PCR1E471MCL1GS

The PCR1E471MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCR series. It is a polarized, surface-mount radial-can capacitor specified at 470 µF and 25 V, designed for applications that demand low ESR, high ripple-handling capability and long high-temperature endurance.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (15 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple current capability, extended life at elevated temperature (4000 hours at 125°C), AEC-Q200 qualification, and lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — Rated at 470 µF with a tolerance of ±20% and a rated voltage of 25 V.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance — ESR specified at 15 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency power circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 2.05 A at 120 Hz and 4.1 A at 100 kHz for effective smoothing and decoupling under heavy AC stress.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Long life rating of 4000 hours at 125°C with an operating temperature range of −55°C to +125°C.
• AEC-Q200 Qualified — Series qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q200 Qualified).
• SMD, Lead-Free Reflow Compatible — Surface-mount radial-can package compatible with lead-free reflow up to a 260°C peak; preheat and reflow conditions per datasheet.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Compact Package — Body dimensions L: 1.27 cm × D: 1.00 cm with recommended land size 1.03 × 1.03 cm for PCB footprint planning.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification, extended 125°C life and −55°C to +125°C operating range make this part suitable for automotive control modules and power electronics.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings suit DC‑DC converters and point-of-load decoupling where fast transient response and heat resilience are required.
• Industrial Power Modules — Long high-temperature endurance and robust ESR performance after endurance support use in industrial power and control equipment exposed to elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low loss at high frequency: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves efficiency in switching power applications.
• High ripple handling: Rated for 4.1 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective suppression of switching ripple in compact power stages.
• Extended high-temperature life: 4000 hours at 125°C provides predictable longevity for designs deployed in hot environments.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification signals suitability for designs requiring automotive-level component qualification.
• Reflow-ready SMD format: Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C simplifies assembly into modern surface-mount production flows.
• Compact footprint: Small radial-can SMD dimensions and defined land pattern enable space-efficient board layouts.
