PCR1D471MCL1GS

The PCR1D471MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor in Nichicon's PCR series, designed for high-reliability power applications. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact surface-mount can package, with performance targeted for demanding environments including automotive electronics.

Key value propositions include long-term stability at elevated temperatures (4000 hours at 125°C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and RoHS compliance, plus compatibility with lead-free reflow soldering (260°C peak) for modern assembly processes.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 20 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in power rails.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 18 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rating of 3.5 A at 100 kHz (1.75 A at 120 Hz), supporting efficient power delivery and reduced loss.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Qualified for 4000 hours at 125°C, providing long life and stable electrical characteristics under elevated operating temperatures.
• Temperature Range — Operates from −55°C to +125°C, supporting wide-ranging thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount Can Package — Chip-type radial can SMD package (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) with recommended land pattern L: 8.3 × W: 8.3 mm for compact PCB designs.
• Assembly Compatibility — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; peak solder temperature up to 260°C is supported per the PCR series soldering profile.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, reflecting suitability for regulated and reliability-focused applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Designed for automotive systems that require high reliability and thermal endurance, leveraging AEC-Q200 qualification and 4000-hour life at 125°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current handling: 3.5 A at 100 kHz and 1.75 A at 120 Hz reduce thermal stress and improve power-stage stability in filtering and decoupling roles.
• Very low ESR: 18 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves transient response for power conversion and voltage-regulation circuits.
• Long high-temperature lifetime: 4000 hours at 125°C supports extended service life in thermally demanding installations.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides traceable qualification for use in automotive ECUs and related modules.
• SMD-compatible, lead-free assembly: Reflow-capable to 260°C peak for modern surface-mount production without additional process constraints.
• Compact package footprint: Small can-style SMD with a defined land pattern (8.3 × 8.3 mm) for space-constrained board designs.
