PCM1E471MCL1GS

The PCM1E471MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor optimized for high-reliability, high-temperature applications. It delivers low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current in a compact SMD can package.

Designed for demanding environments, this 470 µF, 25 V polarized capacitor supports a broad operating temperature range and long-term endurance, making it suitable for automotive and other high‑temperature electronics where stability and lifecycle are essential.

Key Features

• Core Construction  Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design for stable performance and reduced ESR.
• Capacitance & Voltage  470 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR  15 mΩ equivalent series resistance specified at 100 kHz, 20°C, supporting efficient power filtering at high frequencies.
• High Ripple Current  3.5 A at 100 kHz and 1.75 A at 120 Hz to handle substantial AC stress in power circuits.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life  Rated life of 8000 hours at 125°C, with endurance specifications maintained after the life test.
• Wide Temperature Range  Operational from −55°C to +125°C, suitable for harsh thermal environments.
• SMD and Reflow Compatibility  Surface-mount can package with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions compatible up to 260°C peak.
• Automotive Qualification  AEC‑Q200 qualified, supporting use in applications requiring that industry standard.
• Compact Package  Small footprint chip-style SMD can: L 1.27 cm × D 1.00 cm; recommended land pattern L 1.03 cm × W 1.03 cm.
• Reliability After Stress  ESR is specified to remain within defined limits even after endurance and low-temperature conditions (ESR after endurance at −40°C).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics  Suitable for automotive systems that require AEC‑Q200 qualification and long life at elevated temperatures.
• Power supply filtering  Low ESR (15 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current (3.5 A at 100 kHz) support bulk smoothing and decoupling in power rails.
• High‑temperature electronics  Rated for operation up to 125°C with 8000 hours of life at that temperature, addressing thermal stress in industrial and vehicular environments.
• Space‑constrained SMD designs  Chip-style SMD can with a compact footprint for applications where board area and height are limited.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Low ESR and specified ripple current ratings reduce heating and improve stability in high-frequency power circuits.
• Long-term high-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime performance for thermally demanding applications.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require automotive-grade component reliability.
• Reflow-ready SMD can: Compatible with lead‑free reflow processes up to 260°C peak for modern surface-mount assembly flows.
• Measured low-temperature ESR performance: ESR specified after endurance at −40°C ensures capacitor behavior is defined across the temperature extremes.
