PCM1C471MCL6GS

The PCM1C471MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in an SMD can package, offering 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for applications that demand low ESR, high ripple-current capability and extended operational life in elevated temperatures.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance density, low equivalent series resistance (17 mΩ at 100 kHz) and long endurance (8,000 hours at 125°C), making it suitable for demanding electronics where reliability and power-handling are priorities.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, rated for 16 V operation.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR of 17 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, low-frequency ripple current of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.4 A (100 kHz) for improved power-supply decoupling and filtering.
• Wide Temperature Range Specified operating range from −55°C to +125°C to support elevated-temperature environments.
• Long Endurance Endurance rating of 8,000 hours at 125°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after endurance testing.
• SMD Can Package Chip-type, surface-mount aluminum can with dimensions φ8 × 10 mm—embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly compatibility.
• Reliability & Qualification High reliability noted in the series documentation and AEC-Q200 qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade stress screening.
• Assembly Compatibility SMD type supports lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature allowance up to 260°C (reflow two times maximum) and defined soldering-heat resistance characteristics.

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems Suitable for automotive electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification, wide temperature range (−55°C to +125°C) and long endurance (8,000 h at 125°C) are required.
• High-temperature electronics Designed for equipment operating at elevated temperatures due to its guaranteed performance and endurance at 125°C.
• Power-supply filtering and bulk decoupling Low ESR (17 mΩ) and substantial ripple-current ratings (1.2 A at 120 Hz / 2.4 A at 100 kHz) make it suitable for smoothing and energy storage on power rails.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance density: 470 µF in a compact φ8 × 10 mm SMD can provides bulk capacitance without large board area impact.
• Low ESR for efficient power handling: 17 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and heat generation under high ripple conditions.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +125°C rating supports designs that must operate across harsh thermal environments.
• Long qualifying life: 8,000 hours at 125°C ensures predictable long-term behavior in continuous high-temperature use.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Conformance to AEC-Q200 provides an added layer of stress-screening relevant to automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Reflow-capable SMD format: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support automated assembly and lead-free reflow processes (peak ≤ 260°C, two passes maximum).
