Overview of PCG0E471MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 470 µF, 2.5 V
The PCG0E471MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor engineered for demanding electronic systems. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm SMD can package.
Designed for applications that require high ripple-handling, low equivalent series resistance and extended endurance, the device is specified for operation from -55 °C to +105 °C and carries AEC-Q200 ratings for automotive use.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 470 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Rated Voltage — 2.5 V DC rating suitable for low-voltage power rails.
- Low Loss / Dissipation — tanδ (DF) 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for predictable AC performance.
- High Ripple Current Capability — 1.45 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.9 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust power conditioning.
- Low ESR — 20 mΩ measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz to support efficient decoupling and reduced thermal rise.
- Leakage Current — 235 µA (after rated voltage applied under specified conditions).
- Temperature & Endurance — Rated for -55 °C to +105 °C with endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage.
- Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rating for use in automotive electronic designs.
- Compact SMD Can Package — φ6.3 × 6 mm package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs) — AEC-Q200 rating and -55 °C to +105 °C temperature range support use in vehicle control modules requiring reliable bulk capacitance.
- Automotive Power Conditioning — High ripple current ratings and low ESR make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage power rails in automotive power systems.
- In-vehicle Electronics — Compact φ6.3 × 6 mm SMD can and embossed carrier taping enable space-efficient placement in infotainment, telematics or sensor interface modules that demand endurance and thermal stability.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-handling capability: 1.45 A (120 Hz) and 2.9 A (100 kHz) ratings reduce the need for parallel components in power filtering designs.
- Low ESR for efficient decoupling: 20 mΩ at 100 kHz helps lower power loss and thermal stress on the capacitor and surrounding circuitry.
- Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C provide predictable long-term performance in demanding environments.
- Compact SMD form factor: φ6.3 × 6 mm package minimizes PCB area while supporting automated placement via embossed carrier taping.
- Wide operating temperature: -55 °C to +105 °C supports applications across harsh thermal conditions.
