PCR1C471MCL1GS

The PCR1C471MCL1GS is a chip-type conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability applications. Its chip SMD package, polarized construction and conductive polymer electrolyte deliver low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Targeted use cases include automotive and other electronics that require sustained operation across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C). The part combines a 470 µF capacitance at 16 V with long high-temperature endurance and industry-recognized qualifications for robust field performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & rated voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance, rated at 16 V with a tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Conductive polymer solid electrolyte — Solid polymer chemistry for high reliability and stable electrical performance.
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 32 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20 °C, supporting efficient power handling and reduced loss.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple currents of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz to support demanding AC and switching environments.
• Long high-temperature life — Endurance rated for 4000 hours at 125 °C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and controlled ESR/leakage behavior after test.
• AEC-Q200 qualified — Qualification per AEC-Q200 for use in designs that require that industry recognition.
• Wide operating temperature — Specified for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C, with controlled impedance and performance across the range.
• SMD, reflow-capable package — Chip-type radial can SMD package with lead‑free reflow compatibility (peak temperature up to 260 °C under the specified profile); package dimensions L: 0.8 cm × D: 1.0 cm and recommended land size 1.03 cm × 1.03 cm.
• Leakage and reliability limits — Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03CV after 2 minutes' application of rated voltage; series-level endurance and damp-heat conditions defined in the PCR datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for electronic control modules and other on-board systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power-supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings make the part appropriate for smoothing and ripple suppression on DC rails and switching supplies.
• High-temperature industrial electronics — Designed for use in equipment that operates across −55 °C to +125 °C and requires stable capacitance and controlled ESR over time.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for sustained high-temperature operation — 4000 hours at 125 °C endurance rating provides a predictable lifetime metric for thermal-stressed designs.
• Low-loss, high-ripple handling — 32 mΩ ESR (100 kHz) and up to 2.2 A ripple current at 100 kHz reduce heating and support higher switching frequencies.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating supports inclusion in qualified automotive electronic designs.
• RoHS-compliant, lead-free reflow compatible — Meets RoHS requirements and is qualified for lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C as specified for the series.
• Compact SMD footprint — Chip-type radial can package and defined land pattern (1.03 cm × 1.03 cm) simplify PCB layout and assembly.
• Stable performance across temperature extremes — Specified impedance and electrical behavior from −55 °C to +125 °C for reliable operation in mixed-environment systems.
