PCH1E471MCL1GS

The PCH1E471MCL1GS is a surface-mount, conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCH series. It delivers 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact chip-style radial can SMD package.

Designed for high-reliability and high-temperature environments, this part offers low ESR, high ripple current capability and a long endurance specification (4000 hours at 135°C), making it suitable for demanding power electronics and automotive-grade applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C; rated voltage 25 V.
• Low ESR — Rated ESR 15 mΩ at 100 kHz (20°C), supporting improved transient response and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current — Designed for high ripple handling: 1.45 A at 120 Hz and 2.9 A at 100 kHz, enabling robust performance in switching power stages.
• Extended High‑Temperature Endurance — Specified for 4000 hours life at 135°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after endurance.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated for −55°C to +135°C to support high-temperature applications and environments.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• SMD Assembly Ready — Chip-type SMD with lead‑free reflow capability; compatible with peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C per series soldering conditions.
• Package & Footprint — Compact dimensions L 1.27 cm × D 1.00 cm with recommended land size 1.03 cm × 1.03 cm for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance make this capacitor suitable for vehicle power rails, ECU power modules and other in-vehicle power circuits.
• Power supply filtering and bulk energy storage — High capacitance combined with low ESR and elevated ripple current ratings supports DC/DC converters and post-regulation decoupling.
• High-temperature electronics — Rated operation to 135°C and a 4000-hour endurance at that temperature allow deployment in thermal-stressed environments and power-dense assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature longevity: 4000 hours endurance at 135°C provides predictable aging characteristics for designs that must tolerate prolonged heat exposure.
• Low-loss power performance: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and elevated ripple current capability reduce dissipation and support stable converter operation.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification delivers documented reliability expectations for automotive applications.
• SMD-compatible assembly: Chip-style radial can SMD with lead‑free reflow compatibility to 260°C simplifies surface-mount manufacturing and reflow processes.
• Compact footprint: Small L × D dimensions and a defined land pattern support space-constrained PCB layouts while providing bulk capacitance.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance ensures conformance to EU restricted substance requirements.
