PCG0E472MCL1GS

The PCG0E472MCL1GS is a surface‑mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 4700 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating. Designed as a chip‑type, higher‑capacitance SMD solution, it targets designs that require large low‑voltage bulk capacitance with low ESR and high ripple tolerance.

Key use cases include automotive and other demanding electronics where high capacitance, robust ripple performance, and elevated temperature endurance are required; the part is AEC‑Q200 rated and produced for volume deployment.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) with tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, providing large bulk energy storage in a compact SMD package.
• Rated Voltage — 2.5 V nominal rating suitable for low‑voltage power rails and DC‑link applications.
• Low ESR — 10 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling efficient handling of high AC currents and reducing power loss.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 2.8 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting high‑ripple power stages and decoupling tasks.
• Electrical Losses — tan δ (DF) = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — 2350 µA (specified), useful for power budgeting and standby considerations.
• Reliability & Endurance — 2000 hours life at 105°C with maintained electrical characteristics within published limits after endurance testing.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to cover wide environmental conditions.
• Package & Handling — Radial can SMD (chip type) with dimensions φ10 × 12.7 mm (L: 1.27 cm × D: 1.00 cm) and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Bulk decoupling and DC‑link smoothing on low‑voltage rails where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Output filtering and energy buffering for converters and regulators that need large capacitance with low ESR.
• Embedded Systems — Local energy storage for microcontroller and power management subsystems operating at low voltage and varying temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in an SMD Chip — 4700 µF in a φ10 × 12.7 mm package reduces board area compared with larger discrete alternatives.
• Low ESR for Efficient Power Handling — 10 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers I2R losses and improves thermal performance under ripple conditions.
• Strong Ripple Current Capability — 5.6 A at 100 kHz supports demanding switching supplies and reduces stress on adjacent components.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability — AEC‑Q200 rating plus 2000 h endurance at 105°C provides predictable long‑term behavior in harsh environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — −55°C to +105°C suitability for designs exposed to broad ambient conditions.
• Production‑Ready Packaging — Embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing simplifies high‑volume SMT assembly and storage.
