PCJ1A471MCL1GS

The PCJ1A471MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PCJ series. It delivers high capacitance (470 µF) and low ESR in a compact SMD can (φ10 × 8 mm), targeting designs that require robust power filtering in elevated-temperature environments.

Designed for automotive applications and other demanding electronics, this AEC-Q200 qualified device provides high ripple current capability and a 2000-hour rated life at 105°C, offering measurable reliability for temperature- and vibration-exposed assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 470 µF rated at 10 V — provides substantial bulk capacitance in a small SMD package for power smoothing and energy buffering.
• Low ESR / High-frequency performance: ESR of 19 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) and tanδ of 0.12 measured at 120 Hz, 20°C (at 10 V) — supports efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduces losses.
• High ripple current capability: 1.9 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.8 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) — tolerates ripple and transient currents in switching power stages.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated for -55°C to +105°C with a defined endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C — suitable for elevated-temperature operation with defined life performance.
• Leakage current: Typical specified leakage current of 940 µA (after rated voltage conditions) — specified for predictable bias behavior in power designs.
• SMD package and assembly: Chip-type radial can SMD (φ10 × 8 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence up to 260°C as specified in the PCJ series documentation).
• Qualification and compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant — aligns with industry qualification and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suited for automotive electrical systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple handling are required.
• Power-supply filtering in high-temperature assemblies: Provides stable bulk capacitance and low ESR across -55°C to +105°C operating range.
• Surface-mount PCB power modules: Compact φ10 × 8 mm SMD package for tight layouts needing high capacitance and reliable end-of-life characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved power stability: 19 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop and heating under high-frequency switching conditions.
• High ripple tolerance: 3.8 A at 100 kHz and 1.9 A at 120 Hz allow the capacitor to handle significant ripple and transient currents without performance degradation.
• Engineered for elevated temperatures: 2000 hours life at 105°C delivers predictable performance and longevity in thermal-stressed designs.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ10 × 8 mm packaging balances high capacitance with a small PCB footprint for space-constrained applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification provides traceable suitability for automotive electronics projects.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to support environmentally regulated product development.
