Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PCG1C471MCL1GS qualifies as a direct substitute for the PCV1C471MCL1GS based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical capacitance value: 470 µF
• Identical voltage rating: 16 V
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical dielectric type: Aluminum Polymer
• Identical package configuration: Radial, Can - SMD
• Identical surface mount land size: 0.406" L x 0.406" W (10.30mm x 10.30mm)
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected

Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain compatibility with the same PCB footprint and assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PCV1C471MCL1GS and PCG1C471MCL1GS are active products from Nichicon with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. The PCG1C471MCL1GS offers improved electrical performance characteristics, including lower ESR (20 mOhm versus 25 mOhm) and higher ripple current capability (3.7 A versus 2.8 A at 100 kHz). The PCG series component features a reduced seated height (10.00mm versus 12.70mm), which may provide advantages in space-constrained applications. The PCV series maintains a longer operational lifetime rating at 105°C (3000 hours versus 2000 hours). Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding thermal cycling, ripple current demands, and available PCB clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PCG1C471MCL1GS be used as a direct replacement for PCV1C471MCL1GS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (470 µF, 16 V, ±20% tolerance), the same package footprint (0.406" L x 0.406" W), and equivalent mounting requirements. The primary differences are performance enhancements in the PCG series and a reduction in seated height.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The PCG1C471MCL1GS has lower ESR (20 mOhm versus 25 mOhm), higher ripple current rating (3.7 A versus 2.8 A), and reduced height (10.00mm versus 12.70mm). The PCV1C471MCL1GS has a longer rated lifetime at 105°C (3000 hours versus 2000 hours).

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Both parts use identical surface mount land sizes (0.406" L x 0.406" W). The reduced height of the PCG1C471MCL1GS (10.00mm versus 12.70mm) may provide additional clearance in applications with height constraints, but no PCB redesign is required.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the PCV1C471MCL1GS and PCG1C471MCL1GS are RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Which part should be selected for high ripple current applications?

A: The PCG1C471MCL1GS is rated for 3.7 A ripple current at 100 kHz, compared to 2.8 A for the PCV1C471MCL1GS, making it the preferred choice for applications with elevated ripple current demands.
