PCX1C470MCL1GS

The PCX1C470MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic surface-mount capacitor in the Nichicon PCX series. It delivers 47 µF capacitance at 16 V with low ESR and rated ripple current characteristics targeted for compact, high-temperature applications.

Designed for demanding environments, this SMD chip capacitor combines low equivalent series resistance, high ripple-current capability, and extended endurance (1500 hours at 125°C), making it suitable for automotive and other high-reliability electronic systems.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Core — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable electrical performance.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 47 µF with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage Rating — Rated at 16 V DC.
• Low ESR — 55 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, 20°C to support efficient power delivery.
• Ripple Current Capability — 195 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 390 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust handling of AC and switching currents.
• Endurance & Temperature — 1500 hours life at 125°C; operating temperature range −55°C to +125°C.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ6.3 × 6L), supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly readiness.
• Soldering Compatibility — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions described for the PCX series (reflow peak temperature up to specified limits in the series datasheet).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic systems — AEC-Q200 rating and 1500-hour endurance at 125°C make this capacitor suitable for high-temperature automotive modules requiring reliable SMD capacitance.
• Power management modules — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support smoothing and transient handling in DC–DC converters and power-supply circuits.
• Industrial control — Wide operating temperature range (−55°C to +125°C) and robust endurance for compact control electronics exposed to elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss, high-efficiency operation: 55 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I2R losses and improves power-conversion efficiency.
• High ripple-current tolerance: 195 mA (120 Hz) and 390 mA (100 kHz) ratings allow reliable handling of both low- and high-frequency ripple from switching loads.
• High-temperature endurance: 1500-hour life at 125°C provides predictable long-term stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in designs that require automotive-level component qualification.
• Compact SMD footprint with production-ready packaging: φ6.3 × 6L can size and embossed carrier taping simplify automated assembly and inventory handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with modern environmental standards.
