Overview of PCF0E152MCL1GS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor
The PCF0E152MCL1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for demanding power electronics. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating in a compact φ10 × 10 mm SMD can, combining low ESR and high ripple-current capability for robust power decoupling and energy buffering.
Targeted at automotive and other high-reliability markets, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant part offers long-life performance with a 2000 hour endurance at 105°C and assembly-ready packaging for automated SMD placement.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 1500 µF nominal (1.5 mF) with tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Voltage Rating — Rated for 2.5 V DC operation.
- Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 13 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling low-loss performance in high-frequency circuits.
- High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 2.35 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 4.7 A at 100 kHz for effective smoothing under dynamic load.
- Loss Tangent and Leakage — tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 750 µA after standard conditioning.
- Reliability & Endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C with post-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR; damp-heat and soldering-heat resistance per series specifications.
- Temperature Range — Operates from -55°C to +105°C.
- Package & Assembly — SMD radial can, size φ10 × 10 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak correspondence up to 260°C per datasheet guidance).
- Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS-compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Suitable for electronic control modules and power subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range are required.
- Power Conversion — Use in DC–DC converter output filtering and energy storage where low ESR and high ripple-current handling reduce voltage ripple.
- High-Frequency Power Rails — Effective for decoupling and stabilization on high-frequency switching nodes thanks to low ESR at 100 kHz.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple-current capability: 4.7 A at 100 kHz and 2.35 A at 120 Hz reduce thermal stress and improve voltage stability under dynamic loads.
- Low ESR for efficient power handling: 13 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz minimizes loss and supports tight voltage regulation.
- Long high-temperature life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for robust system design.
- Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating confirms suitability for applications requiring automotive-level reliability.
- Assembly-ready SMD format: φ10 × 10 mm SMD can in embossed carrier tape supports automated placement and moisture-proof packing for reliable manufacturing.
- RoHS compliant: Meets environmental regulatory requirements for modern electronic assemblies.
