PCZ1C471MCL6GS

The PCZ1C471MCL6GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor from Nichicon’s PCZ series. It is a surface-mount, polarized capacitor specified at 470 µF and 16 V, engineered for applications that require low ESR and sustained performance in elevated temperatures.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (17 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple-current capability (up to 1.9 A at 100 kHz), long-term stability at elevated temperature (2000 hours at 150°C), and AEC-Q200 qualification for demanding environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capacity — ESR of 17 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple-current ratings of 1.9 A (100 kHz) and 950 mA (120 Hz) for improved power delivery and reduced heat rise during operation.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to 150°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 150°C.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified with endurance and damp-heat performance defined in the datasheet; capacitance and ESR remain within specified limits after endurance tests.
• Surface-Mount Package — Chip-type radial can SMD package with compact dimensions (L: 1.0 cm × D: 0.8 cm) and recommended land pattern 8.3 mm × 8.3 mm for PCB footprint efficiency.
• Lead-Free Reflow Compatible — Supports lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperature up to 260°C (reflow up to two times as specified), enabling modern SMD assembly processes.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suitable for electronic control units and other automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and operation at elevated temperatures are required.
• High-Temperature Power Modules — Energy storage and decoupling in circuits exposed to prolonged high temperatures, supported by a 2000-hour rating at 150°C.
• Compact Surface-Mount Power Designs — Small SMD footprint and robust soldering tolerance make it appropriate for dense PCB layouts that demand reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature durability: 2000 hours at 150°C rating provides proven endurance in elevated-temperature applications, helping maintain capacitance and performance over time.
• Low ESR for efficient power handling: 17 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and supports higher ripple currents, improving power-supply stability and thermal performance.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated up to 1.9 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective smoothing and transient handling in power circuits.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Qualification for demanding environments simplifies component selection for designs that require documented reliability standards.
• SMD-friendly assembly: Chip can package and compatibility with 260°C lead-free reflow profiles allow integration into standard surface-mount manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated markets and simplifies environmental compliance efforts.
