PCL1C471MCL1GS

The PCL1C471MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic, chip-type surface-mount capacitor designed for high-capacitance, long-life applications. With a 470 µF capacitance and 16 V rated voltage, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact SMD package.

Engineered for automotive environments, this capacitor combines long endurance and wide temperature range with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, offering reliability and performance where robust power filtering and smoothing are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for stable energy storage at board level.
• Low ESR: 16 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient power delivery and reduced losses.
• High Ripple Current: Rated for 4.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.1 A at 120 Hz, suitable for demanding ripple and transient conditions.
• Long Life Endurance: Qualified for 20,000 hours of operation at 105°C, maintaining capacitance, tan δ, ESR and leakage within specified limits after endurance testing.
• Automotive Qualification: AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive electronic systems where component-level qualification is required.
• Wide Temperature Range: Specified operating range from −55°C to +105°C to support varied environmental conditions.
• SMD Package: Chip-type surface-mount construction with a compact footprint (1 × 1 cm) and SMD-compatible land size (1.03 × 1.03 cm).
• Reflow Compatibility & RoHS: SMD lead-free reflow soldering compatible (peak reflow temperature correspondence at 260°C) and RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power management: Bulk decoupling and smoothing on power rails in automotive electronic control units, leveraging low ESR and high ripple-current capability.
• DC–DC converter outputs: Output filtering and transient suppression in compact SMD designs that require high capacitance and reliable endurance at elevated temperatures.
• In-vehicle electronic modules: Power conditioning for modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended life at 105°C are required.

Unique Advantages

• Extended operational lifetime: 20,000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior for mission-critical systems.
• Enhanced thermal stability: Tight temperature impedance characteristics support consistent performance across −55°C to +105°C.
• Reduced power loss: Low ESR (16 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes dissipation and helps improve system efficiency.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequencies allow use in high-demand power stages and filtering roles.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance simplify qualification in automotive bill-of-materials and regulatory workflows.
• Compact SMD form factor: Chip-type package and small footprint enable high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
