PCV1H470MCL1GS

The PCV1H470MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s PCV series. It provides 47 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating in a compact chip-style, radial-can SMD package designed for board-level power applications.

Engineered for low ESR and high ripple handling, this part targets applications that require stable performance across -55 °C to +105 °C, long life under elevated temperature, and industry-grade reliability with AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Electrical performance — 47 µF capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance. Low equivalent series resistance of 30 mΩ measured at 100 kHz helps minimize power loss and voltage drop under dynamic loads.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz supports demanding power supply and decoupling duties.
• Thermal and endurance — Operating temperature range from -55 °C to +105 °C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 105 °C; endurance specifications include capacitance retention within ±20% and ESR within 150% of initial value after life test.
• Package and assembly — Chip-type, surface-mount radial-can construction with footprint recommendations (land size L 1.03 × W 1.03 cm) and a compact part footprint (L 1 × D 1 cm). Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak per series soldering guidance.
• Quality and compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring robust component-level reliability and RoHS compliant to EU directives.
• Polarized SMD solution — Polarized design for DC power rails and energy storage on compact PCBs.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance make this capacitor suitable for in-vehicle power filtering and local decoupling on electronic control modules.
• DC‑DC converters — Low ESR and high ripple current capability support output filtering and bulk decoupling in converter stages.
• Power management modules — Compact SMD form factor and high ripple tolerance are useful for power distribution boards and PMIC outputs.
• Industrial electronics — Long life at elevated temperature and wide operating range help maintain stability in harsh environments and continuous-operation systems.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in switching power applications.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 1.1 A (120 Hz) and 2.2 A (100 kHz) enable reliable smoothing under high-frequency and high-current conditions.
• Proven high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C demonstrates stability for designs with sustained elevated operating temperatures.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status supports selection for automotive and similarly demanding electronic systems.
• Assembly-ready SMD package: Chip-type radial-can construction and compatibility with 260 °C lead-free reflow simplify PCB integration in modern manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and automotive products.
