PCM1D471MCL1GS

The PCM1D471MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 470 µF at 20 V in a compact SMD can. It combines low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability with a polarized design optimized for demanding temperature environments.

Designed for applications that require long-term stability at elevated temperatures, this AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant part supports lead‑free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak and a rated operating range from -55°C to 125°C, with a rated life of 8000 hours at 125°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR — 18 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting improved power-delivery performance and lower losses.
• High Ripple Current — 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.8 A at 100 kHz to handle demanding AC stress in power circuits.
• High-Temperature Reliability — Rated lifetime of 8000 hours at 125°C with ESR maintained within specified limits after endurance and at -40°C per datasheet conditions.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified for operation from -55°C to 125°C for use across wide environmental conditions.
• SMD, Lead-Free Reflow Compatible — Surface-mount radial can construction compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260°C peak.
• Automotive Qualification & RoHS — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Leakage & Endurance — Leakage current limits and endurance characteristics per datasheet (leakage ≤ 0.03CV after 2 minutes; capacitance, tan δ and ESR criteria defined after endurance tests).
• Compact Footprint — Component dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm with recommended PCB land size of 8.3 × 8.3 mm for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Systems — Suitable for automotive electronics where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Supply Filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it well suited for bulk and decoupling roles in DC–DC converters and power rails.
• High-Temperature Electronics — Rated operation to 125°C and an 8000-hour life at that temperature support use in thermal-stressed environments.
• Surface-Mount Assemblies — SMD can package and lead-free reflow compatibility simplify automated assembly for compact board designs.

Unique Advantages

• Reliable High-Temperature Performance: 8000 hours at 125°C provides documented endurance for designs exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
• Power-Handling Efficiency: Low 18 mΩ ESR and high ripple-current ratings reduce loss and heat generation in power delivery networks.
