PCV1H470MCL7GS

The PCV1H470MCL7GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PCV series. This SMD, radial-can style capacitor delivers 47 µF at a 50 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability.

Engineered for demanding environments, the part offers a wide operating temperature range, long load life at elevated temperature, lead‑free reflow compatibility and AEC‑Q200 qualification for automotive use.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 47 µF rated at 50 V, with capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR / High-frequency performance: ESR of 29 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), supporting high-frequency ripple performance.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple current of 1.65 A at 120 Hz and 3.3 A at 100 kHz to handle power conversion and decoupling demands.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C and load life of 3000 hours at 105°C.
• Reliability & Qualifications: AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• SMD package & soldering: Radial, can – SMD package designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with peak temperature correspondence up to 260°C.
• Compact footprint: Case size approximately L 1.0 × D 0.8 cm with recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 qualification makes this capacitor suitable for automotive circuits that require low ESR and high ripple-current handling.
• High-frequency power conversion — Low ESR at 100 kHz and specified ripple current values support filtering and decoupling in high-frequency converters and regulators.
• High-temperature / long-life designs — Rated for operation to 105°C with a 3000-hour load life at 105°C for applications requiring extended endurance at elevated temperatures.
• Surface-mount production — Designed for lead‑free reflow soldering (260°C peak correspondence) to integrate into modern SMT assembly flows.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR at high frequency: 29 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces power loss and improves stability in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.65 A (120 Hz) and 3.3 A (100 kHz) enable reliable smoothing under dynamic load conditions.
• Long elevated-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• AEC‑Q200 qualified: Supports automotive-grade design requirements where industry qualification is required.
• RoHS compliant and lead‑free reflow compatible: Meets environmental directives and is compatible with lead‑free SMT assembly up to 260°C peak.
• Compact SMD can package: Small 1.0 × 0.8 cm footprint with defined land pattern simplifies board layout for space-constrained designs.
