PCL0J470MCL1GS

The PCL0J470MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon's PCL series. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a compact surface-mount can package, and is designed for long-life operation under elevated temperature.

Targeted at automotive electronics and other robust power applications, this part offers a 47 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with a rated operating range of -55 °C to 105 °C and a documented endurance of 20,000 hours at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 47 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and high ripple current capability of 1.9 A at 100 kHz (950 mA at 120 Hz) for demanding power conditions.
• Long-Life Endurance: Specified lifetime of 20,000 hours at 105 °C with performance limits (capacitance, tan δ, ESR, leakage) defined after endurance testing.
• Automotive Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualified and explicitly listed for automotive applications.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operation from -55 °C to +105 °C for harsh-environment use.
• Surface-Mount Can Package: Radial, can-style SMD (chip type) with overall dimensions L: 6 × D: 5 mm and recommended land size L: 5.3 × W: 5.3 mm.
• Lead-Free Reflow Compatibility: Designed for lead-free reflow; peak soldering temperature correspondence up to 260 °C (reflow once at ≤260 °C as specified in the series datasheet).
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Engine control modules, body electronics, and other vehicle systems that require components qualified to AEC-Q200 and capable of extended high-temperature operation.
• Power Supply Filtering — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings make the capacitor suitable for power smoothing and decoupling in compact SMD power circuits.
• Embedded Systems — Use where long operational life at elevated temperatures and compact board footprint are required.

Unique Advantages

• Long high-temperature life: 20,000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable longevity for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Robust ripple performance: High ripple current ratings (1.9 A at 100 kHz) combined with 30 mΩ ESR enable reliable handling of dynamic loads.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification supports use in automotive-grade designs requiring industry-recognized stress testing.
• Compact SMD can format: Small 6 × 5 mm footprint and specified land pattern support high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing performance.
• Lead-free assembly compatibility: Reflow profile support up to 260 °C peak simplifies assembly with modern Pb-free processes.
