PCA1K330MCL1GS

The PCA1K330MCL1GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic chip capacitor designed for surface-mount applications that demand high reliability and stability at elevated temperatures. It delivers 33 µF capacitance at an 80 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and verified ripple-current performance for compact power and control electronics.

Built for high-temperature endurance, the device meets AEC-Q200 requirements and is specified for 4000 hours of operation at 125°C, making it suitable for demanding automotive and high-reliability SMD assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 33 µF nominal capacitance with an 80 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — ESR specified as 38 mΩ at 100 kHz, 20°C, supporting lower dissipation and improved power performance in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — Rated ripple currents of 1.15 A at 120 Hz and 2.3 A at 100 kHz enable robust filtering and decoupling in power circuits.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Long life specified as 4000 hours at 125°C; endurance tests include ESR performance after endurance at −40°C.
• Surface-Mount, Lead-Free Assembly — Chip-type radial can SMD package with reflow soldering compatibility to a 260°C peak for lead-free processes; recommended land size 8.3 × 8.3 mm.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability and Compliance — AEC-Q200 compliance and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) conformity for regulated production environments.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC-Q200 compliance and 4000 h at 125°C endurance support use in automotive control and power electronics where high-temperature durability is required.
• Surface-mount power assemblies — Low ESR (38 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings make this part suitable for compact power conversion and decoupling on SMD boards.
• High-reliability electronics — Designed for long-life, high-temperature operation with ESR characterization after endurance, suitable for systems that require sustained performance over time.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable low-loss performance: 38 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power dissipation and supports tighter voltage regulation in high-frequency circuits.
• Verified ripple handling: Specified ripple currents (1.15 A at 120 Hz, 2.3 A at 100 kHz) provide clear, application-ready data for thermal and reliability planning.
• Long high-temperature lifetime: 4000 hours at 125°C gives defined endurance metrics for system lifetime projections in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance aligns the part with automotive reliability expectations where specified.
• Assembly-ready SMD format: Chip-type radial can package with lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C simplifies integration into surface-mount production flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) supports use in regulated manufacturing and end-products.
