for demanding, regulated applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range make it suitable for electronic modules used in automotive systems.
• High-Ripple Power Circuits — Low ESR and rated ripple currents support power supplies, DC–DC converters and circuits with significant ripple loads.
• SMD Production Lines — Embossed carrier taping, moisture-proof packing and compatibility with lead-free reflow support high-volume surface-mount assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for better performance: 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces AC losses and improves stability in high-frequency circuits.
