PCW0J471MCO1GS

The PCW0J471MCO1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon's PCW series. It is a surface-mount, polarized capacitor specified for 470 µF at 6.3 V with low ESR and high ripple current capability.

Designed for applications requiring elevated temperature endurance and reliable ripple performance, this part targets automotive and other high-reliability electronic modules that benefit from low loss decoupling and sustained operation up to 125°C.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance and a low ESR of 15 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting stable filtering and energy storage in high-ripple environments.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 2.2 A at 100 kHz enable the capacitor to handle significant AC stress in power circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C with a ripple load life of 2000 hours at 125°C, providing predictable performance in elevated-temperature conditions.
• Reliability & Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified and designed for high reliability; endurance and damp‑heat specifications are defined in the PCW series datasheet.
• Surface-Mount, Reflow Compatible — SMD chip package with reflow soldering compatibility up to a 260°C peak (lead‑free), and recommended preheat and peak-time profiles in the datasheet for soldering reliability.
• Compact Mechanical Footprint — Package dimensions L: 7 × D: 8 mm, height seated max 7 mm, and recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm for space-constrained board layouts.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive systems — AEC‑Q200 qualification and an operating range of −55°C to +125°C make this capacitor suitable for automotive electronic modules that require sustained performance at elevated temperatures.
• High-ripple power circuits — Low ESR (15 mΩ at 100 kHz) combined with 2.2 A ripple handling at 100 kHz supports use where repeated ripple stress is present.
• Communication equipment — The PCW series’ focus on high temperature and ripple performance aligns with communication modules that demand thermal stability and reliable filtering.
• Boards requiring SMD can solutions — Compact chip-style can package fits surface-mount assembly flows and reflow soldering processes up to the specified peak profile.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: Rated ripple load life of 2000 hours at 125°C provides defined long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low ESR, high ripple capacity: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified ripple current ratings reduce power loss and support tighter voltage regulation under AC stress.
• AEC‑Q200 qualification: Qualification for AEC‑Q200 signals suitability for demanding, reliability-focused designs commonly found in automotive and industrial markets.
• Reflow-friendly SMD design: Lead-free reflow compatibility to a 260°C peak allows integration into standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Compact footprint: Small L: 7 × D: 8 mm package with a shallow profile supports space-constrained PCB designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity helps meet environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic assemblies.
