PCF0E152MCL9GS

The PCF0E152MCL9GS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount, radial can package. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating with low ESR and high ripple current capability for demanding power applications.

Engineered for reliability across a wide temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and qualified to AEC-Q200, this part targets systems that need compact energy storage, high ripple tolerance and long endurance under elevated temperature conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — 12 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Designed for high ripple environments with 2.72 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.44 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) ratings.
• Endurance & Temperature — Load-life rating of 2000 hours at 105°C and operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C for sustained performance under thermal stress.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 750 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), enabling predictable loss characteristics.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can, size φ10 × 12.7L (D × L). Recommended land size L: 1.03 cm × W: 1.03 cm. Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
• Manufacturing Compatibility — SMD type with lead-free reflow soldering condition correspondence up to a 260°C peak.
• Compliance & Qualification — RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 qualified for applications requiring automotive-grade component qualification.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification, −55°C to 105°C operating range and 2000 h endurance at 105°C are required.
• Power supply decoupling and smoothing — Low ESR (12 mΩ) and high ripple current ratings make this capacitor ideal for smoothing outputs in power rails and DC–DC converter stages.
• High-ripple power circuits — The high-frequency ripple current capability (5.44 A at 100 kHz) supports applications subject to heavy ripple stress.
• Compact SMD modules — The φ10 × 12.7L radial can SMD package and embossed carrier taping simplify placement in space-constrained assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents up to 5.44 A (100 kHz) minimize thermal buildup in demanding power applications.
• Low-loss operation: 12 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power dissipation and improves converter efficiency where switching frequencies are high.
• Thermal endurance: 2000-hour life at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and wide operating temperature make this part suitable for regulated automotive electronics designs.
• SMD-ready package: Surface-mount radial can with lead-free reflow compatibility and embossed carrier taping supports automated assembly and moisture-safe handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction aligns with common materials and environmental requirements.
