PCJ0J471MCL1GS

The PCJ0J471MCL1GS from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package designed for applications requiring low ESR, high capacitance and elevated ripple-current handling. This chip-type capacitor is optimized for compact surface-mount assemblies and is suitable for automotive applications where long-term endurance at elevated temperature is required.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (13 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple-current capability, and a load life rating of 2000 hours at 105°C—providing stable performance in demanding temperature and power environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 6.3 V for bulk filtering and energy storage in compact SMD form.
• Low ESR — 13 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, reducing losses and improving power transfer in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple-current performance of 1.975 A at 120 Hz and 3.95 A at 100 kHz to support switching regulators and high-density power stages.
• Extended High-Temperature Life — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C, ensuring endurance under elevated operating temperatures.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +105°C to cover a wide range of environmental conditions.
• SMD, Lead-Free Reflow Compatible — Surface-mount radial can package designed for lead-free reflow with peak soldering temperature correspondence up to 260°C.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified & RoHS Compliant — AEC-Q200 rating and compliance with RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulated environments and automotive design considerations.
• Compact Package — 8 mm × 8 mm case size with recommended land pattern 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power systems — Bulk decoupling and energy buffering in vehicle electronic modules where low ESR and high ripple capability are required.
• ECU power rails — Local energy storage and smoothing on control unit power supplies exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Power conversion modules — Support for DC-DC converters and regulator outputs that demand high ripple current handling in a small SMD footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss power delivery: The 13 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes I²R losses and improves regulator stability and efficiency.
• High ripple resilience: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies let designers reliably use this capacitor on switching nodes and high-current rails.
• Durable at temperature: 2000-hour load life at 105°C supports sustained performance in hot operating environments common in automotive and industrial systems.
• Assembly-ready SMD format: Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C simplifies integration into modern surface-mount manufacturing flows.
• Industry qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance help meet regulatory and automotive program requirements.
• Space-efficient design: 8 mm × 8 mm package size provides high capacitance density for compact board layouts.
